300-ohm twin lead cable
For optimum picture quality, a 75-ohm coaxial cable antenna connection is highly recommended. Radio waves and other interference can easily affect a 300-ohm twin lead cable, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the LCD projection TV.
Do not use an indoor antenna; they are especially susceptible to radio noise.
