Connecting an outside antenna
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and
300 ohm.
• If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm
connector, connect the cable to the coaxial
jack on the back of your TV.
• If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm
connector, connect the cable to a
300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect
the adapter to a 75 ohm cable, then connect
the other end of the 75 ohm connector to the
coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
Connecting cable TV
Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable
TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals
for “premium” (pay) channels. To view these
channels, you need a converter/descrambler
box.
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV directly to your
TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV using an RF
switch (not supplied). For more information
about connecting a converter/descrambler box,
contact your cable TV provider.
To connect cable TV without a
converter/descrambler box:
1 Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the
coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the
cable TV wall outlet.
To connect cable TV with a
converter/descrambler box:
• Use the following illustration to connect a
converter/descrambler box. (The RF switch
and the signal splitter are not provided.)
Set the RF switch to the A position to tune to
unscrambled channels using your TV remote
control. Set the RF switch to the B position to
watch scrambled channels using the
converter/descrambler controls.
Connecting to an external signal source
You can connect a DVD, VCD, VCR, or STB
using a variety of methods, including composite
cables, component cables, an S-Video cable, or
an HDMI cable. The S-Video cable does not
carry sound. If you use an S-Video cable, you
need to use audio cables to connect the audio
output.
To connect an external signal source:
1 For composite video—Plug the audio/video
cable into the AUDIO L/R and VIDEO IN (7)
jacks on the back of your TV, then connect
the other ends to the corresponding jacks on
the external signal source.
Or
For S-Video—Plug in the audio cables as
described above, then plug one end of an
S-Video cable into the S-Video jack (3) on
the back of your TV, then plug the other end
into the S-Video jack on the external signal
source.
Or
For component video—Plug the Y, Pb, and
Pr video cables and the Audio L and Audio R
cables into the COMPONENT VIDEO IN (6)
and AUDIO L/R (5) jacks on the back of your
TV, then plug the other ends of the cables
into the corresponding jacks on the external
signal source.

use the HDMI jack if your device has an HDMI
connection.
