Antenna Connection
ANTENNAS
• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white
television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna
systems.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
F-type connector
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (not supplied).
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm
adapter (not supplied).
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.
• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber
by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the
scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this
is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV,
consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler
provided by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s
channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/
descrambler by using the converter’s channel keys.
