Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that 
look like this, see “Antennas with 
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads”, below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks 
like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm  
Round Leads”, on page 8.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate 
VHF and UHF Antennas”, on page 8.
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has 
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
Chapter Two
INSTALLATION
1Place the wires from
the twin leads under
the screws on a 300-
75 ohm adaptor (not
supplied). Use a
screwdriver to tighten
the screws.

Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
1
Plug the incoming
cable into the TV
ANTENNA terminal
on back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready,
you do not need a cable box to
view unscrambled cable channels.
2
Plug the combiner
into the TV
ANTENNA terminal
on the bottom of
the rear panel.
INSTALLATION
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna
lead into the TV
ANTENNA terminal
on the bottom of the
back panel.
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 a an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1
Connect both antenna
leads to the combiner.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1
Find the cable that is
connected to the
ANTENNA OUT
terminal on your cable

This terminal might be labeled
“ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT”, or
simply, “OUT”.
2
Connect the other end
of this cable to the TV
ANTENNA 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 coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect
the cable that is 
connected to the
ANTENNA 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 a coaxial
cable between an
OUTPUT terminal on
the splitter and the IN
terminal on the cable
box.

Connect a coaxial
cable between the
ANTENNA OUT
terminal on the
cable box and the
B–IN terminal on the
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. 
6Connect the last 
coaxial cable
between the OUT
terminal on the RF
(A/B) switch and the
VHF/UHF terminal
on the rear of the
TV.
INSTALLATION
After you’ve 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.)
