Basic Connections
TV with Cable, Indoor, or Outdoor Antenna
Depending on the cable system available in your home, choose one of the connections below:
Use option A to connect the TV to a cable system or an antenna with a 75-ohm cable.
Use option B to connect the TV to a dipole antenna, also known as a “rabbit ears antenna“.
Connecting Two RF Inputs
If you want to watch RF signals for both antenna (over-the-air) and cable broadcast signals,
you’ll need to use an optional A-B switch for RF inputs (not supplied), as shown below.
Converter EAC-25 is commercially known as a 300-to-75 ohm antenna adapter.
If you are connecting to an indoor or outdoor antenna, you may need to adjust the orientation of the
antenna for the best reception.
For best results, be sure to use an RF switch, as shown above, instead of a simple splitter.
