WARNING! ENSURE THE TV AND ALL ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT IS UN-
PLUGGED FROM THE MAINS BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS!
Connecting the Antenna or Cable
Connect to an antenna
Any DTV programs that are broadcast in your area can be received for free
through an antenna connection.
Contact your local content provider or your local electronics retailer if you
are unsure about what HDTV programs are available in your area.
Broadcasters are transitioning from analog to digital TV. This means that a
given broadcaster can have channels available either in analog or in digital,
or both analog and digital at the same time.
The TV produces stereo sound if stereo signal is broadcast.
Connect to a cable
When your TV is connected to the cable socket, you might receive free dig-
ital and high definition programs (depending on your cable provider). The
channel number for digital and high definition channels includes a dot “.”
For example, 13.1, 20.30, 121.309. Contact your cable provider for more
information.
Connect to a Direct Broadcast Satellite ( DBS)
There are two main DBS systems: Direct TV and Dish Network. These systems
require a separate, proprietary set-top box to decode signals and send them
to the TV. The set-top box contains a digital TV tuner for receiving off-air
digital broadcasts.
