Get the Picture
The first part of connecting your TV is to get the picture, also known as a signal. The back panel
of your TV allows you to receive analog and digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE
INPUT. See graphic below for the location of the jack.

of unscrambled digital cable content. If you have regular cable, your TV will receive some digital
channels that are available through a cable connection. Your TV can also receive analog and digital
off-air cable signals from an indoor or outdoor antenna.

What you need to Know
• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local
digital channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you
what local analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna. Once you determine
what type of antenna you need, go to rca.com.
• Depending on your antenna capability, it may be necessary to rotate your antenna and repeat the
channel search to find all off-air channels in your area. To speed this process, uncheck the box
Detect antenna or cable signal. Also to avoid erasing channels already found, uncheck the box
Search channels already in my channel list.
