Have a cable and an antenna.
(This is convenient if you are using a separate rooftop antenna to receive additional channels that are not provided by your cable company.)

For best results, use this connection if:
,3 Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble all channels.
,3 You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 24 and 26.)
,3 Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the TV's AUX input jack. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box; see "Programming the Remote Control" on page 47.)
,3 Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly into the TV's VHF/UHF input.
(The TV's tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
With this connection,you can use all the dual picture features for unscrambledchannels coming directly into the TV'sVHFIUHFinput jack.
However,you can use only someof the dual picture features for channelscoming through the cable box to the W's AUXinput jack. Forexample,when you switch the TV's input to AUX-- to selectthe cable box input -- the picture displaysonly in the left window. Forexample,if you turn on Twin View,you can watch cable channelscoming into the VHFIUHFjack in the right window, but you cannot swap the pictures between the left and right windows.
Toconnect the cable box and cable
1
Connect the cable from your cable company to the TV's
VHF/UHF jack.
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the TV's TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box's input jack. (The TV's internal converter lets you switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.)
Use a coaxial cable to connect the cable box's output jack to the
TV's AUX jack.

About Using
S VIDEO
Q
If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack (shown at left), you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture quality (compared to an A/V cable).
Because S VIDEO carries only the video signal, you also need to connect audio cables for sound, as shown below.
