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 Antenna or Cable Connections:
If your signal comes from an outside antenna or a single
round 75
Ω cable from your cable company:
1 If using an antenna, connect the cable from the antenna to
the Input on a Signal Splitter (not supplied).
If using a single round 75 Ω cable supplied from your
Cable Company, connect the end of the cable to the Input on
an optional Signal Splitter (not supplied) and screw it down
finger tight.
2 Using two other round 75 Ω cables (not supplied) connect
one end of the first cable to one of the outputs on the optional
Signal Splitter. Connect one end of the second round 75
Ω
cable to the second output on the optional Signal Splitter.
3 Connect the open end of the first cable to the ANT A 75 Ω
Input located on the back of the TV. Connect the open end of
the second cable to the ANT B 75
Ω Input located on the back
of the TV.
Cable Box Connections:
If your signal comes from a cable company and you use a sup-
plied Cable Box with signal Input/Output Jacks:
(This connection will NOT supply Stereo sound to the TV. The

plied cable to Input Jack on an optional Signal Splitter (not
supplied).
2 Using two other round 75 Ω cables (not supplied) connect
one end of the first cable to one of the outputs on the optional

NOTE: Be sure to set the OUTPUT CHANNEL SWITCH on the

TV to the corresponding channel. Once tuned, change channels at
the cable box, not the television.

This connection will supply Stereo sound to the TV.
1 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to Input Jack on an optional Signal Splitter (not
supplied).
2 Using two other round 75 Ω cables (not supplied) connect one
end of the first cable to one of the outputs on the optional

Ω
cable to the second output on the optional Signal Splitter.
3 Connect the open end from one of the round 75 Ω cables
coming from the Splitter to the (Cable) Input on the Cable Box.

ly) Out jack on the cable box and the other end to the AV1
