Cable TV connections
For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the
75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the TV.
For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial
Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler
box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler
box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
For subscribers to unscrambled Cable TV service with scrambled premium channels
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the Cable TV company or an electronics
supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any non-scrambled channels
on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and
use the Converter/Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some
cable companies oer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal
viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.

Reception disturbances
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may utter or drift. Usually caused by interference
from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other
is reected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position of the
antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such
as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without using multiple antenna
couplers.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, your
picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be
necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of
contrast in the picture.
• Keep the television away from Radio.
• Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.
• The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.
• Use a coaxial cable for antenna.
• You can check if this television inuences Radio receivers by turning o all other equipment other
than the television. If you nd a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the
instructions mentioned above.
BLOCK NOISE or FREEZE (DIGITAL INPUT):
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is usually caused by
interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, ghosting of the image and
lost or weak receiving signals.
NOTE:
• The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from the TV set to a
considerable distance.
