Connecting the TV

Basic Connections

Overview

Connecting Antenna System

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and choose the correct display format. It is strongly recommended to connect the cable and antenna input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV. The way in which you connect your TV will vary, depending on how your home receives a signal (antenna and satellite; cable and cable box). Do not use an indoor antenna, which is especially susceptible to radio noise.

Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.

For best results, use this connection if you have an antenna system.

Connecting a VCR for Playing Back

Use AV cables to connect the VCR’s AV output jacks to the TV’s AV input jacks. If your VCRs have S-VIDEO jacks, for best picture quality, use an S-VIDEO connection instead of the video cable (yellow) on your combined A/V cable. Use a S-VIDEO cable to connect the VCR’s S-VIDEO OUT jack to the TV’s SVIDEO IN jack. S-VIDEO does not provide audio, so audio cables must be connected to provide sound.
