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

OPERATION
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 UP/DOWN buttons to select “Channel”, then press the ENTER button.
2
Repeatedly press the ENTER button to cycle through these choices: Air, STD, HRC or IRC (all cable TV).
Press the
UP/DOWN
buttons to select the Video signal source, then press the ENTER button.
Press the EXIT button to exit.
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).
