2.2 POWER CONNECTION

2.1 INSTALLATION OF ANTENNA

75 OHM

ANTENNA INPUT

A combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels. Your connection is easy since you will
connect the antenna to the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV.

If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end, then you are ready to connect it to the TV.
Go to the next step. 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 (not supplied with your TV).

Plug the round end of the adapter or antenna cable onto the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the
rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna cable is threaded, screw it down tight.

75-ohm
Coaxial Cable

flat twin-lead wire

300 to 75 ohm

Plug the TV s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Refer to AUTO SEARCH to set up
your available TV channels.

Note:

If you have separate UHF and VHF antennas, you need an optional combiner to connect the antennas
to the TV.

2.3 TV + VCR + DVD CONNECTION

Connect the audio cables (white and red) to the R and L AUDIO jacks on the TV and the Audio output
jacks on the VCR (or other component). Match the cable color to the jack color.

If your component has Component Output jacks YUV (Y, Cr, Cb), connect three video grade cables to
the Y, Cr, Cb jacks on the component and to the Y, Cr, Cb jacks on the TV. If your component doesn’t
have these jacks, go to the next step.

If your component has an S-VIDEO jack, connect an S-VIDEO cable to the S-VIDEO jack on the back
of the TV and to the S-VIDEO jack on the component. If your component doesn’t have an S-VIDEO jack,
go to the next step.

Connect a video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO INPUT jack on the TV and to the VIDEO OUT jack on your
VCR (or other component).

Turn on the TV and the component.

Press the TV/AV button repeatedly until the correct video input channel appears in the upper right corner
of the TV screen. For front inputs choose AV1, for rear AV inputs choose AV2 or AV3. This model has
component jacks (Y, Cb, Cr), choose YUV as your video input channel.

Notes:

Use either S-VIDEO jack or VIDEO INPUT 3 jacks. Do not use both at the same time for the same piece
of equipment. This would interfere with the picture display.
S-VIDEO and AV INPUT 3 are sharing the same audio input.
YUV INPUT and AV INPUT 2 are sharing the same audio input.

The basic component (VCR, DVD player etc.) to TV connection is described below. For other hookup, refer
to your component’s instruction manual.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 PROBLEMS OF PICTURE

The most common types of picture problems are as follows:

IGNITION

Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or
the picture flutters or drifts. This is usually
caused by interference from car ignition
system, neon lamps, electric drills, or other
electrical appliances.

GHOSTS

Ghosts are caused by the television signal
following two paths. One is the direct path, the
other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or
other objects. Changing the direction or
position of the antenna may improve the
reception.

SNOW

If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a
television signal where the signal is weak, the
picture may be marred by dots. When the
signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary
to install a special antenna to improve the
reception.

RADIO FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE

This interference produces moving ripples or
diagonal streaks, and in some cases, loss of
contrast in the picture.

CRT DEGAUSSING

If the TV screen has been magnetized with
impropercolourappearing on the particular area
of screen,power off the TV (or unplug AC cord).
After10 minutes, turnon the mainpower(orplug
in AC cord). Repeat the above process until
improper colour disappear.
