HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
7
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.
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.
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
adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV.
When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV antenna
terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult
your dealer or service store for the antenna mixer.
