If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads,” below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads,” on page 2.2.

If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas,” on page 2.2.

Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has 300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

C h a p t e r Tw o

INSTALLAT ION

▼

1Find and disconnect thecable that is connected tothe ANTENNA IN terminal on your cablebox.

This terminal might be labeled“ANT IN,” “VHF IN,” or simply,“IN.”

2Connect this cable to atwo-way splitter.

3Connect a coaxial cablebetween an OUTPUT ter-minal on the splitter andthe IN terminal on thecable box.



4Connect a coaxial cablebetween the ANTENNAOUT terminal on the cablebox and the B–IN terminalon the A/B switch.

5Connect another cablebetween the other OUTterminal on the splitterand the A–IN terminal onthe RF (A/B) switch.

6Connect the last coaxialcable between the OUTterminal on the RF (A/B)switch and the VHF/UHFterminal on the rear of theTV.

INSTALLAT ION

After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal view-ing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set theA/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which isusually channel 3 or 4.)
