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 adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna
Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable
TV) to the antenna jack on the television.
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.
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.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL
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.
To outdoor antenna or CATV cable
VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna. connect the VHF or UHF antenna
leads to screws of the VHF or UHF adaptor. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the
TV.
