Antenna Connections - Sharp 13VT-CR10 Operation Manual

Antenna Connections

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
ADAPTOR (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 antenna.
• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the TV set.

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 COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.
• 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. (Place your TV on channel 3 or 4, typically one of these
channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) 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: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.
"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's channel keys.
"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler using
RF switch (not supplied)
Note:
• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might be required.
