on back of TV
75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).
Combination VHF/UHF antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm
twin-leads)

To ANT input
For subscribers to basic cable TV service
on back of TV
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, con-
nect the Cable TV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on
the back of the television.
For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service
If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a converter/
descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the converter/
descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on
the back of the television. Follow the connections shown at left. Set the
television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel
To ANT input
on back of TV 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.
For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable with scrambled
COMBINER
premium channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/
descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter
(sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B switch box from the
To ANT input
cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections
on back of TV
shown at left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune
any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A"
To ANT input
position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box
on back of TV
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable
channels without using a cable company supplied converter box.
To ANT input
Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the
on back of TV
A B signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing
requires the use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided
by the cable company.
2. To connect the TV to a VIDEO Game
The TV also can be used as a display device for many video games.
However, due to the wide variety of different types of signal generated
by these devices and subsequent hook-up variations required, they
have not all been included in the suggested connection diagrams.
