3. 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

CABLE/ANTENNA 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 Signal Type setting to Cable or

Antenna in the Channel settings for the type of
input signal you choose (see page 46).

You can enjoy high-definition programming by
subscribing to a high-definition cable service or a
high-definition satellite service. For the best
possible picture, make sure you connect this
equipment to your TV via the HDMI or
component video (with audio) input on the back of
your TV.
