plied cable to the 75

Ω

tight.

2

Plug the television into the wall outlet and turn the TV on.

Refer to the AUTOPROGRAM feature to program all the
available channels on your cable signal.

If your cable signal comes from a cable box, use the following
steps:

3

plied cable to the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of
the Cable Box.

4

Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the

combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-
nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is

easy because there is only one 75

Ω

(ohm) antenna plug on

the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

1

If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,

then you're ready to connect it to the TV.
If your antenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you
first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a
300- to 75-ohm adapter.

2

Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the

75

Ω

(ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of

the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

3

Plug the television into the wall outlet and turn the TV

on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on
page 4 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the
ANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program
all the available channels on your cable signal into the televi-
sion’s memory.
