3. Connecting the TV
You can enjoy high-definition and standard-
definition digital programming (if available in 
your area) along with standard-definition analog 
programming.
~
• This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital 
programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and 
external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).
• It is strongly recommended that you connect the 
antenna/cable input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to 
receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead 
cable can be easily affected by radio frequency 
interference, resulting in signal degradation.
Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
Use an optional A-B RF switch (not supplied) to 
switch between the cable and over-the-air antenna 
programming, as indicated below.
~
• Be sure to set the Cable setting to On or Off in the 
Channel settings for the type of input signal you 
choose (see page 39).
You can also enjoy high-definition programming 
by subscribing to a high-definition cable service or 
a high-definition satellite service. For the best 
possible picture, make sure you connect this 
equipment to your TV via the HDMI or 
component video (with audio) input on the back of 
your TV.
