Antenna or

Am(i;nna).\ & В IM44.S
our TV has two sepa
rate ANT(enna)/Cable
F
inputs on the rear of the
set. These two signal
inputs offer convenient
hook-up options for both
normal TV program view
ing 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 pri
mary Antenna, or Cable
TV signal, should be con
nected 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 fea
tures, 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.

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 con
nector (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.

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).
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 sys
tem, 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 TV Guide Plus+) are only based on a signal
being detected at the ANT A input. 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.
For details on product registration, warranty,
and service refer to the other literature included
with your TV information packet.
