For homes with cable

TV converter descram-

bler boxes (with premi-
um/movie channels scram-
bled), follow the steps to
the right for an alternative
ANT A and  PIP ANT B
feature hookup. Note that
the Cable TV signal will be
split before connection to
the converter box (an
optional 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 the

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.

Cable TV Signal 

Connect one of the signal

splitter outputs to the input
terminal on the Cable TV con-
verter box. Then route another
connection 
from the cable con-
verter output terminal to the
ANT A input on the rear of the
TV.

Your TVhas two sepa-

rate ANT(enna)/cable

inputs on the rear of the
set. These two signal inputs
offer convenient hookup
options for both normal TV
program viewing 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 connected
to this input for normal TV
setup, use, and feature
operation.

The PIP ANT(enna) B
input is a second
, or auxil-
iary, signal 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 PIP ANT B will be the
preferred method of con-
nection. This type of con-
nection (optional signal
splitter required) will work
properly for the TV’s main
onscreen features, 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 signal to
which you've connect-
ed. (See the “Tuner
Mode A/B” section on
page 3.)

Your TV can set itself
to select only the chan-
nel numbers on your
cable system (see
“Auto Program" on
page 3). If you use a
cable converter box, set
the TV to the same
channel as the convert-
er's CH 3/4 switch (on
the back of the convert-
er).

Contact your dealer,
or call our Parts
Information Center at
1-800-851-8885 to
order the following
accessories:

• Two-way signal 

splitter

• 300

• Combination 

VHF/UHF antenna.

A typical ANT(enna)

A and PIP ANT 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 75-ohm 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 75-ohm 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).

NOTE:  Proper operation of your TV is not dependent
upon connection of the PIP ANT B input. 
The main purpose
of the input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture
source for use of the PIP feature. The PIP ANT B input can,
however, be used to connect and display other signal source
options such as a satellite dish system, an additional external
antenna, a VCR, or a video game, for example. 

NOTE:  Although the PIP ANT 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 a sig-
nal being detected at the ANT A input. To ensure that all fea-
tures are operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on
the PIP 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 PIP 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 tightly (if using threaded
cables).

channels to be viewable on the TV.

• Channel selection will be at the converter. 
• The ANT A input channel on the TV

should be set to the same output channel 
as the converter box (usually CH 3 or 4).
