3. Connecting the TV

Cable System and/or VHF/UHF

Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
• It is strongly recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to
receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio frequency interference,
resulting in signal degradation.
Cable and VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
If you want to watch both cable and antenna (over-the-air) programming, you will need to use an optional A-
B RF Switch (not supplied) to switch between the cable and over-the-air antenna programming, as shown.
• Be sure to set Cable setting to On or Off in Channel menu for the type of input signal you choose (see page 33 for
more details).

HD Cable Box/HD Satellite Box

You can also enjoy high-definition programming by subscribing to high-definition cable service or high-
definition satellite service. For the best possible picture, connect these components to your TV via the
HDMI or component video (with audio) input on the back of your TV.
