Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles Some (But Not All) Channels
To complete this connection you will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four coaxial
cables (which you can buy from your Samsung dealer or any electronics store).

Find and disconnect the cable that is 
connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal
of your Splitter. This terminal might 
be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or  
simply, “IN”. Connect this cable to a 
two-way splitter.
2
Connect a coaxial cable between an
OUT terminal of the splitter and the 
IN terminal of the Cable box.
3
Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the Cable 
box and the B-IN terminal of the RF 
(A/B) switch.
4
Connect another cable between the
other OUT terminal on the splitter and 
the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) 
switch.
5
Connect the last coaxial cable between
the OUT terminal of the RF (A/B) 
switch and the ANT 1 IN (CABLE IN) 
on the TV.
After youve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. 
Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to
“B”, you will need to tune your Set-Top Box to the Cable boxs output channel, which is usually
channel 3 or 4.)

Connecting a Digital Audio System
There are many types of digital audio systems on the market today.
A simplified illustration of an audio system is shown below. For more information, see your
audio system owner’s manual.
If your audio system has a coaxial digital audio input, connect to the “COAXIAL” output jack 
on the TV.
If your audio system has a optical digital audio input, connect to the “OPTICAL“ output jack 
on the TV.
Be certain to remove the black cover from the optical output before inserting the cable.
If your system has both coaxial and optical digital audio inputs, SAMSUNG recommends 
you use the optical digital output on the TV.
Do not connect both optical and coaxial cables. This may damage your audio system.
• OPTICAL:  converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through 
glass fibers.
• COAXIAL: The digital audio signal is received through a coaxial copper cable.
