This television has an extended tuning
range and can tune most cable channels
without using a cable company supplied
converter box. Some cable companies
offer "premium pay channels" in which the
signal is scrambled. Descrambling these
signals for normal viewing requires the use
of a descrambter device which is generally
provided by the cable company.
POWER SOURCE
TO USE AC POWER SOURCE
Use the AC polarized line cord provided for operation on AC. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 120V
60Hz polarized AC outlet.
AC outlet
Wider Hole
Polarized AC Cord Plug
(One blade is wider than the other)
NOTES:
1. Never connect the AC line cord plug to other than
the specified voltage (120V 60Hz).
Use the attached power cord only.
2. If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-
polarized AC outlet, do not attempt to file or cut the
blade. It is the user's responsibility to have an
electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
3. If you cause a static discharge when touching the
unit, and the unit fails to function, simply unplug the
unit from the AC outlet, wait a few minutes, and
plug it back in. The unit should return to normal
operation.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack.If your combination
antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm twin-lead)
Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied). Connect the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm
matching transformer (not supplied). Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.
Separate VHF/UHF Antenna
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied).
Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.
NOTE: if your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied),
then connect the transformer to the combiner.
For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable
directly to the antenna jack on the back of the television.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming
cable to the converter/descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the
television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the converter/descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels
if you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set
coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections
shown left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambted channels on your TV. With
the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4)
and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
