To connect a 300-ohm flat twin lead antenna to the SAMSUNG LT-P 1545 TFT-LCD TELEVISION, follow these steps:

Step 1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 ohm adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Step 2. Plug the adaptor into the TV ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

To connect a 75-ohm round lead antenna to the SAMSUNG LT-P 1545 TFT-LCD TELEVISION:

Step 1. Plug the antenna lead into the TV ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

If you have two separate antennas for the SAMSUNG LT-P 1545 TFT-LCD TELEVISION (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting them to the TV. This requires an optional combiner-adaptor.

Step 1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

Step 2. Plug the combiner into the TV ANTENNA terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

To connect cable TV without a cable box to the SAMSUNG LT-P 1545 TFT-LCD TELEVISION:

Step 1. Plug the incoming cable into the TV ANTENNA terminal on the back of the TV. Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.

To connect a cable box that descrambles all channels to the SAMSUNG LT-P 1545 TFT-LCD TELEVISION:

Step 1. Find the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box. This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT”, or simply, “OUT”.

Step 2. Connect the other end of this cable to the TV ANTENNA terminal on the back of the TV.

If your cable box descrambles only some channels on the SAMSUNG LT-P 1545 TFT-LCD TELEVISION, you will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of coaxial cable.

Step 1. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal on your cable box. This terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN”, or simply, IN.

Step 2. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

Step 3. Connect a coaxial cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

Step 4. Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the A/B switch.

Step 5. Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

Step 6. Connect the last coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the VHF/UHF terminal on the rear of the TV.

After making this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

These instructions assume you have already connected the SAMSUNG LT-P 1545 TFT-LCD TELEVISION to an antenna or a cable TV system.

Step 1. Unplug the cable or antenna from the back of the TV.

Step 2. Connect the cable or antenna to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the back of the VCR.

Step 3. Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the VCR and the antenna terminal on the TV.

Step 4. Connect a set of audio cables between the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR and the AUDIO INPUT jacks on the TV. If your VCR is stereo, you must connect two cables. If you have a “mono” (non-stereo) VCR, use the Y-connector (not supplied) to hook up to the left and right audio input jacks of the TV.

Step 5. Connect a video cable between the VIDEO OUT jack on the VCR and the VIDEO jack on the TV.

Follow the instructions in “Viewing a VCR or Camcorder Tape” to view your VCR tape.
