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.

9

IN S TA L L AT I O N

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.

10

IN S TA L L AT I O N

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

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”.

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.

This terminal might be labeled

“ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.

2

Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

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.)
