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 side 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 laser-
disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the
standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.
Optical Cable
This cable is used to connect to an audio amplifier with
an Optical Audio In jack. Use this cable for the best
sound quality.
IR Mouse Cable/G-LINK Cable (Provided)
Connect the IR Mouse to the IR Blaster output of your
LCD Television when A/V Network is used. You must
place the IR Mouse in front of the corresponding IR
window of your cable box and VCR. This connection

such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with
an HDMI output connection to the TV’s HDMI input.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL
VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect
CATV coaxial cable to the CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal. If
you have an antenna, connect the coaxial cable to the
AIR 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.
