BASIC ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTIONS

our home’s signal input might come from

a single (75 ohm) round cable, a Converter Box, or from an antenna. In either case the connection to the TV is very easy.

If your Cable TV signal or Antenna signal is a round cable

(75 ohm) then you're ready to connect to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twinlead wire (300 ohm), you first

need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

If you have a Cable Converter Box: Connect the Cable TV signal

to the Cable Signal IN(put) plug on the Converter.

Connect the Cable TV cable or Antenna cable (or 300 to 75 ohm adapter) to the 75Ω plug on the TV.

If you have a Cable Converter Box: Connect the OUT(put) plug

from the Converter to the 75Ω plug on the TV.

After using the AutoProgram Control, press the CH + and – buttons to scroll through all the channels stored in the television’s memory.

COMPONENT VIDEO (CVI) INPUT CONNECTIONS

omponent Video inputs provide for the

highest possible color and picture resolution in the playback of digital signal source material, such as with DVD players. The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the luminance (Y) signal are connected and received separately, which allows for improved color bandwidth information (not possible when using composite video or SVideo connections).

Connect the Component (Y, Pb, Pr) Video OUT jacks from the

DVD player (or similar device) to the (Y, Pb, Pr) in(put) jack on the TV. When using the Component Video Inputs, it is best not to connect a signal to the AV in Video Jack.

Connect the red and white AUDIO CABLES to the Audio

(left and right) output jacks on the rear of the accessory device to the Audio (L and R) AV In Input Jacks on the TV.

Turn the TV and the DVD (or digital accessory device) ON.

Press the AV button or the CH + or CH – buttons to scroll

the available channels until CVI appears in the upper left corner of the TV screen.

Insert a DVD disc into the DVD player and press the PLAY 

button on the DVD Player.

The description for the component video connectors may differ depending on the DVD player or accessory digital source equipment used (for example, Y, Pb, Pr; Y, B-Y, R-Y; Y, Cr, Cb). Although abbreviations and terms may vary, the letters b and r stand for the blue and red color component signal connectors, and Y indicates the luminance signal. Refer to your DVD or digital accessory owner’s manual for definitions and connection details.
