INSTALLATION
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that
look like this, see “Antennas with
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks
like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads” on next page.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas” on next page.
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1
Place the wires from the
twin leads under the
screws on the 300-75 ohm
adaptor (not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to
tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adaptor into the
“VHF/UHF” terminal on
the bottom of the back
panel.
English - 9
INSTALLATION
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna lead into
the “VHF/UHF”
terminal on the bottom of
the back panel.
Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must
combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This
procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1
Connect both antenna
leads to the combiner.
2
Plug the combiner into the
“VHF/UHF” terminal on
the bottom of the rear
panel.
Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
1
Plug the incoming cable
into the “VHF/UHF”
antenna terminal on back
of the TV.
▼
Because this TV is cable-ready,
you do not need a cable box to
view unscrambled cable channels.
English - 10
INSTALLATION
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

this cable to the
“VHF/UHF” antenna
terminal on the back of
the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the
instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of
coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect the
cable that is connected to
the ANTENNA IN
terminal on your cable
box.
2
Connect this cable to a
two-way splitter.
