Using the on-screen 
functions

z

If your cable provider does not feature local channels, you may find 
this set up convenient.

Select CABLE or antenna (ANT) mode by pressing ANT on the remote 
control.

Some pay cable TV systems use scrambled or encoded signals that 
require a cable box to view all channels.

Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the 
cable box’s IN jack.

Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the 
TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

✍

In order to receive channels with an antenna, you need to turn your Cable to OFF and 
perform the Auto Program function (see page 30).

✍

If you will be controlling all channel selection through your cable box, you should 
consider using the Channel Fix feature (see page 30).

Cable Box and Cable
For this set up, you can switch between scrambled channels (through 
your cable box), and normal (CATV) channels by pressing ANT on the 
remote control.

✍

Your Sony remote control can be programmed to operate your cable box (see 
“Programming the Remote Control” on page 42). 

When using Favorite Channel or Twin View, you cannot view the AUX input in the 
window picture.

Pressing ANT switches between these inputs.

✍

If you are connecting a cable box through the AUX input and would like to switch 
between the AUX and normal (CATV) input you should consider using the Channel Fix 
feature (see page 30).

z

Connect the cable TV cable to the VCR’s IN jack.

Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the TV’s 
VHF/UHF jack.

Using an A/V cable, connect the VCR’s A/V OUT jacks to the 
TV’s A/V IN jacks.

✍

If your VCR has an S VIDEO jack: For best picture quality, use an S VIDEO connection 
instead of the yellow video cable on your combined A/V cable. Using an S VIDEO cable, 
connect the VCR’s S VIDEO OUT jack to the TV’s S VIDEO IN jack. S VIDEO does not 
provide audio, so audio cables must still be connected to provide sound.
