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
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 44).
You can also 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.
