How to Hook My Samsung TV to a Cable Outlet
Samsung televisions can be hooked up to many external devices, including cable outlets, DVD and Blu-ray players, cable and satellite boxes, computers, and surround sound audio. Samsung televisions come with a Plug and Play feature to guide you through the process of setting up your television. Once such process allows you to hook your Samsung television up directly to a cable outlet with no cable box, using only one 75 ohm round cable and a remote.
