HOOKUP CABLES 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 rear jack panel and front control panel. AUDIO OUT 3.8mm STEREO MINI-PLUG 2 RCA TYPE PLUGS Stereo Cable (3.5 mm plug to 3.5 mm plug) This cable is used to connect from external audio out to the audio input of the AVC Center (ex. RGB 1/2 Input). "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 laserdisc players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture. 54321 10 9 8 7 6 15 14 13 12 11 D-SUB MINI 15-Pin Cable This cable is used to connect a computer output to the D-SUB input located on the rear panel of the AVC Center. The resolution should be set to correctly to display the signal on the Plasma Television. IR Mouse Cable (Provided) Connect the IR Mouse to the IR ouput on your AVC center when A/V Network is used. You must place the IR mouse in front of the corresponding IR window of your cable box and VCR. This connection allows your TV to control your cable box and VCR. Monitor Conection Cable (Provided) This cable is used to connect the Display Monitor to the AVC Center. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL To outdoor antenna or CATV cable 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. 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. To UHF ANT A/ANT B Antenna To outdoor antenna or CATV system Antenna mixer 8
