Basic Connections: Connecting a Cable or Antenna

Cable or Antenna Only

The way in which you will connect your TV varies, depending on how your home receives a signal (cable, cable box, antenna) and whether or not you plan to connect a VCR.

For best results, use one of the following connections if you are connecting a cable or an antenna and you:

❑Do not need a cable box to unscramble channels. (If you have a cable box, see page 6.)

❑Do not intend to connect a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 8 and 9.)

The connection you choose depends on the cable type you have in your home, as described below.
