Notes:

-We recommend that you use 75 ohm coaxial cable to eliminate interference and noise.

-Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna, cable wall outlet, or descrambler box to the Antenna Input jack on the TV.

-If you subscribe to a cable television 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 RF IN jack on the television.

-Set the television to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

-If your combination VHF/UHF antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, you may need to use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer.

-Antenna cables should not be bundled with electrical power cords.

-If the antenna is not installed correctly, see your dealer for assistance.

Connecting to other equipment

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the television is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner's manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.

The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular components. The diagrams are intended to show component video and audio interconnections only.

Selecting the video input source

Press INPUT on the remote to view a signal from another device connected to your television, such as a VCR or DVD player. You can select ANT, AV1 (or S-Video), AV2 (on the side panel), or COMPONENT depending on which input jacks you used to connect your devices.

Note: The S-Video input uses the same circuit as AV1. If both S-Video and AV1 inputs are connected, the S-Video signal overrides the AV1 signal and SVIDEO is shown on the on-screen display. To watch the AV1 input, disconnect the S-Video cable.
