BASIC TELEVISION CONNECTIONS

CABLE TV

CABLE INPUT/CONVERTER

Your Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm) cable, or a Converter Box installation.

In either case the connection to the TV is very easy. Just put the threaded end of the cable signal to the TV's antenna plug and screw it down finger tight.

HELP

Remember: Set the TV for the type signal you've just connected (see the “Tuner Mode”

section on page 3 of this Set-Up Guide.)

To select only the channel numbers on your Cable system see “Auto Program" (page 4). If you use a Cable Converter box, set the TV to the same channel as the converter's CH 3/4 switch (on the rear of the converter.)

ANTENNA

COMBINATION UHF/VHF

Acombination antenna receives normal broad-

cast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy since there is only one 75Ω

(ohm) antenna plug on the back of your TV - and that’s where the antenna goes.

Combination VHF/UHF

Antenna (Outdoor or Indoor)

If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the 75Ω plug on the rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

Note: For homes with separate UHF and VHF antennas you will need an optional combiner to connect to the TV.
