ANTENNA/CABLE TV CONNECTIONS
Combination VHF/UHF antenna (Single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm
twin-lead wire)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF antenna to the
antenna jack.
If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, use the 300-
75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).
Combination VHF/UHF antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm
twin-leads)
Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied). Connect
the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not
supplied). Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner
to the antenna jack.
Separate VHF/UHF antennas
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna
twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach the combiner to the
antenna jack.
NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm
matching transformer (not supplied), then connect the transformer to the
combiner.
For subscribers to basic cable TV service
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, con-
nect the Cable TV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on
the back of the television.
For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service
If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a converter/
descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the converter/
descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on
the back of the television. Follow the connections shown at left. Set the
television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel
3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.
For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable with scrambled
premium channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/
descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter
(sometimes called a “two-set coupler”) and an A/B switch box from the
cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections
shown at left. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune
any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A”
position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable
channels without using a cable company supplied converter box.
Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the
signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing
requires the use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided
by the cable company.

CONNECTION TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the TV is dependent on the model and features
of each component. Check the owner’s manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular
assortment of components.
To view the picture from a VCR, camcorder, or VIDEO game,
you must put the TV in VIDEO mode first. Press TV/VIDEO to
select VIDEO mode. The word “VIDEO1” or “VIDEO2” displays
briefly on-screen. Press TV/VIDEO again to return to TV mode.
