External Equipment Connections

Antenna Connection

Generally speaking, to enjoy a clearer picture, we recommend that you use a CATV system or an outdoor antenna .In different places, the suitable antenna type and position are different.

Mixer outdoor additional antenna purchase

Antenna input 75 standard

coaxial type

ANT IN

75 coaxial cable

300 twin-lead cable

Plug

Antenna adapter

(additional purchase)

Note

* It is recommended that you'd better use 75 coaxial cable to remove the disturbance caused by airwave.

* Don't bind antenna cable and electric wire together.

If the antenna needs to be split for two Tv`s, install a 2-WaySignal Splitter in the connections.

If the antenna is not installed properly, contact your dealer for assistance.

To improve picture quality in a poor signal area, purchase and install a signal amplifier.

External Equipment Connection

NOTE: All cables shown are not included with the TV.

Choose Your Connection

There are several ways to connect your television, depending on the components you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. The following are examples of some ways to connect your TV.

Choose the connection which is best for you.

VCR connection

-To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR And TV.

1. Connect the SCART cables from the VCR's output jacks to the TV`s input jacks, as shown in the figure.

2. Insert a video tape into the VCR and press PLAY on the VCR. (Refer to the VCR owner`s manual.)
