Basic Connections (Connecting Cable TV or an Antenna)

When connecting an antenna or cables, remove the rear cover of the TV beforehand.

Removing the rear cover

1 Slide the rear cover upward by approx. 1 cm (13/32 inch) while holding it with both hands as shown in the diagram below.

2 Pull the rear cover towards you.

Installing and Connecting the TV

Connecting directly to cable or an antenna

VHF only or VHF/UHF or cable

75-ohm coaxial Rear of TV cable (supplied)

VHF/UHF

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 far 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.

Attaching the rear cover

1 Hold the rear cover with both hands, then fit the four detents on the rear cover into the corresponding keyholes on the TV while keeping the rear cover approx. 1 cm (13/32 inch) higher than the TV as shown in the diagram below.

Tips

•Your Sony remote control can be programmed to operate your cable box (See “Programming the remote control” on page 31).

•To change channels using the cable box, set your TV to channel 3 or 4 depending on the cable box channel output.

•If you will be controlling all channel selection through your cable box, consider using the Channel Fix feature to set your TV to channel 3 or 4 (See page 21).
