HOOKUP CAULES 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 cables are the correct length.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an
antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the
antenna jack on the television.
---::D@
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
This connector is usedon camcorders, V CR's and laser
disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the
standardvideocable to producea high quality picture.
1, VHF (75 OHM) ANTENNAJCATV
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.

2. VHF (300 Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna
When using a 300 Ohm twin lead from an outdoor
antenna disconnect the (VHF or UHF) indoor antenna leads
from screws of the (VHF or UHF) adaptor, and connect
outdoor(VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these screws of a
VHF or UHF) adaptor.

Notes:
i1. If an outdoorantenna/CATV is to be used, disconnect
the indoor antenna. Do not leave both the indoor and
outdoorantennas/CATV connected at the same time,
since ghostingand poor reception may result.
2. Consult your dealer or service store for the ANT,MiXER
and (VHF or UHF) adaptor.
3. The special converter (decoder) will be supplied by the
cable company.
