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:

1

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

tight.

2

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

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

3

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.

4

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

5

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

6

Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on.
Refer to the TUNER (page 3) and AUTOPROGRAM (page

4) features of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to

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 (page 3) and AUTOPROGRAM
(page 4) features of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be
set to the ANTENNAoption. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to
program all the available channels on your cable signal into
the television’s memory.
