Cable connections for watching digital 
and/or conventional TV channels
This system is equipped with two terminals for inputting TV 
broadcasting signals: ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN. The 
ANT/CABLE A IN terminal accepts both digital and 
conventional TV broadcasting signals while the ANT B IN 
terminal accepts only conventional TV broadcasting signals. 
When using cable TV to watch digital and/or conventional TV 
channels, connect to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal as shown. 
In addition, you may connect an antenna to the ANT B IN 
terminal as shown; use an outdoor antenna to enjoy clearer 
pictures. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable 
with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at 
the rear of the Plasma Display.
Connecting VHF/UHF antennas and a Cable 
NOTE
• Be sure to connect coaxial cables as shown above. Signal 
reception may fail if not properly connected.
• In order to watch cable TV channels, be sure to connect the 
cable to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal.
• The ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals must not 
receive the same signals. For example, do not connect a 
cable from a cable TV to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT 
B IN terminals. Similarly, do not connect a cable from an 
antenna to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN 
terminals.
• TV Guide may not be available in all areas and is not available 
with satellite systems. In addition, as content providers move 
to digital programming and broadcasting, TV Guide Data 
may be unavailable or become unavailable.
Inserting the CableCARD™
The Plasma Display is equipped with a slot for inserting a 
CableCARD™. When you are watching digital and/or High 
Definition TV channels over cable, the card allows you to use 
the POD service provided by the cable TV company; the POD 
stands for Point of Deployment. This service presents various 
types of useful information, using HTML text.
1
Confirm that the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal has been 
connected with the coaxial cable from the Cable 
Converter.
2
Hold and push the tab of the slot cover on the rear of the 
Plasma Display leftward, and remove the cover while 
pulling the tab’s latch downward.
3
Insert the specified CableCARD™ into the Cable CARD 
slot as far as it goes.
NOTE
• Be sure to insert only the specified CableCARD™.
• Do not insert a PC card.
• When you use a CableCARD™, you need not execute Auto 
Channel Preset; the CableCARD™ automatically generates a 
cable channel list.
Switching between antenna A and B
To watch broadcasts via the two antennas, you can select it by 
pressing 
ANT on the remote control unit. 
• While watching a broadcast, press 
ANT to view the image 
received from the other antenna.
• Pressing 
ANT while watching in the 2-screen mode (TV 
image and video image) with TV selected will display the TV 
image of the other antenna.
• Pressing 
ANT while watching in the 2-screen mode with two 
TV images displayed will not have any effect.
