If you connect to an antenna
Any DTV programs that are broadcast in your area can be received for

free through an antenna connection.
Contact your local content provider or your local electronics retailer if

you are unsure about what HDTV programs are available in your area.
Broadcasters are transitioning from analog to digital TV. This means that

a given broadcaster can have channels available either in analog or in

digital, or both analog and digital at the same time.
The TV produces stereo sound only if a stereo signal is broadcast.

If you connect to a cable
When your TV is connected to the cable socket, you might receive free

digital and high definition programs (depending on your cable provider).

The channel number for digital and high definition channels includes a

dot “•”. For example, 11.1, 46.30, 108.201. Contact your cable provider

for more information.

If you connect to a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite)
There are two main DBS systems : DirecTV and DishNetwork. These

systems require a separate, proprietary set-top box to decode signals

and send them to the TV. The set-top box contains a digital TV tuner for

receiving off-air digital broadcasts.
Contact your local DBS provider for more information about the

connections and the TV channels.

If you connect to a set-top box
A cable box or satellite set-top box can be connected to the TV

through the following connections :
• ANT

• A/V (Composite Video and Audio)

• YPbPr (Component Video Input)

• HDMI
For information about how to connect a set-top box, see the Quick

Start Guide provided.
