Installing the LCD TV
Refer to the owner’s manual of any external equipment to be connected.
When connecting any external equipment, do not connect any AC power cords to wall outlets
until all other connections are completed.
Antenna Connection
The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for a black &
white TV reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna
systems.
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
■ A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-lead cable (not included) that can
be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter
(not included).
Connecting a TV Cable or an Antenna
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
F-type connector
■ A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable (not included) with F-
type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools.

■ The RF switch (not included) is required to provide two inputs (A and B). Setting
the RF switch to position A allows viewing of all unscrambled channels by using
the TV channel keys.
■ Setting the RF switch to position B allows viewing of all scrambled channels via
the converter/descrambler by using the converter channel keys.
■ A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup.
When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, connect the 75-
ohm cable into the ANT. terminal.
■ Some cable TV companies offer premium pay channels. Since the
signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV
converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the
cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of scrambled channels.
For more specifi c instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company.
One possible method of connecting the coverter/descrambler provided by your cable TV
company is shown in the diagram below.
