Glossary
Antenna Connection
If you are not connecting your TV to a cable or satellite box, you must connect an antenna or a cable
outlet to the TV to receive broadcast signals.
Connect a cable from an antenna or cable outlet to the ANT IN connector as shown in the diagram
below.
"
An antenna connection is not necessary when a cable box or satellite receiver is used.
Video Device Connections
Your TV has a variety of connectors for video input from external devices such as cable boxes, satellite
receivers, Blu-ray players, DVD players, camcorders, and gaming consoles. Below is a list of featured
connectors shown in descending order of picture quality.
HDMI
●
Component
●
Composite (A/V)
●
Connect a video device to the TV via an HDMI connector for the best picture quality. If the device does
not have an HDMI connector, try a component connector to get the next best picture quality.

●
"
For better audio quality, it is a good idea to use an AV receiver.
"
The number of connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the model.
"
Refer to the external device's operating manual when connecting it to the TV. The number of external device
connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the manufacturer.
"
When connecting the external device to the external speaker, be sure to connect the external speaker to
the TV first, and then connect the external device. Sync problems may develop if the connection order is
reversed.
