HELP
Connect the twin Output
plugs on the Signal Splitter to
the ANT A and 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).
Connect your Antenna or
Cable TV signal to the single
75 ohm input plug on the two-
way Signal Splitter (optional).
A typical ANT(enna)
A and B connection (using a
common signal source and an
optional Signal Splitter):
Remember,
ANT(ENNA) A & B INPUTS
be sure to set the
TV for the type sig-
nal you've connect-
ed (see "TUNER"
section on page 2 of
this Guide.)
our TV has two sepa-
Yrate ANT(enna)/Cable
inputs on the rear of the
set. These two signal
inputs offer convenient
hook-up options for both
normal TV program view-
ing and Picture-In-Picture
(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
Coaxial Cable to the two Output
plugs on the two-way Signal
Splitter (F-type connector on
both ends).
Your TV can set
itself to select only
the channel numbers
on your Cable sys-
tem (see “Auto
Program" page 2). If
you use a Cable
Converter box, set
the TV to the same
channel as the con-
verter's CH 3/4
switch (on the rear of
the converter.)
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna
The ANT(enna) A input is
intended for use and view-
ing on the TV’s main
screen. Your home’s prima-
ry Antenna, or Cable TV
signal, should be connect-
ed to this input for normal
TV setup, use and feature
operation.

The ANT(enna) B input is
a second, or auxiliary sig-

For many homes the use of
a single existing Antenna

both ANT A and B, will be
the preferred method of
connection. This type of
connection (optional
Signal Splitter required)
will work properly for the

Input
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.
Cable TV Signal
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.
