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).

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,
species 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 75-
ohm cable into the ANT. terminal.
■ Some cable TV companies of fer premium pay channels. Since the
signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable T V
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 specic instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company.
