Y our Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm) cable or a converter box installation. In either case, the con- nection to the TV is very easy. Follow the steps below to connect your cable signal to your new television.
If your cable signal comes directly from a round 75 Π coaxial cable use the following steps: 1 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the 75Π input on the TV. Screw it down finger tight. 2 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the AUTOPROGRAM feature to program all the available channels on your cable signal. If your cable signal comes from a cable box, use the following
steps: 3 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box. 4 Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the OUT(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box. 5 Connect the other end of the round coaxial cable to the 75Π input on the back of the television. Screw it down finger tight. 6 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the CABLE option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program all the available channels on your cable signal into the televi- sion’s memory.

A combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan- nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is easy because there is only one 75Π (ohm) antenna plug on the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes. 1 If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the TV. If your antenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300- to 75-ohm adapter. 2 Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the 75Π (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight. 3 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the ANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program all the available channels on your cable signal into the televi- sion’s memory.

continuously measures and corrects all incoming
signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature moni-
tors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise reduction
control.

DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound
playback.

even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or

fortable sound.

programs with certain ratings if you do not want your children to
view inappropriate materials.

and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer-
ences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set con-
trols (Movie, Voice and Threatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound
so as to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

or voice conversations as onscreen text.
