Basic Cable TV Connection
The Cable TV signal into your home may be a single cable (75 ohm ) or may include a Cable Box. In either case, the
connection to the TV is easy.
If your Cable TV signal comes directly via a 75 ohm coaxial cable, using the following steps:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the 75 ohm ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV. Screw it down tight.
Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV to CATV as detailed on page 11. Refer
to AUTO SEARCH to set up your available TV channels. Details are on page 1ꢀ.
If you have a Cable Box, use the following steps:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the IN jack on the Cable Box.
Connect a separate coaxial cable to the OUT jack on the Cable Box and to the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the
rear of the TV.
Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV to CATV as detailed on page 11.
Set the TV to channel ꢁ or 4 (the same as the channel ꢁ/4 switch on your Cable Box if applicable).
Change channels at the Cable Box.
Helpful Hints
An RF coaxial cable (to con-
nect the Cable Box to the TV)
may be supplied by the Cable
TV company. It is not supplied
with the TV.
You can connect a Satellite
Receiver the same way you
would connect a Cable Box.
Your Cable Box may have
separate Audio and Video Out
jacks. If so, use audio and
video cables to connect the
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks of
the Cable Box to the AUDIO/
VIDEO INPUT jacks.
Press the INPUT button on
the remote control to set the
TV to the correct video input
channel. For front inputs
choose FRNT. For rear AV
inputs choose VIDEO.
Your model has an S-Video
input, choose S-VIDEO.
Change the channel at the
Cable Box.

Basic Antenna Connection
A combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF ꢀ-1ꢁ AND UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy since
you will connect the antenna to the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV.
If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end, then you are ready to connect it to the TV. Go to the next step.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire (ꢁ00 ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a ꢁ00 to
75 ohm adapter (not supplied with your TV).
Push the round end of the adapter or antenna cable onto the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV. If
the round end of the antenna cable is threaded, screw it down tight.
Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV to TV mode as detailed on page 11.
Refer to AUTO SEARCH to set up your available TV channels. Details are on page 1ꢀ.
Before plugging the UHF/VHF Rod Antenna into the
ANTENNA INPUT jack, check that the pin is not bent. If
FCC WARNING -This equipment may generate or use radio
it is bent, straighten the pin as illustrated, then plug the
frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment

may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are

Basic TV to VCR Connection
The basic component (VCR, DVD player etc.) to TV connection is described below. For other hookups, refer to your
component’s instruction manual.
Connect the audio cables (white and red) to the AUDIO INPUT jacks on the TV and to the AUDIO OUT jacks on the
VCR (or other component). Match the cable color to the jack color.
If your component has an S-Video jack, connect an S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO jack on the back of the TV to the
S-Video jack on the component. If your component doesn’t have an S-Video jack go to item ꢁ.
Connect a video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO INPUT jack on the TV and to the VIDEO OUT jack on your VCR (or other
component).
Turn on the TV and the other component.
Press the INPUT button on the remote control until the correct video input channel appears in the upper right corner of
the TV screen. When you play material on the VCR, DVD player, etc. that is connected to the AUDIO and VIDEO jacks
it will appear on the TV on the video input channel. (The bottom of page 4 has a complete list.)

Helpful Hints
S-Video provides a clearer picture than
the standard video (the yellow jack).
Choose the S-VIDEO channel to view
material playing on equipment connected
to the S-VIDEO jack.
Audio and video cables are not supplied
with the TV. Audio cables are usually red
and white. Video cables are usually yellow.
Your VCR may not have Audio and Video
Out jacks, but only an RF or ANTENNA
OUT jack.
Use either the S-VIDEO jack or the VIDEO
INPUT jack. Do not use both at the same
time for the same piece of equipment.
This would interfere with the picture
display. If both are used, S-VIDEO has
priority over the yellow VIDEO INPUT jack.
Use a coaxial cable to connect the VCR’s
ANTENNA OUT jack to the TV’s 75 OHM
ANTENNA INPUT jack.

Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the
cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the
screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. Never use strong cleaning agents,
such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV.
Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or
damage to the TV.
