Introduction to Connections
Experiencing HD Images
An HDTV without an HD source is just an ordinary TV.
To enjoy HD images on the TV, you should get HD programming from the following:
Over-the-air broadcasting via HD quality antenna
HD cable/satellite subscription
HD compatible external equipment
For information on updating to HD programming, ask your cable/satellite service provider.
Types of Connection
Image quality differs depending on the terminal used. To enjoy clearer images, check the output terminals of your
external equipment and use its appropriate terminals for higher quality images.
For connecting the TV to external equipment, use commercially available cables.
The illustrations of the terminals are for explanation purposes and may vary slightly from the actual products.
