Chapter 2

Installing the LCD TV

Refer to the owner’s manual of any external equipment to be connected.

When connecting any external equipment, do not connect any AC power cords to wall outlets until all other connections are completed.

Connecting a TV Cable or an Antenna

Antenna Connection

The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for a black & white TV reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna systems.

A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable (not included) with F- type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-lead cable (not included) that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (not included).

Chapter 2 Installing the LCD TV

Cable TV (CATV) Connection

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building accurately, or as close to the point of cable entry as possible. Use of this TV for other than private viewing of programs broadcasted on UHF, VHF or transmitted by cable companies for the use of the general public may require authorization from the broadcast/cable company, and/ or program owner.

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, connect the 75ohm cable into the ANT. terminal.

Some cable TV companies offer premium pay channels. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.

This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of scrambled channels.

(Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.)

For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of connecting the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is shown in the diagram below.
