ANTENNA A AND B INPUTS
Y
our TV has two separate
ANT(enna)/cable inputs
on the back of the set. These
two signal inputs offer convenient hookup options for both
normal TV program viewing
and Picture-In-Picture (PIP)
features.
Connect a cable TV
signal to a 75-ohm two-way
signal splitter (an optional
accessory).
Or
Connect an outdoor or
indoor antenna signal to the
75-ohm two-way signal splitter. If your antenna has flat
twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you
must first attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300to 75-ohm adapter before connecting to the two-way signal
splitter.
Connect two lengths of
RF coaxial cable to the two
output plugs on the two-way
signal splitter. The two lengths
of RF coaxial cable must have
F-type connectors (screw-on or
push type) on their ends.
Run Auto Program to store
in the TV’s memory only the
channels with active broadcast stations. See page 5 for
details.

Contact your dealer,

Center at 1-800-851-8885 to
order the following accessories: two-way signal splitter, RF coaxial cable, 300ohm to 75-ohm adapter,
combination VHF/UHF
antenna.
You can treat the
output connection of a satellite receiver as you would a
standard antenna or cable TV
signal, except the satellite
signal should not be split as
shown in the illustration to
the right. The satellite signal
should go directly into the
ANT(enna) “A” input connection on the back of the
TV. Then, if you would like,
use the PIP ANT(enna) “B”
input connection for either
an outdoor/indoor antenna or
cable TV signal. Refer to the
owner’s manual for the satellite box to get further information on connections.
Back of TV
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.
The PIP ANT(enna) “B”
input is a second, or auxiliary,
signal source included for 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(enna)“A” and PIP
ANT(enna) “B” will be the
preferred method of connection
(see illustration to the right).
This type of connection
(optional signal splitter
required) will work properly
for the TV’s main on-screen
features, as well as retain all
the features designed for PIP.
For more details on PIP, refer
to pages 49–52 in the
Directions for Use manual that
came with your set.

Connect one of the RF
coaxial cables coming from
two-way signal splitter to the
PIP ANT(enna) “B” input on
the back of the TV and the
other RF coaxial cable to the
ANT(enna) “A” input on the
back of the TV.
(The Two-way Signal Splitter
has a single 75-ohm input and
branches to twin 75-ohm outputs.
RF coaxial connecting cables will
be needed for use with the Twoway Signal Splitter.)

NOTE: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon the connection of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input. The main purpose of the
input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for the PIP feature. You can, however, use the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input to
connect and display other signal sources such as an outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player.
Although the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input can be used and swapped as the source for the TV’s main picture, certain setup features (such
as AutoChron) are based only on your TV’s detecting a signal at the ANT(enna) “A” input. To ensure that all features are operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input as your TV’s main screen signal source.

f you use a cable converter
box in your home, follow the
steps to the right for an alternative ANT(enna) “A” and
PIP ANT(enna) “B” input
hookup. NOTE: The Cable TV
signal will be split before connection to the cable box (an
optional two-way 75-ohm signal splitter will be required).
NOTES:
• The signal routed to the TV’s ANT(enna) “A” input will allow for
premium/movie channels to be viewable on the TV.
• For the ANT(enna) “A” input, you will select channels through the

The TV’s Side Inputs (AV3)
The side of the TV has inputs
for S-Video, composite video,
and Audio. These inputs are
convenient for camcorder playback. Use the S-Video for
S-VHS playback. The TV recognizes these side inputs on
screen as AV 3. Also included
in the side panel is an input for
headphones.
SUMMARY
• ANT(enna) “A” input and
PIP ANT(enna) “B”
input—for TV broadcast signals (see page 1, “Antenna A
and B Inputs”; page 2,
“Cable Box”; and page 5,
“Tuner Mode”)
• Super Video (S-Video)
inputs—available on the
back and side of the TV (see
the illustration and information to the right and the
“S-Video” section on the
next page)
• AV1 IN(puts)—composite
video and audio (see the “AV
Inputs” section below)
• Headphone input—one of
the TV’s side inputs (see the
information and illustration
to the right)
• AV2 IN(puts)—composite
video and audio (see the “AV
Inputs” section below)
• TV’s side inputs (identified
on screen as AV 3)—
S-Video, composite video,
and audio (see the illustration
and information to the right)
AV INPUTS
T
he TV’s audio/video (AV)
inputs are for direct picture
and sound connections between
the TV and an accessory device
that has AV outputs, such as a
VCR. The illustration to the
right shows a connection being
made to the AV1 IN(puts) on
the back of the TV. Following
are the steps for making the
connections and viewing the
AV1 input source. This information is presented as an example
of how you may choose to connect an accessory device to an
AV input.
• Component Video inputs
(identified on screen as
CVI)—labeled Y, Pb, Pr; provide optimal picture quality
(Y = luminance, Pb = blue
color component, Pr = red
color component) (see the
“Component Video” section
on the next page).

Use a video cable to
connect from the VIDEO OUT
on the back of the VCR to the
