steps to the right for an

INPUT plug on a two-way
Signal Splitter (optional).

Connect one end of 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.

Connect one of the Signal

Splitter OUTPUTs to the
INput terminal on the Cable
TV Converter Box. Then route
another connection from the
Cable Converter OUTput ter-
minal to the ANT A Input on
the rear of the TV.

our TV has two sepa-
rate ANT(enna)/Cable

inputs on the rear of the
set. These two signal
inputs offer convenient
hook-up options for both
normal TV program view-
ing and Picture-In-Picture
(PIP) features.

The ANT(enna) A input is
intended for use and view-
ing on the TV’s main
screen. Your home’s prima-
ry Antenna, or Cable TV
signal, should be connect-
ed to this input for normal
TV setup, use and feature
operation.

The PIP ANT(enna) B
input is a second, or auxil-
iary 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 con-
nection. This type of con-
nection (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.

Remember,
be sure to set the
TV for the type sig-
nal you've connect-
ed (see "TUNER"
section on page 3 of
this Guide.)

Your TV can set
itself to select only
the channel numbers
on your Cable sys-
tem (see “Auto
Program" page 3). If
you use a Cable
Converter box, set
the TV to the same
channel as the con-
verter's CH 3/4
switch (on the rear of
the converter.)

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 75ohm 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 75ohm Signal Splitter.

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 Output
plugs on the two-way Signal
Splitter (F-type connector on
both ends).

2-13 (VHF) and 14-69 (UHF).

Note: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon
connection of the PIP ANT B input. Its main purpose is to
provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for PIP
feature use. Other signal source options (such as a satellite dish
system, additional external antenna, VCR, or Video Game)
could also be connected and displayed on the TV screen
through the use of the PIP ANT B input.

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 ATUO CHRON) are only based on a
signal being detected at the ANT A input. To ensure that all fea-
tures are operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on
the PIP ANT B input as your TV’s Main screen signal source.

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 tight (if using threaded
cables).
