Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the AVC System.
F-type connector
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (Commercially available).
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm
adapter (Commercially available).
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
Cable TV/VCR connection
• Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected.
• Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your System.
• The connection type will determine whether to select “Air” or “Cable” for both ANALOG-A and B when configuring “Air/
Cable” settings.

Watching TV
Please note: your new AQUOS Liquid Crystal Television is capable of receiving the full range of cable-TV channels available
today, from the most advanced digital and HDTV channels, to the more traditional analog channels. As the transition toward
full digital TV continues, some cable-TV systems in the USA will have a mixture of analog and digital channels in their
lineups. When you are viewing analog cable-TV channels and wish to switch to viewing digital cable-TV channels, you must
press the DIGITAL button (located just below the numbers) on the remote control first. In similar fashion, when you are
viewing digital channels and wish to switch to viewing analog channels, you must press either the ANALOG-A or ANALOG-
B button (depending on whether you have your cable connected to the A or B terminal) on the remote first.
