F
or homes with Cable
TV Converter
Descrambler Boxes (with
Premium/Movie Channels
scrambled), follow the
steps to the right for an
alternative ANT A and
ANT B PIP feature
hookup. Note the Cable TV
signal will be split before
connection to the
Converter box (an optional two-way 75 ohm Signal
Splitter will be required).

Cable TV Signal
Y
our TV has two separate ANT(enna)/Cable
inputs on the rear of the
set. These two signal
inputs offer convenient
hook-up options for both
normal TV program viewing and Picture-In-Picture
(PIP) features.
The ANT(enna) A input is
intended for use and view-
ing on the TV’s main
screen. Your home’s primary Antenna, or Cable
TV signal, should be connected to this input for
normal TV setup, use and
feature operation.
The ANT(enna) B input is
a second, or auxiliary sig-
nal source, designed to
supply your TV’s PictureIn-Picture (PIP) feature.
For many homes the use of
a single existing Antenna
(or Cable TV) source, for
both ANT A and B, will be
the preferred method of
connection. This type of
connection (optional
Signal Splitter required)
will work properly for the
TV’s Main on-screen features, as well as retain all
the features designed for
PIP. For more details refer
to the Picture-In-Picture
section in your other
owner’s manual.

Top Box providers.
These optional

display digital

programming on
your High

Widescreen TV.
Be sure to set the
TV for the type signal you've connected (see "SETUP" on
page 2 of this
Guide.)
Your TV can set itself
to select only the
channel numbers on
your Cable system
(see “Setup" page 2).
If you use a Cable
Converter box, set
the TV to the same
channel as the converter's CH 3/4
switch (on the rear of
the converter.)

Note: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon
connection of the ANT B input. Its main purpose is to provide
an easily connected, dedicated picture source for PIP feature
use. Other signal source options (such as a satellite dish system, additional external antenna, VCR, or Video Game) could
also be connected and displayed on the TV screen through the
use of the ANT B input.
Note: Although the ANT B input can be used and swapped
as the source for the TV’s Main picture, certain setup fea-
tures (such as Smart Clock) are only based on a signal being
detected at the ANTAinput. To ensure that all features are
operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on the ANT
B input as your TV’s Main screen signal source.

A typical ANT(enna)
A and B connection (using a
common signal source and an
optional Signal Splitter):
If your Antenna or Cable TV
signal has a round cable connector (75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it
to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.
If your antenna has flat twinlead wire (300 ohm), you first
need to attach the antenna wires
to the screws on a 300 to 75
ohm adapter before connecting
to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.
Connect your Antenna or
Cable TV signal to the single
75 ohm input plug on the twoway Signal Splitter (optional).
Then connect two lengths of RF
Coaxial Cable to the two Output
plugs on the two-way Signal
Splitter (F-type connector on
both ends).
Connect the twin Output
plugs on the Signal Splitter to
the ANT A and ANT B inputs
on the rear of the TV. Push the
round connector end of the RF
Coaxial Cable onto the
ANT(enna) plug and screw it
down tight (if using threaded
cables).
Connect your Cable
TV signal to the single 75 ohm
INPUT plug on a two-way
Signal Splitter (optional).
Connect one end of RF
Coaxial Cable to each of the
OUTPUT plugs on the 75 ohm
Signal Splitter. The two lengths
of RF Coaxial Cable need Ftype connectors (screw-on or
push type) for both ends.
Connect one of the Signal
Splitter OUTPUTs to the
INput terminal on the Cable
TV Converter Box. Then route
another connection from the
Cable Converter OUTput terminal to the ANTA Input on
the rear of the TV.
Connect the remaining
Signal Splitter OUTPUT
from the Splitter to the ANT
B Input on the rear of the TV.
