Do not mix batteries of different types. Notes Objects between the remote control and the remote control sensor may block the remote control signal. The range of the remote control may be diminished if direct sunlight or other strong light is shining on the remote control sensor. In this case, change the angle of the lighting, move your TV, or operate the remote control closer to the remote control sensor. Setting up your TV Connecting an antenna or cable TV The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for black and white reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna or cable TV is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna systems. 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 AIR/CABLE IN 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. UHF Antenna VHF Antenna Combiner (not included) 300 ohm twin-lead OUT IN 75 ohm coaxial 300 ohm twin-lead Connecting cable TV Your TV has a 75 ohm AIR/CABLE IN 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 AIR/CABLE IN 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.)
