Connecting the Power Cord
1. Connect the female end of the AC power cord to the AC input on the television.
2. As shown in the diagram, connect the male end to a wall power outlet.
• This product must be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label (AC 100~240V 50/60 Hz).
• If the television will not be used for a long period of time, it should be unplugged from the wall
outlet.
Connecting the Antenna
Connecting CATV
Your BenQ television has an internal 75 ohm coaxial cable connector, so antenna hook-up is
very easy.When connecting a 75-ohm coaxial cable to your BenQ television, secure it firmly to
the ANT connector.
Some cable television companies provide "pay per view" programming. Since the signal for these
paid channels is encoded, most cable television companies provide their own tuners/ decoders.
You must install a tuner/ decoder to be able to view locked encoded programming. If you
require special instructions on how to install cable service, please contact your cable television
provider. The tuner/decoder provided by your cable television company can be used according
to the following instructions.
To use the decoder, you must have an RF switch with two inputs (A and B) (not supplied).
The "A" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to use the television's channel selector
button to view unlocked channels. The "B" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to
use the channel selection button on your cable box to view locked encoded programming via the
tuner/decoder.

Antenna
The antenna equipment has far more effect on reception for colour televisions than on black
and white models. We suggest you use a good-quality outdoor antenna. Following are simple
explanations for the connection of various types of antennas.
Installation of an Outdoor Antenna
For best reception it is recommended that an outdoor antenna be used. You can use a combina-
tion VHF/UHF outdoor antenna or separate VHF and/ or UHF outdoor antennas.
Connect the lead from the outdoor antenna to the ANTENNA input on the rear of the televi-
sion.
Making Connection
• Before connecting any component, please familiarise yourself with the location and type of
each input. If incorrect connections are made, picture or colour quality may be adversely
affected. Please ensure that all connectors are firmly seated.
• Your DVD player, VCR or home theatre system (DV3080 only) can be connected to the rear of
the television so that you can enjoy a complete audio-visual experience. Before connecting
external devices, turn off the power to the television for safety.
1. Generally speaking, 75 ohm systems have a
round cable with a BNL connector which
requires no tools. Attach the cable directly to
the input (not included).
2. 300 ohm systems have a flat "dual lead" type
cable. A 300-75 ohm transformer may be
used to attach the antenna to a 75 ohm input
(not included).
