Note that the Cable TV signal will be split before connection to the converter box (an optional two-way, 75-ohm signal splitter will be required). CABLE BOX CABLE CONVERTER BOXES Connect your cable TV signal to the single, 75-ohm input plug on a two-way signal splitter (optional). Connect one end of the RF coaxial cable to each of the output plugs on the 75-ohm signal splitter. The two lengths of RF coaxial cable need Ftype connectors (screw-on or push type) for both ends. Round Cable 75. (Ohm) Cable TV Company Cable TV Signal Connect one of the signal splitter outputs to the input terminal on the Cable TV converter box. Then route another connection from the cable converter output terminal to the ANT A input on the rear of the TV. Your TV has two separate ANT(enna)/cable inputs on the rear of the set. These two signal inputs offer convenient hookup options for both normal TV program viewing and Picture-In-Picture (PIP) features. The ANT(enna) A input is intended for use and viewing on the TV’s main screen. Your home’s primary antenna or cable TV signal should be connected to this input for normal TV setup, use, and feature operation. The PIP ANT(enna) B input is a second, or auxiliary, signal source designed to supply your TV’s Picture-In-Picture (PIP) feature. For many homes, the use of a single, existing antenna or cable TV source for both ANT A and PIP ANT B will be the preferred method of connection. This type of connection (optional signal splitter required) will work properly for the TV’s main onscreen features, as well as retain all the features designed for PIP. For more details, refer to the Picture- In-Picture section in your other owner’s manual. ANTENNA OR CABLE TV ANT(ENNA) A & B INPUTS Remember, be sure to set the TV for the type signal to which you've connected. (See the “Tuner Mode A/B” section on page 3.) Your TV can set itself to select only the channel numbers on your cable system (see “Auto Program" on page 3). If you use a cable converter box, set the TV to the same channel as the converter's CH 3/4 switch (on the back of the converter). Contact your dealer, or call our Parts Information Center at 1-800-851-8885 to order the following accessories: • Two-way signal splitter • 300. (ohm) to 75. (ohm) adapter • Combination VHF/UHF antenna. SMART A typical ANT(enna) HELP A and PIP ANT B connection (using a common signal source and an optional signal splitter): If your antenna or cable TV signal has a round cable connector (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the 75-ohm signal splitter. If your antenna has flat, twinlead wire (300 ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300- to 75- ohm adapter before connecting to the 75-ohm signal splitter. Connect your Antenna or Cable TV signal to the single, 75-ohm input plug on the twoway signal splitter (optional). Then connect two lengths of RF coaxial cable to the two output plugs on the two-way signal splitter (F-type connector on both ends). 300. (Ohm) to 75. (Ohm) Adapter Twin–lead Wire Back of TV Round Cable 75. (Ohm) - Outdoor or Indoor Antenna - Receives normal broadcast channels 2–13 (VHF) and 14–69 (UHF). OR NOTE: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon connection of the PIPANT B input. The main purpose of the input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for use of the PIP feature. The PIP ANT B input can, however, be used to connect and display other signal source options such as a satellite dish system, an additional external antenna, a VCR, or a video game, for example. NOTE: Although the PIPANT B input can be used and swapped as the source for the TV’s main picture, certain setup features (such as AutoChron™) are based only on a signal being detected at the ANT A input. To ensure that all features are operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on the PIP ANT B input as your TV’s main screen signal source. Connect the twin output plugs on the signal splitter to the ANT A and PIP ANT B inputs on the rear of the TV. Push the round connector end of the RF coaxial cable onto the ANT(enna) plug and screw it down tightly (if using threaded cables). OPTIONAL T...
