Note
It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-
ohm coaxial cable to get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm
twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like,
resulting in signal deterioration, if you use a 300-ohm twin lead
cable, keep it away as far as possible from the TV.
Cable box connections
Use this hookup if:
• You subscribe
to a cable TV system that uses
scrambled
or encoded
signals requiring
a cable
box to view all channels,
and

video equipment
to your TV.
1
Connect
the coaxial connector
from your cable
service to the cable box's IN jack.

75-ohm coaxial cable,
connect the cable box's OUT jack to the TV's
VHF/UHF
