Hook-up Cables and Connectors

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components and the length of each cable.

First time

300-Ohm Twin Lead Cable

This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

Phono Cable

Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the

television’s rear jack panel and front control panel.

“F” Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Cable

For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television.

S-Video (Super Video) Cable

This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laser- disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.

Optical Cable

This cable is used to connect to an audio amplifier with an Optical Audio In jack. Use this cable for the best sound quality.

HDMI Cable

This cable is used to connect your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection to the TV’s HDMI input.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL

VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect CATV coaxial cable to the AIR/CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal. Or

if you have an antenna, connect the coaxial cable to the

same AIR/CABLE terminal.
