CONNECTIONS
FOR YOUR IV'
INPUT
SOURCES
FOR YOUR
TV
Your TV has five input connection areas: ANT/CABLE
1,
ANT/CABLE
2, VIDEO 1 IN, VIDEO 2 IN, and S-
VIDEO 1 IN. (In addition, some models have a sixth input
area on the back of the TV near the top.) These five inputs
allow you to connect five different "signal sources" to your
TV at the same time. The "Signal Source" refers to the
item supplying the picture and sound to your TV.
The most common "signal source" is your outdoor antenna
(or master antenna) or a cable-TV system. This type of sig-
nal is called a radio frequency (RF) source, and is con-
nected to the one of the ANT/CABLE
jacks.
Another common
"signal
source" is the audio and video
(A/V) from a VCR or video disc player. This _q0e of signal
is called base band (basic vicleo and audio'.),and is con-
nected to one of the VIDE() IN connections.
A third "signal source" is the input from a Super-VHS
VCR. If you have a S-VIqS VCR, use the S-Vl[DEO 1 IN
video and audio jacks to connect it to the TV.
To use any of these video!audio input sources, you must ac-
cess the SOURCE
Menu arm select the "source" which cor-
responds to the input jacks 'being used. Refer to the
"SOURCE
MENU" in this operating guide.
STEP 1. MAKE BASIC CONNECTIONS
TO TV
There are four basic hook ups to your TV; outdoor antenna
(or master antenna) with or without VCR, and cable-TV
system with or without VCR. Select the hook up that best
fits your needs. See the following diagrams.
Your connection is made to one of the ANT/CABLE
jacks
on the back of the TV. These jacks accept 75-ohm cable ter-
minated in an F-type male connector. You may want to do
the hook-up yourself, or call a TV service technician, or a
cable company.
