Hook-up Cables And Connectors

Page 6 highlights

FIRST TIME USE 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. 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. "F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television. 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. 12345 6789 D-SUB MINI 9-Pin Cable This cable is used to connect to the RS232C input located on the rear panel so you can control some of your TV functions from an external home control system. HDMI Cable This cable is used to connect your external devices such as SetTop-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection to the TV's HDMI input. 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. USB Cable This cable is used to connect your digital camera to the Photo Input. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV) When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If you have an antenna, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT B terminal. To outdoor antenna or CATV cable To antenna 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 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 From UHF antenna ANT A From outdoor antenna or CATV System Antenna Mixer

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL
VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV)
When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect CATV coaxial cable to the ANT
A (75-Ohm) terminal.
If you have an antenna, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT
B terminal.
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.
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.
