Connecting directly to cable or an
antenna
VHF only or VHF/UHF or cable
Also, set “Cable” to “Off” in the
(Channel)
menu (see page 37).
Notes
• It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-
ohm coaxial cable to get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm
twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the
like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm
twin lead cable, keep it away as far as possible from the TV.
• Do not detach the ferrite core from the supplied 75-ohm
coaxial cable.
• The ferrite core is attached to one end of (not the center of) the
supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable. When connecting the cable to
the TV, insert the end with the ferrite core into the VHF/UHF
jack.
Cable box connections
Use this hookup if:
•You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses
scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable
box to view all channels, and
•You do not intend to hook up any other audio or
video equipment to your TV.
1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable
service to the cable box’s IN jack.
2 Using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable,
connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the TV’s
VHF/UHF jack.
Tips
• The supplied remote control can be programmed to operate
your cable box (see “Programming the Remote Control” on
page 16).
• To change channels using the cable box, set your TV to
channel 3 or 4 depending on the cable box channel output.
• If you will be controlling all channel selection through your
cable box, consider using the Channel Fix feature to set your
TV to channel 3 or 4 (see page 38).
