Basic Connections
TV with Cable, Indoor, or Outdoor Antenna
Depending on the cable system available in your home, choose one of the connections below:
Use option A to connect the TV to a cable system or an antenna with a 75-ohm cable
(usually built into newer homes).
Connections
✍ Converter EAC-25 is commercially known as a 300-to-75 ohm antenna adapter.
Use option B to connect the TV to a dipole antenna, also known as a “rabbit ears antenna“
(usually found in older homes).
✍ If you are connecting to an indoor or outdoor antenna, you may need to adjust the orientation of the
antenna for the best reception.
Connecting Two RF Inputs
If you want to watch RF signals for both antenna (over-the-air) and cable broadcast signals,
you’ll need to use an optional A-B switch for RF inputs (not supplied), as shown below.
Use the A-B selector to switch between the
over-the-air signals and the cable signals.
Then set the Cable setting in the Channel
Setup menu to On or Off, as described on
page 41.
