Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an air antenna(such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has 300 Ω twin flat
leads, follow the directions below.
1
Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Ω adapter(not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV(one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the
two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an
optional combiner-adaptor(available at most electronics shops).
1
Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2
Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Connecting Cable TV
Cable without a Cable Box
1
Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
➢
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable
channels.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1
Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
➢
This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply, “OUT”.
2
Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels(such as premium channels), follow the
instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of Antenna cable.
(These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT
IN terminal on your cable box.
➢
This terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or
simply, “IN”.
2
Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3
Connect an Antenna cable between an OUT terminal on the
splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4
Connect an Antenna cable between the ANT OUT terminal
on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the RF(A/B)
switch.
5
Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on
the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6
Connect the last Antenna cable between the OUT terminal on
the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN terminal on the back of
the TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A”
position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position
to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B”,
you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel,
which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
