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.
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.

IN S TA L L AT I O N
1
Plug the antenna lead into the VHF/UHF
terminal on the bottom of the back panel.
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.
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
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.

IN S TA L L AT I O N
1
Find the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box.
2
Connect the other end of this cable to the VHF/UHF antenna terminal on the back of the TV.
▼ This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply, “OUT”.
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.
▼ |
This terminal might be labeled |
“ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.
