HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

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.

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

When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If you have a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT B terminal.

VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna

When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna. connect the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF adaptor. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV.
