Memorex MT2251 - Manual

VHF Antenna

Incoming CATV

This television has an extended tuning range and
can tune most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box. Some cable
companies offer "premium pay channels" in which
the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals
for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler
device which is generally provided by the cable
company.

FEATURES

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm
cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF
antenna to the antenna jack.
If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire,
use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF
and UHF 300 ohm twin-leads)

Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied).
Connect the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm matching
transformer (not supplied). Attach the transformer to the
combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.

Separate VHF/UHF Antennas

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the
UHF antenna twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach
the combiner to the antenna jack.
NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the
300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied), then
connect the transformer to the combiner.

For Subscribers of Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/
descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable
directly to the antenna jack on the back of the television.

For Subscribers of Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of
a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to
the converter/descrambler box and connect the output of
the box to the antenna jack on the back of the television.
Follow the connections shown left. Set the television to the
output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or
4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select
channels.

For Subscribers of Unscrambled Basic Cable
with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to
use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set
coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or
an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown
on left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly
tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the
switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use
the box to tune scrambled channels.
