A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals from an antenna or a
cable TV company to the antenna jack on the back of the TV.
Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
A two-way signal splitter enables you to take a single antenna or
cable TV signal and supply it to two different inputs.
A 300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter accepts the antenna cables
(called twin-lead wires) from an antenna, allowing you to connect
the antenna signal to the TV.
A S-Video cable provides better picture performance than regular
(composite) video connections.
S-Video cables can be used only with S-Video-compatible accessory devices. You must also connect the left and right audio
cables to the AV 2 Audio in jacks because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Video and audio cables with standard RCA (phono) connectors connect the video and audio jacks of accessory devices
such as VCRs and DVD players to the jacks on the TV.
These connectors are usually color coded. The jacks on your
TV are also color coded to match the colors of the connectors.
Yellow for video (composite) and Red and White for the right
and left audio channels. The video cables used to connect component video or RGB (high-resolution) jacks are color coded
red, green, and blue.
A DVI (Digital Video) cable that will support digital connec-
tion from a PC. Only Single Digital Link DVI is supported for

NTENNA TV
A
combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is
A
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.
1
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
2
the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.
Plug the television into the wall outlet and turn the TV
on.

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