Note

It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75- ohm coaxial cable to get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like,

resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it away as tar as possible from the TV.

Cable box connections

Use this hookup if:

•You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

•You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your TV.

1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable box's IN jack.

2 Using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the TV's VHF/UHF jack.
