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

coaxial

cable use the following steps:

Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-

plied cable

to the 75

input on the TV. Screw it down finger

tight.

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:

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.

Using a separate round coaxial cable,

connect one end to the

OUT(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box.

Connect the other end of the round coaxial cable

to the

input on the back of the television. Screw it down finger

tight.

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.

combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-

nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is

easy because there is only one 75

(ohm) antenna plug on

the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

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.

Push the round end

of the adapter (or antenna) onto the

(ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of

the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

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.

signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature moni-

tors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise reduction

control.

allows direct connections with VCRs,

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

playback.

and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer-

ences through the onscreen Sound menu. The four factory-set con-

trols (Speech, Movie, Music, and Multimedia) enable you to tailor

the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you are

watching.

allows you to add or delete channels from the list

stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or

expand the number of channels that are available to you when you

press the Channel (+) or (–) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning

allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue

or voice conversations as onscreen text.

trolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and

satellite receivers.

ting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or
