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 into 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 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
CABLE option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program all
the available channels on your cable signal into the televi­sion’s memory.

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 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.

T

he TV onscreen menu controls are viewed within a

mobile map or track system. This system allows you to
move along linked paths tied to specific Feature Title cate­gories (TV, Install, etc). Each press of the Cursor buttons on
the remote, or top of the TV, moves the cursor control to
balls or dots indicating specific controls. Each specific con­trol may have multiple features that can be adjusted. The
animated onscreen menu structure will expand to view all

TRACK lines represent the structure of the onscreen
menu. They tie all the controls together and show the path
you can follow to access the available controls.

2

BALLS or DOTS indicate the titles of features or controls
available on this television. Some of these controls when
highlighted, may show more TRACKS and BALLS, indi­cating sub-categories or “lists” of controls within the high­lighted control. These sub controls will also have TRACKS
and BALLS as described with the feature controls.

allowing adjustments to the value of the control. Some

may show a box containing a list of multiple options set­tings. Others may only have an ON or OFF option.
