HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most audio/video 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 purchased 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 adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-
Ohm).
Phono Connector
Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located
on the TV/VCR Combination's rear jack panel.
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the TV/VCR
Combination.

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.
1. VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect the VHF adapter 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) adapter, and connect outdoor (VHF or UHF)
antenna leads to these screws of a (VHF or UHF) adapter.
3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected
Attach an ANT. MIXER to the TV antenna terminal, and connect the cables to the ANT. MIXER.
