NTENNA AND NPUTS
Y our TV has two separate
ANT(enna)/cable inputs
on the back of the set. These
two signal inputs offer conven-
ient hookup options for both
normal TV program viewing
and Picture-In-Picture (PIP)
features.
The ANT(enna) "A" input is
intended for use and viewing
on the TV's main screen. Your
home's primary antenna or
cable TV signal should be con-
nected to this input for normal
TV setup, use, and feature
operation.
The PIP ANT(enna) "B"
input is a second, or auxiliary,
signal source included for your
TV's Picture-In-Picture (PIP)
feature. For many homes, the
use of a single existing anten-
na or cable TV source for both
ANT(enna)"A" and PIP
ANT(enna) "B" will be the
preferred method of connection
(see illustration to the right).
This type of connection
(optional signal splitter
required) will work properly
for the TV's main on-screen
features, as well as retain all
the features designed for PIP.
For more details on PIP, refer
to pages 49–52 in the
Directions for Use manual that
came with your set.

Connect a cable TV
signal to a 75-ohm two-way
signal splitter (an optional
accessory).
Or
Connect an outdoor or
indoor antenna signal to the
75-ohm two-way signal split-
ter. If your antenna has flat
twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you
must first attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300-
to 75-ohm adapter before con-
necting to the two-way signal
splitter.

NOTE: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon the connection of the PIP ANT(enna) "B" input. The main purpose of the
input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for the PIP feature. You can, however, use the PIP ANT(enna) "B" input to
connect and display other signal sources such as an outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player.
Although the PIP ANT(enna) "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 your TV's detecting a signal at the ANT(enna) "A" input. To ensure that all features are operating proper-
ly, you may not want to rely solely on the PIP ANT(enna) "B" input as your TV's main screen signal source.

ONNECTIONS
Connect two lengths of
RF coaxial cable to the two
output plugs on the two-way
signal splitter. The two lengths
of RF coaxial cable must have
F-type connectors (screw-on or
push type) on their ends.

NOTE: This owner's manual is used with several differ-
ent television models. Not all features (and drawings) dis-
cussed in this manual will necessarily match those found
with your television set. This is normal and does not
require that you contact your dealer or request service.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZ-
ARD DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
EXCESSIVE MOISTURE.
Connect one of the RF
coaxial cables coming from
two-way signal splitter to the
PIP ANT(enna) "B" input on
the back of the TV and the
other RF coaxial cable to the
ANT(enna) "A" input on the
back of the TV.

You can treat the
output connection of a satel-
lite receiver as you would a
standard antenna or cable TV
signal, except the satellite
signal should not be split as
shown in the illustration to
the right. The satellite signal
should go directly into the
ANT(enna) "A" input con-
nection on the back of the
TV. Then, if you would like,
use the PIP ANT(enna) "B"
input connection for either
an outdoor/indoor antenna or
cable TV signal. Refer to the
owner's manual for the satel-
lite box to get further infor-
mation on connections.
Run Auto Program to store
in the TV's memory only the
channels with active broad-
cast stations. See page 5 for
details.
