3. Connecting the TV

Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)

~

• It is recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to 

receive optimum picture quality. A 300 ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio frequency 
interference, resulting in signal degradation.

Cable and VHF/UHF (or VHF only)

If you want to watch both cable and antenna (over-the-air) programming, you will need to use an 
optional A-B RF Switch (not supplied) to switch between the cable and over-the-air antenna 
programming, as shown. 

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