HOOKUP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have
phono connectors.
For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be pur-
chased from most stores that sell audio/video products.
Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.
Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components.
Also make sure the cabtes are the correct length.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoorantenna cable must be connectedto an
antennaadapter (300-Ohmto 75-Ohm).
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the
antenna jack on the television.
@
Phono Connector
Used on all standard video and audio cables which con-
nect to inputs and outputs located on the Television's
rear jack panel and front control panel.
S-Video (Super Video) Connector
Thisconnector is used on camcorders, V CR's and laser
disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the
standardvideocable to producea highqualitypicture.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal TV,
cable TV (CATV),
a TV game,
etc.
_. VHF (75 OHM) ANTENNA/CATV
When using a 75 Ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect
the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75 Ohm receptacle
and
connect
the outdoor
antenna or CATV cable to a VHF
75 Ohm receptacle.
