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

75 ohm cable

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.

Connecting cable TV

Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable TV.

Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for “premium” (pay) channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler box.

If you do not have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV directly to your TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box, contact your cable TV provider.

To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box:

1Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.

2Connect the other end of the cable to the cable TV wall outlet.

To connect cable TV with a converter/descrambler box:

•Use the following illustration to connect a converter/descrambler box. (The RF switch and the signal splitter are not provided.)

Set the RF switch to the A position to tune to unscrambled channels using your TV remote control. Set the RF switch to the B position to watch scrambled channels using the converter/descrambler controls.

Connecting to an external signal source

You can connect a DVD, VCD, VCR, or STB using a variety of methods, including composite cables, component cables, an S-Video cable, or an HDMI cable. The S-Video cable does not carry sound. If you use an S-Video cable, you need to use audio cables to connect the audio output.

Warning

Make sure that you turn off and unplug your TV before connecting devices.

Note

For better video, use the S-Video jack if your device has an S-Video connection. For best video, use the HDMI jack if your device has an HDMI connection.

To connect an external signal source:

1For composite video—Plug the audio/video cable into the AUDIO L/R and VIDEO IN (7) jacks on the back of your TV, then connect the other ends to the corresponding jacks on the external signal source.

Or

For S-Video—Plug in the audio cables as described above, then plug one end of an S-Video cable into the S-Videojack (3) on the back of your TV, then plug the other end into the S-Videojack on the external signal source.

Or

For component video—Plug the Y, Pb, and Pr video cables and the Audio L and Audio R cables into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN (6) and AUDIO L/R (5) jacks on the back of your TV, then plug the other ends of the cables into the corresponding jacks on the external signal source.
