Antenna/Cable Information
Most modern TV antennas receive both
VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF
(Ultra High Frequency) channels. Chan-
nels 2-13 are VHF channels, and channels
14-69 are UHF channels.

Typical
Outdoor
Antenna
In most situations you will get better
picture quality if you use an outdoor
antenna or connect your TV to a cable-TV
system. If this is not possible, connect the
indoor antenna supplied with your TV.
Cable-TV delivers both VII and UHF
channels and other channels not available
from your antenna.
Shown below are two basic types of
antenna cables. Signals from a home
antenna may be conducted through either
type. Cabte-TV signals, however, are
always conducted through round, 75-ohm
coaxial cable.

Connecting Your TV
Cable-TV Operation
Your new TV is designed to receive up
to 181 TV channels, including 125
non-scrambled cable channels (see
chart below). To use this TV on a
cable-TV system, confirm that the
cable-TV system is properly
connected to your TV. Since cable
,;ystems vary, you may wish to consult
your local cable-TV company for
additional information.
If your cable-TV company follows
EIA/NCTA channel-identification
standards, most of the channels
offered by your cable company will be
identified by channel numbers that are
identical to those on your TV. For
example, if your cable-TV system has
programs on cable channel 20, you can
choose this channel by selecting
channel 20 on your TV.
Some cable-TV companies do not
follow the EIA/NCTA standards and
instead assign their own channel
identification. For example, some use
the standard broadcast channel
numbers (2-13) for channels 2-13, but
identify their other channels with
letters. If your cable company does
not follow the EIA/NCTA standards,
ask them for a cross reference that
shows to which channels you should
tune your "IV to receive their cable-
TV channels.
Scrambled Cable-TV Channels
Some cable companies offer
"premium-pay" channels in which the
signal is scrambled. Descrambling
these signals for normal viewing may
require the use of a cable box which is
generally provided by the cable
company.
How you connect the cable box to
your TV depends upon whether or not
the cable: box can be controlled by
remote control. If your cable box is
remote controllable, you will want to
connect it as shown in Diagram B on
the previious page.
If your cable box cannot be controlled
by remote control, you will still be
able to remotely control
"unscrambled" channels with the
connection shown in Diagram C on
the previous page.
The chart below lists the "total" channel and cable capability count.

VHF is only counted once in total channel count because you can receive channels 2-13 on
both "off-air" and "cable" channels. Therefore the total channel count for "off-air" and
"cable" is 181 channels (68+125-12=181).
** Channels 95, 96, and 97 are not applicable in Canada. Therefore, the total number in Canada
is 178.
