							Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections 
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, 
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type 
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal 
without tools (Commercially available).
F-type connector
300-ohm twin-lead cable ( at) F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
75-ohm coaxial cableNOTICE
2. A 300-ohm system is a  at “twin-lead” cable that can be 
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm 
adapter (Commercially available).
F-type connector should be  nger-
tightened only.
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not 
tighten F-type connector with tools. 
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV 
set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

Cautions regarding the remote control unit
 Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote 
control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.

under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or 
the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.

Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature 
allows a TV station to broadcast other information, 
which could be audio in another language or something 
completely different like weather information. 
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP 
broadcasts where available.
Stereo broadcasts
  View programs like live sporting events, shows and 
concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
SAP broadcasts
