Connecting the TV
Overview
Your new LCD TV can receive both analog and digital (HD and SD) 
broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV company.
To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and 
choose the correct display format (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page 
50). It is stro
ngly recommended to connect the cable and antenna inputs 
using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 
300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, 
resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep 
it as far away as possible from the TV.
Making Video and 
Audio Connections
The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in

of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of 
connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or 
satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV,
