Antenna Connections

If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, follow the instructions below that correspond to your antenna system. If you are using a cable TV (CATV) see “CABLE TV CONNECTIONS”.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 Ohm cable or 300 Ohm twin-lead wire)

Connect the 75 Ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna to the Antenna Jack.

If your combination VHF/UHF antenna has a 300 Ohm twin-lead wire, the use of the 300-75 Ohm Matching Transformer may be necessary. Connect the VHF 75 Ohms cable and UHF 300 Ohm.

CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 Ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the side of the TV.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 Ohm Coaxial Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 Ohm coaxial cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
