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. In addition, you may
connect an antenna to the ANT B IN terminal as shown; use an
outdoor antenna to enjoy clearer pictures. 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
• Be sure to connect coaxial cables as shown above. Signal
reception may fail if not properly connected.
• 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 a cable from a
cable TV to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals.
Similarly, do not connect a cable from an antenna to both the
ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals.
• TV Guide 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 is equipped with 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
POD service provided by the cable TV company; the POD stands
for Point of Deployment. This service presents various types of
useful information, using HTML text.
1 Confirm that the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal has been
connected with the coaxial cable from the Cable
Converter.
2 Hold and push the tab of the slot cover on the rear of
the plasma display leftward, and remove the cover
while pulling the tab’s latch downward.
3 Insert the specified CableCARD™ into the Cable CARD
slot as far as it goes.
Note
• Be sure to insert only the specified CableCARD™.
• Do not insert a PC card.
• When you use a CableCARD™, you need not execute Auto
Channel Preset; the CableCARD™ automatically generates a
cable channel list.
