3. Connecting the TV
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.
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.
Cable System and/or VHF/UHF
• 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).
