INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1
Antenna/Cable TV
Connection
• You can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna to receive VHF and/or UHF channels.
• Channels 2-13 are VHF channels, and channels 14-69 are UHF channels.
• We recommend using an outdoor antenna for better picture quality.
• You can receive Cable TV by contacting your local cable company.
• Cable TV delivers both VHF and UHF channels and other channels not available to
your antenna.
Types of antenna cables
Shown below are two basic types of antenna cables.
Signals from a home antenna may be conveyed by either type. Cable TV
signals will always be conveyed by a 75 ohm coaxial cable.
@ A 75 ohm coaxial cable is generally a round cable with F-type
connectors that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.
Optional F-type connector
@ A 300 ohm cable is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a
terminal through an antenna adapter supplied as an accessory.

ANT-1 OUT ANT-2
The ANT-1 and ANT-2 terminals are for connecting a VHF/UHF antenna
or a cable TV system. The signal, which is input on the ANT-1, also is
output from the OUT terminal whenever the RF switcher in the TV is in
the ANT-2 position. You can switch between the ANT-1 and ANT-2
positions by pressing the ANT 1/2 button on the Remote Control or the
ANT/VIDEO button on the TV. See page 22.
