Separate VHF and UHF AntennasIf you have two separate antennas for your PDP(one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the twoantenna signals before connecting them to the PDP. This requires a combiner attachment, which youcan buy at an electronics store.1 Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.2 Plug the combiner into the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.21Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas20Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin LeadsIf your antenna looks like this: it has 300-ohm flat twin leads.1 Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on the 300-75 ohm adapter. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.2 Plug the adapter into the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.Antennas with 75-ohm Round LeadsIf your antenna looks like this: it has 75-ohm round leads. 1Plug the antenna lead into the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.
Connecting Cable TVYou can connect different cable systems to your PDP, including cable without a cable box, and cable with a cable box that descrambles some or all channels.Cable without a Cable Box1 Plug the incoming cable into the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels.1 Find the cable connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box. This terminalmight be labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT", or simply "OUT".2 Connect the cable to the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP. 22Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles Some (But Not All) ChannelsTo complete this connection you will need a two-way splitter, a RF (A/B) switch, and four coaxialcables (which you can buy from your Samsung dealer or any electronics store).1Find and disconnect the cable that is con-nected to the ANTENNA IN terminal of your cable box. This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN", "VHF IN", or simply, "IN". Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.2Connect a coaxial cable between an OUT-PUT terminal of the splitter and the IN termi-nal of the cable box.3Connect a coaxial cable between theANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.4Connect a coaxial cable between theANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.5Connect the last coaxial cable between theOUT terminal of the RF (A/B) switch and the VHF/UHF ter-minal on the PDP.After you've made this connection, set the A/B switch to the "A" position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B" position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to "B", you will need to tune your Set-Top Box to the cable box's output channel, which is usuallychannel 3 or 4.)23
