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.
Chapter Two
INSTALLATION
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.

INSTALLATION
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.
2
Plug the combiner into the
VHF/UHF terminal on the
bot tom of the rear 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.
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna lead into
the VHF/UHF
terminal on the bottom of
the back panel.

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.)
▼

Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna)
and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and
CH buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change
channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels:
selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the
type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).
1
Press the MENU button to
display the menu.
Press the
▲ or ▼ but ton
to select “Channel”, then
press the œœor √√but ton.
2
Repeatedly press the œœor
√√
button to cycle through
these choices:
ANT(antenna),STD,HRC or
IRC (all cable TV).
Press the EXIT button to
exit the menu.
Note: STD, HRC and IRC identify various types of cable TV systems. Contact your local cable company to identify the type of cable system that exists in your particular area.
At this point the signal source has been selected. Proceed to “Storing Channels in Memory” (next
page).
