Notes

•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.

•Do not detach the ferrite core from the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable.

•The ferrite core is attached to one end of (not the center of) the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable. When connecting the cable to the TV, insert the end with the ferrite core into the VHF/UHF jack.

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.

•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 38).
