HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS Most video/audio 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 and the length of each cable. FIRST TIME USE 300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm). Phono Connector Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the television's rear jack panel and front control panel. IEEE1394 Cable This cable is used to connect your digital television to external digital devices. S-Video (Super Video) Connector This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs and laser- disc players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Connection Cable This cable is used to connect external devices with DVI-HDTV output capability. Optical Cable This cable is used to connect to an audio amplifier with an Optical Audio In jack. Use this cable for the best sound quality. "F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV) When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If you have a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT B terminal. To outdoor antenna or CATV cable To third antenna or cable system To receive HDTV programs via the outdoor antenna or an un-encrypted digital Cable connection, connect to ANT C (DTV). VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna, connect the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV. To second antenna or cable system To outdoor VHF or UHF antenna When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV antenna terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult your dealer or service store for the antenna mixer. 6 ANT A/ANT B From UHF antenna From outdoor antenna or CATV System Antenna Mixer
