ONTENTS
Y our TV has two separate ANT(enna)/cable inputs on the
rear of the set. These two signal inputs offer convenient
hookup options for both normal TV program viewing and
Picture-In-Picture (PIP) features.
The ANT(enna) A input is intended for use and viewing on
the TV’s main screen. Your home’s primary antenna or cable
TV signal should be connected to this input for normal TV
setup, use, and feature operation.
The PIP ANT(enna) B input is a second, or auxiliary, signal
source designed to supply your TV’s Picture-In-Picture (PIP)
feature. For many homes, the use of a single, existing antenna
or cable TV source for both ANT A and PIP ANT B will be the
preferred method of connection. This type of connection
(optional signal splitter required) will work properly for the
TV’s main onscreen features, as well as retain all the features
designed for PIP. For more details, refer to the Picture-In-
Picture section in your other owner’s manual.
1 A typical ANT(enna) A and PIP ANT B connection (using
a common signal source and an optional signal splitter):
If your antenna or cable TV signal has a round cable con-
nector (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to
the 75-ohm signal splitter.
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 before connecting to the 75-ohm signal
splitter.
2 Connect your Antenna or Cable TV signal to the single,
75-ohm input plug on the two-way signal splitter (optional).
Then connect two lengths of RF coaxial cable to the two out-
put plugs on the two-way signal splitter (F-type connector on
both ends).
3 Connect the twin output plugs on the signal splitter to the
ANT A and PIP ANT B inputs on the rear of the TV. Push the
round connector end of the RF coaxial cable onto the
ANT(enna) plug and screw it down finger tight (if using
threaded cables).
F or homes with cable TV converter descrambler boxes
(with premium/movie channels scrambled), follow the
steps to the right for an alternative ANT A and PIP ANT B
feature hookup. Note that the Cable TV signal will be split
before connection to the converter box (an optional two-
way, 75-ohm signal splitter will be required).
1 Connect your cable TV signal to the single, 75-ohm input
plug on a two-way signal splitter (optional).
2 Connect one end of the RF coaxial cable to each of the
output plugs on the 75-ohm signal splitter. The two lengths
of RF coaxial cable need F-type connectors (screw-on or
push type) for both ends.
3 Connect one of the signal splitter outputs to the input termi-
nal on the Cable TV converter box. Then route another con-
nection from the cable converter output terminal to the ANT
A input on the rear of the TV.
4 Connect the remaining signal splitter output from the
splitter to the PIP ANT B input on the rear of the TV.

NOTE: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon connec-
tion of the PIP ANT B input. The main purpose of the input is to pro-
vide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for use of the PIP fea-
ture. The PIP ANT B input can, however, be used to connect and display
other signal source options such as a satellite dish system, an additional
external antenna, a VCR, or a video game, for example.
NOTE: Although the PIP ANT B input can be used and swapped as
the source for the TV’s main picture, certain setup features (such as
AutoChron™) are based only on a signal being detected at the ANT A
input. To ensure that all features are operating properly, you may not
want to rely solely on the PIP ANT B input as your TV’s main screen
signal source.

Be sure to set the TV for the type signal
to which you've connected. (See the
“Tuner Mode A/B” section on page 3.)
Your TV can set itself to select only the
channel numbers on your cable system
(see “Auto Program" on page 3). If you
use a cable converter box, set the TV to
the same channel as the converter's CH 3/4
switch (on the back of the converter).
