Connecting an antenna, cable TV, or
satellite TV box

If you are connecting a satellite TV or cable box, you can use
one of the following (if available):

• Best - HDMI cable
• Better - Video component cables
• Good - Video composite cable
• Acceptable - 75-ohm coaxial cable.

To connect an antenna, cable TV, or satellite TV box:

• Connect one end of a 75-Ohm, coaxial cable to the ANT/CABLE

IN jack on the back of the TV, then connect the other end of the
cable to the antenna or cable TV wall jack.

Notes:

• We recommend using a 75-Ohm, coaxial cable to reduce interference

and noise that may be caused by radio wave transmissions.

• Do not bundle the coaxial cable with the power cord or any other

cables.

• If you are using an antenna and reception is not good, contact a

service technician to adjust the antenna.

Connecting a VCR, camcorder, or game
console

Note: If the VCR, camcorder, or game console has component jacks

(better), or an HDMI jack (best), connect them using the best available

camcorder, or game console is turned off.

the external device.

3 Connect the audio connectors of the AV cable (the red and white

connectors) to the AV OUT AUDIO jacks of the external device,
then connect them to the AV IN1 or AV IN2 L and R jacks on the
back of your TV.
