A combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-
nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is
easy because there is only one 75 Ω (ohm) antenna plug on
the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.
1 If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it 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.
2 Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the
75 Ω (ohm) plug on the bottom of the TV. If the round end
of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

Y our Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm)
cable or use a cable box decoder. In either case the connec-
tion is very simple. Follow the steps below to connect your cable
signal to your new television.
Direct Cable Connections:
This connection will supply Stereo sound to the TV.
1 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the 75 Ω input on the bottom of the TV. Screw
it down finger tight.
Cable Box (w/RF In/Outputs):
This connection will NOT supply Stereo sound to the TV. The sound
from the cable box will be mono.
1 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of
the Cable Box.
2 Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the
OUT(put) (TO TV) plug on the back of the Cable Box.
3 Connect the other end of the round coaxial cable to the
75 Ω input on the bottom of the television. Screw it down fin-
ger tight.
NOTE: Be sure to set the OUTPUT CHANNEL SWITCH on the
back of the cable box to CH 3 or 4, then tune the cable box on the
TV to the corresponding channel. Once tuned, change channels at
the cable box, not the television.
Cable Box (w/Audio/Video Outputs):
This connection will supply Stereo sound to the TV.
1 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of
the Cable Box.
2 Using an RCA type Video Cable, connect one end of the
cable to the Video (yellow) (or ANT, your cable box may be
labeled differently) Out jack on the cable box and the other
end to the Video end of the composite adapter included with
the TV.
3 Using an RCA type Audio Left and Right Cable, connect one
end to the left and right Audio Out L & R jacks (red &
white) on the cable box. Connect the other ends to the Audio
end of the composite adapter cable included with the TV.
Connect the adapter into the AV In jack on the bottom of the
TV.
NOTE: Use the AV+ button and the Number 1 button on the TV
remote control to tune to the AV1 channel for the cable box signal.
Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the television.
Pressing the AV+ button repeatedly will scroll all the AV Input chan-
nels, including the presently tuned channel.
