our 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. Follow the steps below to connect your cable signal to your new television.

If your cable signal comes directly from a round 75Ω coaxial cable use the following steps:

Connect the open end of the round Cable Company supplied cable to the 75Ω input on the TV. Screw it down finger

tight.

Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the AUTO PROGRAM feature to program all the available channels on your cable signal.

If your cable signal comes from a cable box, use the following steps:

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.

Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the OUT(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box.

Connect the other end of the round coaxial cable to the 75Ω input on the back of the television. Screw it down finger tight.

Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTO PROGRAM features on page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the CABLE option. AUTO PROGRAM can be set to program all the available channels on your cable signal into the television’s memory.

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.

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 (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on.

Refer to the TUNER and AUTO PROGRAM features on page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the ANTENNA option. AUTO PROGRAM can be set to program all the available channels on your cable signal into the television’s memory.
