3. Making Connections
Connect your TV to an antenna or cable connection, and then connect your peripherals. When done, connect the
power cord to the TV, and then connect the power cord to an AC wall outlet. If you are connecting your TV to a cable
or satellite box using HDMI, Component, or Composite connections, you do not need to connect the ANT IN jack to an
antenna or a cable connection.
y
For the best picture and audio quality, connect digital devices
using an HDMI cable.
y
If you connect an external device to the TV that uses an older
version of HDMI, the video and audio may not work. If this
occurs, ask the manufacturer of the device about the HDMI
version and, if it is out of date, request an upgrade.
y
Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the
picture may not display or a connection error may occur.

Use the PC's speakers for audio.
