BASIC TELEVISION CONNECTIONS

CABLE TV

CABLE INPUT/CONVERTER

Your Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm) cable, or a Converter Box installation. In either case the connec- tion to the TV is very easy.

Just put the threaded end of the cable signal to the TV's antenna plug and screw it down tight.

If your Cable TV signal

is a single round cable (75 ohm) then you're ready to con- nect to the TV.

If you have a Cable

Converter Box:

Connect the Cable TV signal to the Cable Signal IN(put) plug on the Converter.

Cable TV Company

Connect the Cable TV cable to

the ANTENNA/CABLE plug on the TV.

If you have a Cable Converter Box:

Connect the OUT(put) plug from the

Converter to the 75Ω plug on the TV.

To select only the channel numbers on your Cable system see “Auto Program" (page 4). If you use a Cable Converter box, set the TV to the same channel as the converter's CH 3/4 switch (on the rear of the converter.)

ANTENNA

COMBINATION UHF/VHF

Acombination antenna receives normal broad-

cast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy since there is only one 75Ω (ohm) antenna plug on the back of your TV - and that’s where the antenna

If your antenna has a

round cable (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin-lead

wire (300 ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the

75Ω plug on the rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

Note: For homes with separate UHF and VHF antennas you will need an optional combiner to connect to the TV.
