Connecting the TV

Making Video and

Audio Connections

To display clear crisp pictures, first you must connect your TV correctly and also need to choose the correct display format (see “Changing the wide screen mode” on page 38). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

Your TV includes several types of video inputs. When connecting your TV, use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video performance, as described below.

zThe supplied remote control can be programmed to operate your cable box (see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 34).

zTo change channels using the cable box, set your TV to channel 3 or 4 depending on the cable box channel output.

zIf you will be controlling all channel selection through your cable box, consider using the Channel Fix feature to set your TV to channel 3 or 4 (see page 53).

From the Channel settings, select Cable On or Cable Off for your type of input signal.

A ferrite core is factory attached to the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable. Do not detach the ferrite core from the coaxial cable.

The ferrite core is attached to one end of (not the center of) the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable. When connecting the cable to the TV, insert the end with the ferrite core into the VHF/UHF jack.

Use this hookup if:

sYou subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded signals requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

sYou do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your TV.

1Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable box’s IN jack.

2Using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
