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 ANT B PIP feature hookup. Note the Cable TV signal will be split before connection to the Converter box (an option- al 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 RF Coaxial Cable to each of the OUTPUT plugs on the 75 ohm Signal Splitter. The two lengths of RF Coaxial Cable need F- type connectors (screw-on or push type) for both ends. 2 BEGIN 1 Round Cable 75ΩOhm 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 ter- minal to the ANT A Input on the rear of the TV. 3 STOP Y our TV has two sepa- rate 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. The ANT(enna) A input is intended for use and view- ing on the TV’s main screen. Your home’s pri- mary Antenna, or Cable TV signal, should be con- nected to this input for normal TV setup, use and feature operation. The ANT(enna) B input is a second, or auxiliary sig- nal 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 B, will be the preferred method of connection. This type of connection (optional Signal Splitter required) will work properly for the TV’s Main on-screen fea- tures, 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 sig- nal you've connect- ed (see "SETUP" on page 2 of this Guide.) Your TV can set itself to select only the channel numbers on your Cable sys- tem (see “Setup" page 2). 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 any optional accessory contact your dealer or call the toll-free accessory ordering number (1-800-851- 8885): • Two Way Splitter (M61000) • 300-75 ohm Adapter (M61020) • UHF/VHF Antenna Combiner (SBV111133A01) SMART HELP A typical ANT(enna) A and B connection (using a common signal source and an optional Signal Splitter): 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. Connect your Antenna or Cable TV signal to the single 75 ohm input plug on the two- way 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). 2 300 to 75ΩAdapter (483521827003) Twin Lead Wire Back of TV BEGIN 1 WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR EXCESSIVE MOISTURE. Round Cable 75ΩOhm - 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 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. 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).
