CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm coaxial cable to

the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.

Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are

scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.

This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more specific

instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the

converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided

with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV's channel keys.

"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by

using the converter's channel keys.

Note: Consult your Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might be required.

ANTENNAS

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white

television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily

be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm

terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (not supplied).

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor

antenna.

A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.

B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.

Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT. terminal

on the rear of the TV set.
