our home’s signal input might come from
a single (75 ohm) round cable, a
Converter Box, or from an antenna. In either
case the connection to the TV is very easy.
1
If your Cable TV signal or
Antenna signal is a round cable
(75 ohm) then you're ready to con-
nect to the TV.
If your antenna has flat twin-
lead wire (300 ohm), you first need
to attach the antenna wires to the
screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
If you have a Cable Converter
Box: Connect the Cable TV signal
to the Cable Signal IN(put) plug on
the Converter.
2
Connect the Cable TV cable or
Antenna cable (or 300 to 75 ohm
adapter) to the 75Ω plug on the TV.
If you have a Cable Converter
Box: Connect the OUT(put) plug
from the Converter to the 75Ω plug
on the TV.
After using the AutoProgram Control,
press the CH + and – buttons to
scroll through all the channels stored
in the television’s memory.

omponent Video inputs provide for the
highest possible color and picture resolu-
tion in the playback of digital signal source
material, such as with DVD players. The
color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the
luminance (Y) signal are connected and
received separately, which allows for
improved color bandwidth information (not
possible when using composite video or S-
Video connections).
1
Connect the Component (Y, Pb,
Pr) Video OUT jacks from the
DVD player (or similar device) to the
(Y, Pb, Pr) in(put) jack on the TV.
When using the Component Video
