HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

Most audio/video 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. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.

300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector

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

Phono Connector

Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the TV/VCR Combination's rear jack panel.

"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector

For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the TV/VCR Combination.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal TV, cable TV (CATV), a TV game, etc.

1. VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect the VHF adapter from the VHF 75 ohm receptacle and connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF 75 ohm receptacle.

2. VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna

When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna, disconnect the (VHF or UHF) indoor antenna leads from screws of the (VHF or UHF) adapter, and connect outdoor (VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these screws of a (VHF or UHF) adapter.

3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected

Attach an ANT. MIXER to the TV antenna terminal, and connect the cables to the ANT. MIXER.
