- Cable TV

 

   Connect the cable TV signal to the 

CABLE/ 

   ANTENNA 75

     jack at the bottom of the TV.  

   See page 14 for details on using Autoprogram to store  

   channels in the TV’s memory. 
   

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if  

   the station you are viewing broadcasts stereo sound.

 

- Cable box with RF IN/OUT 

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable IN  

   jack   on the back of the cable box. 

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the 

TO TV

  

   jack on the back of the cable box to the 

CABLE/ 

   ANTENNA 75

     jack   at the bottom of the TV. 

   

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the 

TO  

   TV 

jack. Commonly used labels include

.

• Set the 

OUTPUT CH

 switch   on the cable box to 

CH  

  3 or 4

 (whichever is correct for your cable box), Next,  

  tune the TV to the corresponding channel. Once  

  tuned,change channels using the cable box, not the TV. 

 

Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The 

reason is that the RF output on a cable box - labeled 

TO TV

OUT

 

or 

OUTPUT

 for example - will not send a stereo signal to the tuner 

(VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

 

- Cable box with A/V outputs 

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal   to a signal  

   splitter (not supplied). The signal splitter enables you to avoid  

   having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box.  

   This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.

  Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the 

TO   

  TV

 jack. Commonly used labels include 

OUTPUT

 or 

OUT

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on  

   the signal splitter and to the 

CABLE/ANTENNA 75

   

     jack   on the TV. 
• Connect another coaxial cable (not supplied) to a  

   connector on the signal splitter and to the cable 

IN

 jack    

   on the back of the cable box. 

• Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the 

VIDEO

 and  

   

AUDIO L

 and 

R

 outputs on the back of the cable box  

   and to the 

AV2

 video (labeled 

VIDEO

) and AUDIO  

   (labeled 

and 

R

) jacks   on the back of the TV. 

•  To view programs from your cable box, first press the  

   

AV

 button on the remote control. 

•  Press the cursor down or up buttons until the 

AV2

 signal 

   source is selected. 

•  Press the 

OK

 button to confirm your selection. The 

AV2

  

   input source becomes current for the viewing of cable TV  

   programs through your cable box. 

   

  

Note: If your cable box audio/video outputs do not supply   

  video and stereo audio to the TV, you will need to make the

  connection shown above in “Cable box with 

RF IN/OUT

Watching cable TV programs that don’t 

require the use of a cable box. 

Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal
directly to the TV’s tuner, you can also watch
unscrambled programs by simply tuning to

the desired channel; however, you must first use 

Auto program to store available channels in the 
TV’s memory. (p. 13)

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the 

TV if the station you are viewing broadcasts stereo 
sound.
