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.
2
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.
3
Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the
OUT(put) (TO TV) plug on the back of the Cable Box.
4
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 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.
5
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.

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.
