Connecting your home 
theater system
Connecting antenna or cable TV to the 
home theater system
To connect the antenna or cable TV to your 
home theater system:
1 Disconnect the antenna or cable TV leads 
from the back of your television.
2 Identify the type of cable from your antenna
or cable TV. If it is a round cable as 
illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial antenna 
cable. This cable connects directly to the jack 
marked ANTENNA/CABLE IN on your home 
theater system.
Connecting without a cable box
If your cable wire is connected to your television 
without a converter or descrambler box, unscrew 
the wire from your television and attach it to the 
ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack on the home theater 
system. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to 
connect between the home theater system’s 
ANTENNA/CABLE OUT jack and the 75 ohm 
antenna input jack on the television. With this 
connection, you can receive all midband, super 
band, and hyperband channels.
Connecting with a cable box
If a cable converter box is required in your cable 
system, follow these instructions. This cable 
hookup permits both television and home 
theater system operation.
To view or record CATV channels:
1 Tune the television to the home theater 
system output channel (CH 3 or 4).
2 Set the home theater system channel
selector to the output channel of the cable 
converter box by using the 
or
on your
home theater system. (Example: CH3)
3 Select the channel to view or record at the
cable converter box.

Depending on your television and other equipment you 
want to connect, there are various ways to connect the 
home theater system. Use connections described on 
page 7 through page 9.
•
Refer to your television, VCR, and Stereo System manuals 
to make the best connections.
•
Make sure that the home theater system is connected 
directly to the television. Tune the television to the correct 
video input channel.
•
Do not connect your home theater system through another 
VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy 
protection system.
Note
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it 
to an antenna adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied) and 
plug the adapter onto the ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack. The 
adapter does not screw onto the jack, it just plugs over it.
Note
During DVD or VCR playback, the home theater system is 
designed so that sound is heard only from the home theater 
system’s five speakers and subwoofer. No sound output is 
provided to the television if it is connected to the MONITOR 
OUT jack on the home theater system with optional cables.
Note
•
With this connection, you cannot record one program while 
viewing another.
•
If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not 
necessary to complete Auto Channel Programming as 
indicated on page 12.
