3. Connecting the TV
Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
• It is strongly recommended that you connect the 
antenna/cable input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not 
supplied) to receive optimum picture quality. A 
300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio 
frequency interference, resulting in signal degradation.
Cable and VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
If you want to watch both cable and antenna (over-
the-air) programming, you will need to use an 
optional A-B RF Switch (not supplied) to switch 
between the cable and over-the air antenna 
programming, as shown. 
You can also enjoy high definition programming by 
subscribing to high definition cable service or high 
definition satellite service. For the best possible 
picture, connect these components to your TV via the 
HDMI or component video (with audio) input on the 
back of your TV. 
Cable system and/or VHF/UHF
• Be sure to set Cable setting to Cable On or Cable 
Off in Channel menu for the type of input signal you 
choose (see page 30 for more details.).
