Once you have a High-Definition signal you need to connect it to a
High-Definition input on your TV. Not all channels are currently

on the same network, broadcast on different channels. (Example: ABC
analog may be on channel 4, while ABC-HD may be on channel 104.)

Receiving an HDTV Signal

Quick Tour

There are three basic ways to receive an HDTV signal on your new TV:

1. Over-the-Air (Antenna)

Connect a high quality outside antenna (not

supplied) directly to the antenna input on
the TV (reception cannot be guaranteed and
is based on proximity to the local signal).

2. Cable or Phone Company HDTV Service
Cable or phone company HDTV service customers

will need to subscribe to High-Definition service from

your local provider. (Additional monthly subscription
cost may apply).

3. Satellite
Satellite customers will need a High-Definition

satellite receiver and appropriate dish hardware.

(Additional monthly subscription cost may apply).

Connecting to a High-Definition Input on your TV

You can connect directly from an antenna, or if you are using an HD cable box or HD satellite box, there are three standard connections that can be used to receive an HD signal.

1. Antenna Input

To connect directly from
an antenna or basic cable:
connect the cable directly
to the antenna input on the
back of the TV.

INPUT

2. HDMI® to HDMI®

HDMI® is the best connection
for HDTV. This is a digital
connection that carries both
digital video and digital audio.

OUTPUT

Cable box/Satellite box

INPUT

TV

3. DVI to HDMI®
Your HD cable box or HD satellite receiver

may have a DVI connection. This will be
connected to the HDMI® jack on the TV using an
HDMI® cable and an HDMI® to DVI converter.
DVI carries digital video only.

4. Component Video Input

HD component may also be used
to receive HDTV. Use if no HDMI® or DVI jack
is available. There are three jacks color-coded
with red-green-blue on the back of the TV and
HD cable box or HD satellite receiver. This
connection will require a separate analog audio

connection (use the red and white audio
connections).
