Connecting and Setting the TV

Connecting directly to cable or an

antenna

VHF only or VHF/UHF or cable

Note

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.

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.

Also, set “Cable” to “On” in the

(Channel)

menu (see page 36).

Tips

• The supplied remote control can be programmed to operate

your cable box (see “Programming the Remote Control” on

page 14).

• 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 37).
