CONNECTIONS FOR YOUR TV
INPUT SOURCES FOR YOUR TV
Your TV has five input connection areas: ANT/CABLE 1,
ANT/CABLE 2, VIDEO 1 IN, VIDEO 2 IN, and S-
VIDEO 1 IN. (In addition, some models have a sixth input
area on the front of the TV.) These five inputs allow you to
connect five different "signal sources" to your TV at the
same time. The "Signal Source" refers to the item supply-
ing the picture and sound to your TV.
The most common "signal source" is your outdoor antenna
(or master antenna) or a cable-TV system. This type of sig-
nal is called a radio frequency (RF) source, and is con-
netted to the one of the ANT/CABLE jacks.
Another common "signal source" is the audio and video
(A/V) from a VCR or video disc player. This type of signal
is called base band (basic video and audio), and is con-
nected to one of the VIDEO IN connections.
A third "signal source" is the input from a Super-VHS
VCR. If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-VIDEO 1 IN
video and audio jacks to connect it to the TV.
To use any of these video/audio input sources, you must ac-
cess the SOURCE Menu and select the "source" which cor-
responds to the input jacks being used. Refer to the
"SOURCE MENU" in this operating guide.
STEP 1. MAKE BASIC CONNECTIONS TO TV
There are four basic hook ups to your TV; outdoor antenna
(or master antenna) with or without VCR, and cable-TV
system with or without VCR. Select the hook up that best
fits your needs. See the following diagrams.
Your connection is made to one of the ANT/CABLE jacks
on the back of the TV. These jacks accept 75-ohm cable ter-
minated in an F-type male connector. You may want to do
the hook-up yourself, or call a TV service technician, or a
cable company.
A. Antenna Connection to TV
If You Have a Round Antenna Wire:
Connect the 75-ohm round antenna wire to either
the ANT/CABLE 1 or ANT/CABLE 2 jack on the
TV.
If You Have a Flat, Twin-Lead Antenna Wire:
Use the 300/75 ohm adapter included with the TV.
Attach the ends of the wire to the adapter and plug
it into either the ANT/CABLE 1 or the
ANT/CABLE 2 jack.

B. Antenna Connection to VCR and TV
1. Antenna Hook Up
Connect the 75-ohm round antenna wire into
ANTENNA IN jack on your VCR.
2. VCR Hook Up
Connect the ANTENNA OUT wire from VCR
into either the ANT/CABLE 1 or the
ANT/CABLE 2 jack on the TV.
NOTE: For connections A and B, the antenna may
be connected into the ANT/CABLE 2 jack, how-
ever, connecting to the ANT/CABLE 1 jack may
produce a better picture in weak signal areas.
