Connecting an outside antenna
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and 300 ohm.
• If your antenna cable has a 75ohm connector, connect the cable
to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
• If your antenna cable has a 300ohm connector, connect the cable
to a 300-75ohm adapter (not included), connect the ad apter to a
75ohm cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm
connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
Connecting cable TV
Your TV has a 75ohm jack for connecting cable TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for “premium” (pay)
channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler
box.
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your
cable TV directly to your TV. If you have a converter/d escrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For
more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box,
contact your cable TV provider.
To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box:
1Connect one end of a 75ohm cable to the coaxial jack on the back
of your TV.
2Connect the other end of the cable to the cable TV wall outlet.
To connect cable TV with a converter/descrambler box:
• Use the following illustration to connect a converter/descrambler
box. (The RF switch and the signal splitter are not provided.)
Set the RF switch to the A position to tune to unscrambled
channels using your TV remote control. Set the RF switch to the B
position to watch scrambled channels using the
converter/descrambler controls.
