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 adaptor (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 TO REAR JACK PANEL
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 antenna or CATV cable
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 adaptor. 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.
