Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal

CAUTION!

- When connecting, ensure that the TV is switched off.

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems. (See page E10 for information on removing/replacing the terminal cover.)

F-type connector

1.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (commercially available).

2.A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (commercially available).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

Notes:

-The 75-ohm coaxial cable is recommended.

-When you first receive this TV, it has no memory of any channels. To receive channels, perform the EZ Setup (see page E20) after the first power-on, or use "CH Setup" in the Setup menu (see pages E32 and E33).

Outdoor antenna connection

-Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.

A:Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.

B:Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.

-Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the antenna input terminal (ANT-IN) on the right side of the TV.

CAUTION!

-When connecting the coaxial cable to the TV, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
