CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup.
When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the
COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.
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 the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, as typically one of these
channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of
utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.)
"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied)
You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's channel keys.
"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied)
You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler using the converter's
channel keys.
NOTE : An RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

ANTENNA CONNECTION
ANTENNA
The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those
for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is
strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various
antenna systems:
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A : Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B : Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.
Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear
of the TV set.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable
with F-type connector that can easily be
attached to a terminal without tools.
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable
that can be attached to a 75 ohm terminal
through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR.
