2. Connecting the TV
You can enjoy high-definition and standard-
definition digital programming (if available in
your area) along with standard-definition analog
programming.
~
• This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital
programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and
external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).
• It is strongly recommended that you connect the
antenna/cable input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to
receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead
cable can be easily affected by radio frequency
interference, resulting in signal degradation.
Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
Use an optional A-B RF switch (not supplied) to
switch between the cable and over-the-air antenna
programming, as indicated below.
~
• Be sure to set the Cable setting to On or Off in the
Channel settings for the type of input signal you
choose (see page 37).
You can also enjoy high-definition programming
by subscribing to a high-definition cable service or
a high-definition satellite service. Make sure you
connect this equipment to your TV via the HDMI
input on the back of your TV.
