Remember: Set the TV for the type signal you've just connected (see the “Tuner” section on page 3 of this Set-Up Guide.)

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 goes.
