PREPARATION (Continued) Antenna Connection ANTENNAS

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems. F-type connector

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type

connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied). 75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be

attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (not supplied). 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna. A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas
• Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to ANT. (Antenna terminal) on the rear of the TV set. A. Combination VHF/UHF Antenna 300/75-ohm adapter (not supplied) VHF/UHF antenna VHF/UHF antenna

F-type connector should be finger-tightened only. When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.) PREPARATION (Continued) Antenna Connection (Continued)

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.
• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied). “A” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s channel keys. “B” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/ descrambler by using the converter’s channel keys.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued) Antenna Problem The picture is not sharp. Check item

The reception may be weak. The quality of the broadcast may also be bad. Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction. Make sure the outside antenna is connected. The picture moves. The picture is doubled or tripled. The picture is spotted. There are stripes on the screen or colors fade.

• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.
• There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or buildings.

• There may be interference from automobiles, trains, high voltage lines, neon lights, etc.
• There may be interference between the antenna cable and AC cord. Try positioning them further apart.

• Is the unit receiving interference from other devices? Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations, transmission antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interference.
• Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause possible interference. ■ Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
