our TV has two sepa-

set. These two signal
inputs offer convenient
hook-up options for both
normal TV program view-

(PIP) features.
If your Antenna or Cable TV
signal has a round cable con-
nector (75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it
to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.
If your antenna has flat twin-
lead 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.
Then connect two lengths of RF

The ANT(enna) A input is
intended for use and view-

Note: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon
connection of the ANT B input. 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 sys-
tem, additional external antenna, VCR, or Video Game) could
also be connected and displayed on the TV screen through the
use of the ANT B input.
Note: Although the ANT B input can be used and swapped
as the source for the TV’s Main picture, certain setup fea-
tures (such as Smart Clock) 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 ANT
B input as your TV’s Main screen signal source.
