Cable connections for watching digital
and/or conventional TV channels
This system is equipped with two terminals for inputting TV
broadcasting signals, ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN. The
ANT/CABLE A IN terminal accepts both digital and
conventional TV broadcasting signals while the ANT B IN
terminal accepts only conventional TV broadcasting signals.
When using cable TV to watch digital and/or conventional TV
channels, connect to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal as shown.
To add an outdoor antenna for clearer pictures, connect an
antenna to the ANT B IN terminal. If your outdoor antenna uses
a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into
the antenna terminal at the rear of the Plasma Display.
Connecting VHF/UHF antennas and a Cable
NOTE
• Connect coaxial cables as shown above. Signal reception
may fail if cables are connected improperly.
• In order to watch cable TV channels, be sure to connect the
cable to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal.
• The ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals must not
receive the same signals. For example, do not connect the
cable TV line to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN
terminals. Similarly, do not connect an antenna cable to
both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals.
• The TV Guide On Screen™ system may not be available in all
areas and is not available with satellite systems. In addition,
as content providers move to digital programming and
broadcasting, TV Guide data may be unavailable or become
unavailable.
Inserting the CableCARD™
The Plasma Display provides a slot for inserting a
CableCARD™. When you are watching digital and/or High
Definition TV channels over cable, the card allows you to use
the cable company’s Point of Deployment (POD) service. This
service presents various types of useful information in Internet-
styled text.
1
Confirm that the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal is connected to
the Cable Converter box using a coaxial cable.
2
Slide the slot cover tab on the rear of the Plasma Display
to the left then remove the cover while pulling the tab’s
latch down.
3
Insert the specified CableCARD™ completely into the slot.
NOTE
• Be sure to insert only the specified CableCARD™.
• Do not insert a PC card.
• The CableCARD™ automatically generates a cable channel
list. It is unnecessary to activate the “Auto Channel Preset”
option.
Switching between antenna A and B
To watch broadcasts via the two antennas, press ANT on the
remote control.
• While watching a broadcast, press ANT to view the feed from
the other antenna.
• While watching in the 2-screen mode (TV image and video
image) with TV selected, press ANT to view the feed from the
other antenna.
• Pressing ANT while watching in the 2-screen mode with two
TV images displayed has no effect.
