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.
2
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

omponent Video inputs provide for the
highest possible color and picture resolu-
on in the playback of digital signal source
material, such as with DVD players. The
olor difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the
uminance (Y) signal are connected and
eceived separately, which allows for
mproved color bandwidth information (not
ossible when using composite video or S-
Video connections).
1
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.
2
Connect the red and white
AUDIO CABLES to the Audio
(left and right) output jacks on the

The description for the component video con-
nectors 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 dig-
