our home’s signal input might come from
a single (75 ohm) round cable, a

onverter Box, or from an antenna. In either

ase the connection to the TV is very easy.

1

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.

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

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

3

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

4

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.

5

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

button on the DVD Player.

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-
