Connecting the TV signal sources
The following is an 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, screw it onto the ANT/Cable
In connector on the rear of the TV:
■ A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with
an F-type connector that can easily be attached to
a connector without tools (sold separately).
■ A 300-ohm system is a flat, twin-lead cable that
can be attached to a 75-ohm connector through a
300/75-ohm adapter (sold separately).

Connect the input sources to the TV according to the
type of connection:
■ Antenna or basic cable (TV cable or satellite)
without a separate set-top box; see “Connecting
the cable TV or air broadcast antenna” on
page 10.
■ Cable or satellite with a separate set-top box; see
“Connecting cable or satellite with a set-top box”
on page 11.
Connecting the cable TV or air
broadcast antenna
Use standard 75-ohm coaxial cable to connect a
ground antenna or cable TV input source to the TV. Use
shielded coaxial cable to reduce radio frequency (RF)
interference.
Optional equipment, cable TV service, and all cables
are sold separately.
1 Connect a coaxial cable to the input source.
2 Connect the input source coaxial cable to the
ANT/Cable In connector on the rear of the TV.
