HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono
connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most
stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors. Before purchasing any cables,
be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components and the length of each cable.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna
adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
Phono Connector
Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to
inputs and outputs located on the television s rear jack panel and
front control panel.
’’F’’ Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the
antenna jack on the television.
S-Video (Super Video) Connector
This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc
players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard
video cable to produce a high quality picture.
1. VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect
the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT
A (75-Ohm) terminal. If you have a second antenna or
cable TV system, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT
B terminal.
2. VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor
antenna disconnect the (VHF or UHF) indoor antenna
leads from screws of the (VHF or UHF) adaptor and
connect outdoor (VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these
screws of a (VHF of UHF) adaptor.
3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optional ANTENNA MIXER to the TV
antenna terminal and connect the cables to the
ANTENNA MIXER.
Notes:
1. If an outdoor antenna/CATV is used, disconnect the
indoor antenna. Ghosting and poor reception may
result if both the indoor and outdoor antennas/CATV
are connected at the same time.
2. Consult your dealer or service store for the
ANTENNA MIXER and (VHF or UHF) adaptor.
3. The special converter (decoder) will be supplied by
the cable company.
