Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your PDP(one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two
antenna signals before connecting them to the PDP. This requires a combiner attachment, which you
can 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.
21
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
20
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If 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 Leads
If 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 TV
You 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 Box
1 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 terminal
might be labeled "ANT OUT", "VHF OUT", or simply "OUT".
2 Connect the cable to the VHF/UHF terminal on the PDP.
22
Cable with a Cable Box that Descrambles Some (But Not All) Channels
To complete this connection you will need a two-way splitter, a RF (A/B) switch, and four coaxial
cables (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 the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box
and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.
4Connect a coaxial cable between the
ANTENNA OUT terminal of the cable box
and the B-IN terminal of the A/B switch.
5Connect the last coaxial cable between the
OUT 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 usually
channel 3 or 4.)

Memorizing the Channels
Your PDP can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna)
and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH
buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering
the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast
source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).
32 33
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of
signal source that is connected to the PDP (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).
1 Press the Menu button. Move the joystick up or
down to select “Channel”, then press the joystick
to enter.
2 Move the joystick left or right to select “Ant”,
“STD”, “HRC” or “IRC”.
•If you are connected to an antenna, leave "Ant"
displayed. If you connected cable, Move the
joystick left or right to the display the type of cable
system: "STD", "HRC", or "IRC".
(If you are not sure which type of cable system you
have, contact your cable company).
3 Press the Menu button to exit.
Note
• STD, HRC and IRC identify various types of cable TV systems. Contact your local cable company
to identify the type of cable system that exists in your particular area.
At this point the signal source has been selected. Proceed to “Storing Channels in Memory”
(next page).
