HOOKING UP YOUR TV (ANTENNA/CABLE CONNECTIONS)

A

combination antenna or a

rod antenna (supplied)
receives normal broadcast
channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF
14-69). Your connection is easy
since there is only one 75Ω
(ohm) antenna jack on the
back of your TV - and that’s
where the antenna goes.

ANTENNA

COMBINATION UHF/VHF

To set the
TV to select only
the channel num­bers in your area,
see Auto Install on
page 5.

If you install the TV
beneath a kitchen
cabinet, you may
push a rod antenna
into the antenna
hole on the bottom
of the TV cabinet
for the best use. See
page four for details
on how to install
the TV under a
kitchen cabinet.

SMART
HELP

If you install a rod

antenna (supplied), push the

base of the antenna into the
antenna hole on either the left
or the bottom of the TV.

If your antenna has a
round connector (75Ω),

then you're ready to connect it
to the TV. Go to step 2.

If your antenna has flat
twin-lead wire (300Ω), you

first need to attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300
to 75Ω adapter (not supplied).

Push the round end of
the adapter (cable or rod
antenna) onto the
ANT(enna) IN jack on the
back of the TV. If the round

end of the adapter or cable is
threaded, screw it down tight.

Y

ou may have two separate

antennas. One antenna is
for VHF channels (2-13) and
the other antenna is for UHF
channels (14-69).
For homes with separate
UHF/VHF antennas, you will
need an optional combiner
before you can connect the
antennas to the TV.

case, the connection to the TV
is very easy.

If you do not have a

Cable Box, then you're ready

to connect your Cable TV sig­nal to the TV. Go to step 2.

If you have a Cable Box:

Connect the Cable TV signal
to the IN jack on the Cable
Box.

If you do not have a

Cable Box, connect the Cable

TV signal directly to the
ANT(enna) IN jack on the TV.

If you have a Cable Box:

Use a coaxial cable (not sup­plied) to connect the OUT jack
of the Cable Box to the
ANT(enna) IN jack on the TV.
