different from your equipment. If you have questions, refer to the user
manual that came with your equipment.

Connecting the power
To connect the power:
Plug the AC cord into an AC power outlet.
Notes:
Your TV should only be operated from the power source indicated on the
label.
Always unplug the AC power cord from the AC power outlet when you will
not be using your TV for an extended period of time.
Connecting an antenna, cable TV, or
satellite TV box
To connect an antenna, cable TV, or satellite TV box:
1 Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable (not included) to the RF OUT
jack on the antenna or on the cable or satellite TV box.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the RF jack on the back of
your TV.
Notes:
Use a 75 ohm cable to eliminate interference and noise from radio waves.
Do not bundle the 75 ohm cable with the power cord or other cables.
If the antenna is not installed correctly, contact qualified service personnel
to correct the problem.
