Connecting the TV signal sources

w

WARNING: Before connecting the TV to any other electronic device, unplug the TV and electronic device AC cords from the AC input.

The following is an explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, screw it onto the RF Input connector at the rear of the TV set.

A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with an F-type connector that can easily be attached to a connector without tools (sold separately).

A 300-ohm system is a flat, twin-lead cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm connector through a 300/75-ohm adapter (sold separately).

An F-type connector should be finger- tightened only. When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not use tools to tighten the F-type connector, as it may cause damage to your TV set.

About the Emergency Alert System (EAS)

In the case of a national emergency, natural disaster, or other emergency situation, an EAS message broadcasts. When this unit receives an EAS message, if the level of emergency is comparatively low, an alert text message displays on screen. If the level of emergency is high, the receiver is forced-tuned to a details channel.

Alert text messages display, and forced tuning occurs, even during paid programming. Even when forced tuning is active, the user can still change the channel.

If the unit is forced-tuned to a channel that has been blocked by Parental Control, the Parental Control setting is given priority, and the EAS message is not broadcast.

EAS messages may be broadcast not only through digital cable, but also through analog cable or over-the-air analog transmission.
