Installing and Connecting the TV

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

1Hold the lower right (or left) corner of the back cover as illustrated below and pull it towards you. Do the same to the remaining left (or right) corner.

2Hold the bottom edge of the cover with both hands as illustrated and lift upwards.

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.
