HOW TO CONNECT TO CABLE TV
Simply connect your coaxial cable into the 75 OHM input on the back of your TV. If there is no 75 OHM input, there will be two screws marked VHF for which a matching transformer will be required. Transformers are estimated at a cost of less than $5.00. If you have a VCR, you may connect the coaxial cable into the back of it where it is marked input or antenna. You must then connect a second coaxial cable from the back of the VCR marked "output" or "to TV" and connect the other end into the back of the TV. You may need to do this because the cable system offers 43 channels and if your TV can not accommodate all 43 channels, your VCR may.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No channels or snowy channels above 13. 1 - If your TV has a dial to change channels, your TV is not cable ready. 2 - If your TV is cable ready but you cannot get above channel 13, you must do one of two things: A - Look on your TV or VCR for a switch marked cable/catv-normal switch. This switch must be in the cable/catv position. B - If no switch is found, then you can change this by going into the on screen menu of the TV that says input/source. This menu will usually give you a choice of either antenna, cable, catv, catv std, catv hrc, or catv irc. You need to select one of the following depending on your TV - cable, catv, or catv std.
SNOWY PICTURES / GHOST LINES
Take your coaxial cable directly from the wall plate to the back of your TV bypassing the converter, VCR and TV/game switch. If this clears up your reception, refer to the proper way to hook up cable TV. If you still have a problem please contact Lorraine Lallier at ext.6545.
