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 Cable This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm). Phono Cable 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 Cable For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television. S-Video (Super Video) Cable 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. 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. HDMI Cable This cable is used to connect your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection to the TV's HDMI input. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL (75-Ohm) antenna/CATV (Cable TV) When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect Antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the AIR/CABLE (75-Ohm) terminal . or 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.
