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). ''F'' Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television. 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. S-Video (Super Video) Connector This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture. Antenna Connections These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal TV, cable TV (CATV), a TV game, etc. 1. 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 or CATV cable 75 Ohm Coaxial Cable VHF/UHF (disconnect) VHF Adaptor 3. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected Attach an optional ANTENNA MIXER to the TV antenna terminal and connect the cables to the ANTENNA MIXER. (Rear of TV set) To UHF Antenna VHF/UHF To outdoor VHF Antenna ANTENNA MIXER 2. VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/UHF antenna When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna disconnect the (VHF or UHF) indoor antenna leads from screws of the (VHF or UHF) adaptor and connect outdoor (VHF or UHF) antenna leads to these screws of a (VHF of UHF) adaptor. To outdoor VHF or UHF Antenna (connect) VHF Adaptor 8 Notes: 1. If an outdoor antenna/CATV is used, disconnect the indoor antenna. Ghosting and poor reception may result if both the indoor and outdoor antennas/CATV are connected at the same time. 2. Consult your dealer or service store for the ANTENNA MIXER and (VHF or UHF) adaptor. 3. The special converter (decoder) will be supplied by the cable company.
