ANTENNA OR

CABLE TV

See the next page for details on connecting a cable con- verter box.

A A B I

Your TV has two separate ANT(enna)/cable inputs

on the back of the set. These two signal inputs offer conven- ient hookup options for both normal TV program viewing and Picture-In-Picture (PIP) features.

The ANT(enna) “A” input is

intended for use and viewing on the TV’s main screen. Your home’s primary antenna or cable TV signal should be con-

TV setup, use, and feature operation.

The PIP ANT(enna) “B”

input is a second, or auxiliary, signal source included for your TV’s Picture-In-Picture (PIP) feature. For many homes, the use of a single existing anten- na or cable TV source for both ANT(enna)“A” and PIP ANT(enna) “B” will be the preferred method of connection (see illustration to the right). This type of connection (optional signal splitter required) will work properly for the TV’s main on-screen features, as well as retain all the features designed for PIP. For more details on PIP, refer to pages 49–52 in the Directions for Use manual that came with your set.

NOTE: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon the connection of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input. The main purpose of the input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for the PIP feature. You can, however, use the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input to connect and display other signal sources such as an outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player.

Although the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input can be used and swapped as the source for the TV’s main picture, certain setup features (such as AutoChron) are based only on your TV’s detecting a signal at the ANT(enna) “A” input. To ensure that all features are operating proper- ly, you may not want to rely solely on the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input as your TV’s main screen signal source.

Because of continuous product improvements, the information mentioned in the documents accompanying your product are subject to change without notice.
