Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the
TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
Plug the combiner into the “ANT 1 IN” terminal on the rear panel.
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If you do not have a cable system, you will need to connect an antenna to your TV.
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If your antenna looks like this: it has 300-ohm flat
twin leads.
Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on the 300-75 ohm
adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Plug the adapter into the “ANT 1 IN” terminal on the rear panel.
Quick Guide
Connections
Connecting Cable TV and VCR
You can connect different cable systems to your TV, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.
Connecting a Cable Converter Box
This connection allows you to watch cable and premium channels. You should keep your TV selected
to “ANT 1 IN” so that you can use the TV features. When viewing premium channels, select “ANT 2
IN” and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then use the
converter box to change channels. You will need two coaxial cables.
NOTES
• When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you can not program
using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and blocking channels.
• The output from “ANT 1 OUT” is available when select “Ant.2” in the “Antenna“ channel
menu.

Connecting a Cable Converter Box and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch and record basic and premium cable channels,
as well as watch videotapes. You should keep your TV selected to “ANT 1 IN” so
that you can use the TV’s features. When viewing premium channels or recording
with the VCR, select “ANT 2 IN” (whichever channel is vacant in your area), then
use the converter box to change channels.
Caution: If you want to record one channel while watching another channel, a split-
ter (not included) must be added between the cable and “ANT 1 IN”. One output of
the splitter goes to “ANT 1 OUT” and the second output is connected to IN on the
cable converter box.
If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio
cable.
If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-video connections and remove the video cable.
Do not connect the video cable and the S-video cable to video1 simultaneously.
When you use a converter box with your TV there may be features that you can not
program using the remote control, such as programming your favorite channels and
blocking channels.
Locate the A/V output jacks on the camcorder. They are usually found on the side or back of the camcorder.
Connect a set of audio cables between the AUDIO IN jacks on the TV and the AUDIO OUT jacks on the
camcorder. If you have mono camcorder, connect L(mono) to camcorder audio out using only one audio
cable.
Connect a video cable between the VIDEO IN (or S-VIDEO IN) jack on the TV and the VIDEO OUT jack on
the camcorder. The audio-video cables shown here are usually included with a Camcorder. (If not, check
your local electronics store.) If your camcorder is stereo, you need to connect a set of two cables.
