Setting up your TV 7 Connecting an outside antenna Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and 300 ohm. 75 ohm cable 300 ohm cable • If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector, connect the cable to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV. • If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector, connect the cable to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect the adapter to a 75 ohm cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV. Connecting cable TV Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable TV. Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for "premium" (pay) channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler box. If you do not have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV directly to your TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box, contact your cable TV provider. To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box: 1 Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the cable TV wall outlet. To connect cable TV with a converter/descrambler box: • Use the following illustration to connect a converter/descrambler box. (The RF switch and the signal splitter are not provided.) Set the RF switch to the A position to tune to unscrambled channels using your TV remote control. Set the RF switch to the B position to watch scrambled channels using the converter/descrambler controls.
