8 Setting up your TV
Caution
Do not expose the remote control to liquids, direct sunlight, or shock.
Do not mix batteries of different types.
Notes
Objects between the remote control and the remote control sensor may
block the remote control signal.
The range of the remote control may be diminished if direct sunlight or
other strong light is shining on the remote control sensor. In this case,
change the angle of the lighting, move your TV, or operate the remote
control closer to the remote control sensor.
Setting up your TV
Connecting an antenna or cable TV
The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more
important than those for black and white reception. For this reason, a
good quality outdoor antenna or cable TV is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is
provided with the various antenna systems.
Connecting an outside antenna
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and 300 ohm.
• If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector, connect the cable
to the coaxial AIR/CABLE IN jack on the back of your TV.
• If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector, connect the cable
to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect the adapter to a
75 ohm cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm
connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
Connecting cable TV
Your TV has a 75 ohm AIR/CABLE IN jack for connecting cable TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for “premium” (pay)
channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler
box.
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your
cable TV directly to your TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For
more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box,
contact your cable TV provider.
To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box:
1 Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the AIR/CABLE IN jack on
the back of your TV.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the cable TV wall outlet.
To connect cable TV with a converter/descrambler box:
• Use the following illustration to connect a converter/descrambler
box. (The RF switch and the signal splitter are not provided.)
