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 page 7.

If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas”, on page 7.

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

Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 30075 ohm adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Plug the adaptor into the TV ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

01-12_EN 11/14/03 9:55 PM Page 6

English-7

Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

Plug the incoming cable into the TV 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.

Plug the combiner into the TV ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

INSTALLATION

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

Plug the antenna lead into the TV ANTENNA 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 a an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

01-12_EN 11/14/03 9:55 PM Page 7

English-8

INSTALLATION

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

Find the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT”, or simply, “OUT”.

Connect the other end of this cable to the TV 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.)

Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN”, or simply, “IN”.

Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

Connect a coaxial cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

01-12_EN 11/14/03 9:55 PM Page 8

English-9

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the A/B switch.

Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect the last coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the VHF/UHF terminal on the rear of the TV.

INSTALLATION

After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
