Y our TV has two sepa-
rate ANT(enna)/Cable
inputs on the rear of the
set. These two signal
inputs offer convenient
hook-up options for both
normal TV program view-
ing 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 con-
nected to this input for
normal TV setup, use and
feature operation.
The ANT(enna) B input is
a second, or auxiliary sig-
nal 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 B, will be
the preferred method of
connection. This type of
connection (optional
Signal Splitter required)
will work properly for the
TV's Main on-screen fea-
tures, 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.

A typical ANT(enna)
A and 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 75ohm 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 75ohm Signal Splitter.

Note: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon
connection of the ANT B input. Its main purpose is to provide
an easily connected, dedicated picture source for PIP feature
use. Other signal source options (such as a satellite dish sys-
tem, additional external antenna, VCR, or Video Game) could
also be connected and displayed on the TV screen through the
use of the ANT B input.
Note: Although the ANT B input can be used and swapped
as the source for the TV's Main picture, certain setup fea-
tures (such as Smart Clock) are only based on a signal being
detected at the ANT A input. To ensure that all features are
operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on the ANT
B input as your TV's Main screen signal source.
• The signal routed to the TV's ANT B input will allow for
the selection and viewing of Cable channels at the TV
(except for the scrambled Premium/Movie channels).

Connect one of the Signal
Splitter OUTPUTs to the
INput terminal on the Cable
TV Converter Box. Then route
another connection from the
Cable Converter OUTput ter-
minal to the ANT A Input on
the rear of the TV.
