For best results, use this connection if:
❑
Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium
channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not
scramble all channels.
With this connection you can:
❑
Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through
the cable box. (You must first program the remote control for
your specific cable box; see "Programming the Remote Control"
on page 49.)
❑
Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly
into the TV's CABLE jack. (The TV's tuner provides a better
signal than the cable box.)
❑
Record channels coming through the cable box and channels
coming directly into the TV.
