HOOKING UP THE TELEVISION
A
combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is
easy because there is only one 75Ω (ohm) antenna plug on
the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.
1
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.
2
Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the
75Ω (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of
the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.
3
Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV
on.
Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features
within the Directions for Use. TUNER should be set to the
ANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program
all the available channels on your antenna signal into the television’s memory.

our Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm)
cable or use a cable box decoder. In either case the connection is very simple. Follow the steps below to connect your cable
signal to your new television.
Direct Cable Connections:
This connection will supply Stereo sound to the TV.
1
Connect the open end of the round Cable Company supplied cable to the 75Ω input on the TV. Screw it down finger
tight.
Cable Box (w/RF In/Outputs):
This connection will NOT supply Stereo sound to the TV. The sound
from the cable box will be mono.

the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of
the Cable Box.
2
Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the
OUT(put) (TO TV) plug on the back of the Cable Box.
3
Connect the other end of the round coaxial cable to the
75Ω input on the back of the television. Screw it down finger
tight.
NOTE: Be sure to set the OUTPUT CHANNEL SWITCH on the
back of the cable box to CH 3 or 4, then tune the cable box on the
TV to the corresponding channel. Once tuned, change channels at
the cable box, not the television.
Cable Box (w/Audio/Video Outputs):
This connection will supply Stereo sound to the TV.
1
Connect the open end of the round Cable Company supplied cable to
the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of
the Cable Box.

differently) Out jack on the cable box and the other end to the
AV1 Video Input on the TV.
3
Using a RCA type Audio Left and Right Cable, connect one
end to the left and right Audio Out L & R jacks on the
cable box. Connect the other end to the AV1 Audio L & R
Input jacks on the TV.
NOTE: Use the AV button on the TV remote control to tune to the
AV 1 channel for the cable box signal. Once tuned, change channels at
