Connect cable or an antenna to your TV’s ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT in
order to receive TV channels. Connect the cables as shown in fi g.1 or
fi g.2.
Note: If you have regular cable, your TV is able to receive some digital channels
because it has a capability called QAM. QAM is a tuner that enables reception of
unscrambled digital cable content. Check with your cable provider for information
about content availability in your area. Refer to Step 3 Operate Your TV for
information on viewing digital channels.
If you’re connecting a cable box or satellite receiver, use the chart above
to help determine which jacks to use for the best connection. Your cable
box or satellite receiver needs to be high defi nition if you want to receive
high defi nition programming. Check with your cable provider for more
information.
Continue to Step 2, Set Up Your TV, on the back page.

Set Up Your TV

Watching TV
Changing Channels
• If you have both analog and digital cable channels these these are put into the same
channel list. As you change channels, look at the top right corner of the screen to
see what type of channel you’re viewing. Digital channels display a D as part of the
channel, such as D Ch 29.1, while analog channels display an A as part of the channel,
such as A Ch 9.
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might
notice the channels change slower than you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital
channels sometimes take longer to tune.

Entering Channel Numbers
To tune to a channel, enter the channel number and press OK or wait a few seconds for
the channel to tune. Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog
channel number) and subchannels. If 6 is the primary channel and 1 is the subchannel,
for example, the channel looks like 6.1 on screen. To tune to a digital channel with a
subchannel, such as 6.1, enter the primary channel number (6), then press the
SUB CH
button. Enter the subchannel number (1) and press OK.
Changing Screen Formats
Your TV allows you to change the format of the picture you're viewing by pressing the
FORMAT button on your remote. The format changes as you press the FORMAT button
and the format type is displayed at the top of the screen. Depending on the type of signal
you're viewing and your TV's model, a different format might not be available.
