Antenna or Direct Cable TV Connection

Connect the TV to an outside antenna or to your cable system using a 75-ohm coaxial cable.

Connect the cable coming into the house to the ANT 1 connector on the back of the TV.

If your coaxial cable has a screw-type connector on the end, secure it by turning the end clockwise.

If you’ll also be attaching a VCR to the TV, you need to use a different connection method so you can record TV programs. See “VCR and Cable Service (Without Cable Box) Connection” on page 25.

Note

If you have an older home, you may have a 300-ohm twin lead cable. If so, you also need an antenna connector or U/V splitter to connect it to your TV. Keep the twin lead cable as far away from your TV as possible to reduce the radio noise that may cause signal problems.
