About antenna connections

For acceptable reception of VHF and UHF channels, an external antenna is required. For best reception, we recommend an outdoor antenna.

Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and 300 ohm.

75 ohm cable

To connect an antenna:

1If you watch broadcast stations without using a set-top box, connect the antenna to the AIR connector on the back of the TV.

- OR -

If you use cable TV, connect the cable box’s cable to the CABLE connector on the back of the TV.

300-ohm cable

If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector, connect the cable to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.

If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector, connect the cable to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect the adapter to a 75 ohm cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.

Precautions

Carefully check the terminals for position and type before making any connections.

Loose connectors can result in image or color problems. Make sure that all connectors are securely inserted into their terminals.

When connecting an external device, turn it off before trying to connect it.

Note

A local television service center or dealer may be able to help you get the correct antenna system (and accessories) for your particular area.

Anything related to installing an antenna, installing accessories, or upgrading your current system is your responsibility.

2Select the TV Source (AIR or CABLE) in the CHANNEL SETUP menu, then perform an auto channel search. For more information, see “Memorizing channels” on page 24.
