ANTENNA CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE PLASMA DTV

1 Connect the Antenna signal to the “ANT ” terminal on the DTV.

NOTE: For models with separate analog and digital tuners, connect an antenna to the UHF/VHF/CATV terminal and to the Digital terminal. To use a splitter with a single antenna, the signal you receive must be very strong.

2 Perform an “All Channel Search.” The All Channel Search will search for
off-air digital and analog channels. The DTV can receive cable or off-air channels, but not at the same time. If after two searches the DTV still fails to detect any channels, the DTV will tune to Video1.

NOTES: If EXIT is pressed, the DTV will skip Channel Search and tune to Video1 without storing any channels in Memory.

The illustrations depict a first time operation. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for instructions on how to use the Menu system to perform an All Channel Search for all other situations. To add channels you should use the “Digital Add-on Search” menu option.

ANTENNA SIGNAL PASS THROUGH CONNECTION TO DTV

1 Connect the Antenna to the “IN” terminal on the first device in the series.

2 Connect the “OUT” terminal on the first device to the “IN” terminal on the second device in the series.

3 Connect the “OUT” terminal on the second device to the “IN” terminal on the next device in the series.

4 Connect the last device’s “OUT” terminal to the DTV ANT terminal (Digital terminal for dual-tuner models).

5 Perform an “All Channel Search” to search for off-air digital and analog channels (digital tuner connection on dual-tuner models will only find digital channels, where available).

NOTES: Devices with RF pass-through terminals (such as DVD Recorders and VCRs) can be connected in any order. However, when more than one device is connected in this series those additional devices should have component output jacks.

The Antenna signal is passed through each device in a serial fashion via the RF in /out terminals. A VCR’s TV/VCR switch must be set to TV.

With this connection the antenna signal can be used by each device as it passes through to the DTV. That means that each recording device connected in the series can record a unique channel while you watch a different channel.

To view signals from the VCR and DVD Recorder, connect them to the DTV via the audio video jacks (click on VCR or DVD Recorder for AV hookup options).
