Connecting the TV
Basic Connections
Connecting Cable Box
For best results, use this connection if you have a cable system and your cable
company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels or all channels
(which requires you to use a cable box).
Connect the CATV cable to the cable box’s input jack. Then use a coaxial cable to
connect the cable box’s output jack to the TV’s RF input jack.

Connecting Digital
Cable Box
Connect the RF coaxial cable from the CATV to the input of the digital cable box.
Use a component video cable to connect the YPbPr jacks of your digital cable box
to the TV’s component jacks.
Component video connection is necessary to view digital broadcastings in 1080i,
720p, 480i and 480p. This TV displays most format types of picture.
The component Jacks do not provide audio, so audio cables must be connected
to provide sound.
