If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector,
connect the cable to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not
included), connect the adapter to a 75 ohm
cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm
connector to the RF jack on the back of your TV.

Use the following illustration to connect an
outside antenna.

Connecting cable TV

Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable
TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals
for “premium” (pay) channels. To view these
channels you need a converter/descrambler
box.
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV directly to your
TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV using an RF
switch (not supplied). For more information
about connecting a converter/descramble box,
contact your cable TV provider.

To connect cable TV without a
converter/descrambler box:
1
Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the RF

jack on the back of your TV.

2 Connect the other end of the cable to the

cable TV wall outlet.

To connect cable TV with a
converter/descrambler box:

Use the following illustration to connect a
converter/descrambler box. (The RF switch
and the signal splitter are not provided.)
Set the RF switch to the A position to watch
unscrambled channels using your TV remote
control. Set the RF switch to the B position to
watch scrambled channels using the
converter/descrambler controls.

Connecting a VCR

You can connect a VCR with a standard
audio/video cable or with a S-Video cable. The
S-Video cable does not carry sound. If you use
an S-Video cable, you need to use an audio
cable to connect sound.

Use the following illustration to connect a VCR to
your TV.

To play the VCR:
1
Turn on your TV.

2 Press the INPUT button one or more times to

select Video (or S-Video if you connected
the VCR to the S-Video jack).

3 Turn on your VCR.

4 Insert a videotape, then press the PLAY

button.
