TV Information
Hook Up Your Cable TV
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The instructions that follow are generic in nature and are meant
to serve only as guidelines. Refer to your TV owner’s manual
for specific instructions for your set. Your TV should be cable-ready*
and able to receive at least 80 cable channels. Report problems
to the ITU Support Center at (703) 993-8870.
-
Connect
the TV to the cable wall jack using a coaxial cable. If the
TV has more than one input jack, select the one labeled "CABLE"
or "CATV."
- Plug the TV power
cord into an electrical outlet and turn the TV power on.
- Configure your set
to receive CABLE or CATV signals. This is usually accessed through
a MENU or SETUP option on the TV’s remote control. Refer
to your TV owner’s manual for specific directions for your
set.
- Program the TV to
receive channels. This is usually accessed through the same MENU
or SETUP option used above. Locate an option labeled AUTOPROGRAM
and select it. The TV will search through all channels and program
the working channels. Refer to your TV owner’s manual for
specific directions for your set.
- Your TV should now
receive all on-campus channels (typically channels 9, 23, 39-78).
Known problems: If your TV has cable signal auto detection (for
example, the Symphonic brand TVs), but does not have the ability
to manually configure the set to receive CABLE or CATV signals
(typically configured through a MENU or SETUP option on the TV’s
remote control), it may not automatically pick up the cable channel
lineup. Currently there is no reliable way to correct this problem,
and it is recommended that only TVs with manual CABLE setup be
purchased.
