NOTE: This Quick Use Guide may be used with other models. Some of the features listed may or may not apply to your TV. ANTENNA OR CABLE TV ANT(ENNA) A & B INPUTS BEGIN Y our TV has two separate ANT(enna)/Cable inputs on the rear of the set. These two signal inputs offer convenient hook-up 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. A typical ANT(enna) 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 75ohm 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 75ohm Signal Splitter. 300 to 75 Adapter Twin Lead Wire OR 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). 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 tight (if using threaded cables). SMART HELP Remember, be sure to set the TV for the type signal you've connected (see "TUNER" section on page 3 of this Guide.) Your TV can set itself to select only the channel numbers on your Cable system (see "Auto Program" 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 rear of the converter.) To order accessories such as those listed below contact your dealer: · Two Way Splitter · 300-75 ohm Adapter Combination VHF/UHF Antenna Back of TV - Outdoor or Indoor Antenna receives normal broadcast channels 2-13 (VHF) and 14-69 (UHF). Round Cable 75 Ohm 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 PictureIn-Picture section in your other owner's manual. 8 ATTENTION - TO AVOID DAMAGE 1.

Its main purpose is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for PIP feature use. Other signal source options (such as a satellite dish system, additional external antenna, VCR, or Video Game) could also be connected and displayed on the TV screen through the use of the PIP ANT B input. Note: Although the PIP ANT B input can be used and swapped as the source for the TV's Main picture, certain setup features (such as ATUO CHRON) are only based 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. Cable TV Signal Round Cable 75 Ohm Cable TV Company CABLE BOX CABLE CONVERTER BOXES F or homes with Cable TV Converter Descrambler Boxes (with Premium/Movie Channels scrambled), follow the steps to the right for an alternative ANT A and PIP ANT B feature hookup. Note the Cable TV signal will be split before connection to the Converter box (an optional two-way 75 ohm Signal Splitter will be required). · The signal routed to the TV's ANT A input will allow for Premium/Movie channels to be viewable on the TV. · Channel selection will be at the Converter. · The ANT A input channel on the TV should be set to the same output channel as the Converter box (usually CH3 or 4). Connect to ANT A Input Connect to PIP ANT B Input IN OUT · The signal routed to the TV's PIP ANT B input will allow for the selection and viewing of Cable channels at the TV (except for the scrambled Premium/Movie channels). Cable TV Company OPTIONAL TWO-WAY SIGNAL SPLITTER Cable TV Converter Box Connection BEGIN Connect your Cable TV signal to the single 75 ohm INPUT plug on a two-way Signal Splitter (optional). Connect one end of 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. 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. Connect the remaining Signal Splitter OUTPUT from the Splitter to the PIP ANT B Input on the rear of the TV. 1 TV AND REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION TELEVISION BEGIN Press the POWER button to turn the TV ON.
