Basic Cable TV Connection
The Cable TV signal into your home may be a single cable (75 ohm ) or may include a Cable Box. In either case, the connection to the TV is easy.
If your Cable TV signal comes directly via a 75 ohm coaxial cable, using the following steps:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the 75 ohm ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV. Screw it down tight.
Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV to CATV as detailed on page 12. Refer to AUTO SEARCH to set up your available TV channels. Details are on page 13.
If you have a Cable Box, use the following steps:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the IN jack on the Cable Box.
Connect a separate coaxial cable to the OUT jack on the Cable Box and to the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV.
Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV to CATV as detailed on page 12.
Set the TV to channel 3 or 4 (the same as the channel 3/4 switch on your Cable Box if applicable). Change channels at the Cable Box.
