Connecting the TV signal sources

WARNING: Before connecting the TV to any
other electronic device, unplug the TV and
electronic device AC power cords from the
AC power outlet.
The following is an explanation of the types of
connections that are used for a coaxial cable.
If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable
with an F-type connector, screw it onto the ANT/Cable
In connector on the rear of the TV:
A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with
■
an F-type connector that can easily be attached to
a connector without tools (sold separately).
A 300-ohm system is a flat, twin-lead cable that
■
can be attached to a 75-ohm connector through a
300/75-ohm adapter (sold separately).
An F-type connector should be finger-
tightened only. When connecting the RF
cable to the TV, do not use tools to tighten
the F-type connector, because this may
cause damage to the TV.

Connecting the cable TV or air
broadcast antenna
Use standard 75-ohm coaxial cable to connect a
ground antenna or cable TV input source to the TV. Use
shielded coaxial cable to reduce radio frequency (RF)
interference.
Optional equipment, cable TV service, and all cables
are sold separately.
CAUTION: Unplug power for the TV and all
connected components before connecting
