HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS 10
Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have
phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be
purchased from most stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common
connectors. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the
various components. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal
TV, cable TV (CATV), a TV game, etc.
1. VHF (75 Ohm) antenna/CATV
When using a 75 Ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect the VHF adaptor from the 75-Ohm receptacle and
connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF 75 ohm
receptacle.
2. VHF (300 Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna disconnect the (VHF or UHF) indoor antenna leads
from screws of the (VHF or UHF) adaptor, and connect outdoor (VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these screws of a
(VHF or UHF) adapter.
3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optional ANTENNA MIXER to the TV antenna terminal and connect the cables to the ANTENNA
MIXER.
