Connecting your TV to a power outlet

To connect your TV to a power outlet:
• Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
Notes
• Make sure that you use the correct type of
power. See the label on your TV.
• If you do not intend to use your TV for an
extended period of time, unplug the power cord
from the power outlet.

Connecting an outside antenna

Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and
300 ohm.
75 ohm cable
300 ohm cable
• If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm
connector, connect the cable to the coaxial
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 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
coaxial 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.)
