Connections
There are three basic types of antenna or cable connections:
• If you have an antenna or have a cable system that does not require you use a cable box to
select channels, please refer to
Diagram #1
.
• If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access
all
the channels, please
refer to
Diagram #2
. If you cannot operate your Picture-In-Picture function using Diagram #2, try the
connection shown in Diagram #3. It is possible your cable box allows the signal of only one channel
at a time to be sent to your television.
• If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access
certain
premium channels,
but not “basic” cable channels, please refer to
Diagram #3
.
• For your convenience, connection to a VCR is also shown in the following diagrams. A VCR is not
necessary for operation of the television or Picture-In-Picture (PIP) function. You may omit the VCR
from your connections if you wish.
• For instructions on connecting a VCR only, please see the Quick Setup Guide.
• For information on using PIP, please see page 30.
The connection diagrams are intended to show some basic general connections. Some cable
companies may require special connections to properly use your television or 2-tuner PIP function.
If you follow these diagrams and either the television or PIP does not work properly, contact your local
cable operator for more connection information.
