Introduction Connecting your TV Coaxial (antenna) cable Connecting your TV Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV. Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors. Standard stereo A/V cables usually come in sets of three, and are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.
Introduction Connecting a cable converter box Connecting your TV This connection allows you to watch basic and premium cable channels. To use the TV’s features, select ANT-1. To view premium channels, select ANT-2, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), and use the converter box to change channels.
Introduction Connecting a DVD player or satellite receiver and a VCR From antenna Stereo VCR VIDEO AUDIO L R IN IN from ANT OUT to TV CH 3 CH 4 Connecting your TV Note: For the highest possible picture quality from a non-component video DVD player/satellite receiver, use an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite receiver.
