Basic connections to the TV
Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four
basic DTV picture resolution standards.
- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line
interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan) video.
- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p
formats, always with a widescreen picture.
Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater.
Images are much more distinct and free of flicker, and motion is smoother.
Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated
High Definition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays
terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM) signals.
HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider
broadcasts HDTV signals.
Note: Ask your broadcaster or cable box provider to transmit/enable HD
content to your home, and possibly upgrade to a CableCard for the description
of HD signals.
Note: This drawing is used wherever you can connect cable or antenna.
- Cable TV
Connect the cable TV signal to the
CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω
x jack
at the bottom of the TV. See page 10 for details on using Autoprogram
to store channels in the TV’s memory.
Note: this connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being
broadcast by the station you are watching.
- Cable box with
RF IN/OUT
• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable
IN
jack 1 on the
back of the cable box.
• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the
TO TV
jack on the
back of the cable box to the
CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω
x jack 2
at the bottom of the TV.
Note:Your cable box may have a different label for the
TO TV
jack, such
as
OUTPUT
or
OUT
.
• Set the
OUTPUT CH
switch 3 of the cable box to
CH 3
or
4
(whichever is correct for your cable box), then tune the TV to the
corresponding channel.
Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.
Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The reason is
that the RF output on a cable box - labeled
TO TV
,
OUT
or
OUTPUT
for
example - will not send a stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a
TV.
