HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most video/audio connections between components can
be made with shielded video and audio cables that have
phono connectors. For best performance, video cables
should use 75-ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be
purchased from most storesthat sell audio/video products.
Below are illustrationsand names of common connectors.
Beforepurchasinganycables,be sureof theoutputand
inputconnectortypesrequiredbythevariouscomponents.

•ANTENNA
Unless your TV set is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna
system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for the best performance.
However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from
interference and multiple image ghosts, the indoorantenna may be sufficient.

picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allowsa free flow of air to and
from the perforated back cover of the TV set.
To prevent damaging the TV, do not leave the set in a place where the temperature
becomes too hot. Forexample, exposed to directsunlightor near a heating device, etc.
•VIEWING
