FIRST TIME USE
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.

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 laser-
disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the
standard video cable to produce a high quality picture.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Connection Cable
This cable is used to connect external devices with
DVI-HDTV output capability.
