HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
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.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
Phono Connector
Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the
Television's front and rear jack panels.
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television.
S-Video (Super Video) Connector
This connector is used on camcorders, VCR's, and laser disc players with an S-Video feature in
place of the standard video cable to produce a high-quality picture.
