_you are new to making TV hookups, you may want to read
A[ this section. (The cables and connectors discussed are not sup-
plied with your set. You can buy them at most stores that sell
audio or video produets. Or call our Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039.)
This publication provides you with examples of basic connections.
See pages 617 in the Directions jbr Use manualjbr more injbr-
mation on connections, along with connection examples.
A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals
from an antenna or a cable TV company
to the antenna jack on the back oflhe TV.
Coaxial cables use "F" connectors.
A two-way signal splitter enables you to
take a single antenna or cable TV signal
and supply it to two different inputs.
A 300- to 75-ohm twin-lead
adapter accepts the antenna
cables (called twin-lead wires)
from an antenna, allowing you
to connect the antenna signal to
the TV.
Video and audio cables
with standard RCA
(phonO)acks of connectors con- ._,@
nect the video and audio
j accessory o_
devices such as VCRs
and DVD players to the @ c:_-_
jacks on the TV.
To simplify making connections, the connectors
are usually color coded. The jacks on your TV are
likewise color coded to match the colors of the
connectors. The coding is as follows: yellow for
video (composite) and red and white for the right
and left audio channels, respectively. Use an audio
cable with a white connector when making mono,
or nonstereo, connections. The connectors of
video cables used to connect component video or
RGB (high-resolution)jacks are often color coded
red, green, and blue. Component video connec-
tions provide you with the highest possible color
and piclure resolution.
An S-Video cable connects O
devices such as DVD players,
VCRs, or camcorders to your
TV. S-Video provides better picture performance
than regular (composite) video connections.
S-Video cables can be used only with S-Video-
compatible accessory devices. You must also con-
nect the left and right audio cables along with S-
Video because the S-Video jack carries only the
picture signal, not the sound.

Connect the Cable TV or antenna signal to the
ANTENNA IN 75_ jack on the rear of the TV.
NOTE: If you are using an antenna with a round coaxial
cable (75_), then you are ready to connect to the back of
the TV. If your antenna has a flat, twin-lead wire (300_),
you must first attach the antenna wires on a 300- to 75-
ohm adapter. Then push the round end of the adapter onto
the ANTENNA IN 75_ jack on the rear of the TV.
Insert the TV's power plug into the wall power outlet.
