Connecting an Antenna If your antenna ends in a single coaxial lead, simply press or screw the cable onto the antenna terminal on the back of your TV. If your antenna ends in a pair of 300 ohm twin leads, you must use a 300-ohm/75-ohm adapter(available at your local electronics store). Place the leads underneath the screws on the adapter, tighten the screws, then press the adapter onto the antenna terminal on the back of the TV. 6 Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV If your cable system requires you to use a converter box for all channels, connect the incoming cable to the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another cable between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the antenna terminal on the TV. You will need to keep your TV tuned to channel 3 or 4 and change channels using the converter box. If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i. e. pay-TV channels), follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug this cable into a splitter (available at your local electronics store). Connect one coaxial cable between one OUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another coaxial cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the B-IN terminal on an A/B switch (available at your local electronics store.) Connect a third coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the A-IN terminal on the A/B switch. Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the A/B switch and the antenna terminal on the back of your TV. When the A/B switch is in the A position, you need to change channels on the converter box (and your TV should be tuned to channel 3 or 4); when the A/B switch is in the B position you can change channels on the TV. Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of equipment to your TV. We recommend that you follow the instructions included with the piece of equipment you wish to connect. Safety Note If you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time, or if a thunderstorm is approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to disconnect your TV from a rooftop or satellite antenna. You do not need to disconnect your TV from a cable system. 8 Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV Changing Channels You can change channels in three ways: 1 1 The WCHV buttons will take you through all memorized channels, one by one.
