Connect the input source to the TV according to the
type of connection:
■ Antenna or basic cable (TV cable or satellite)
without using a set-top box; see “Connecting the
cable TV or the air antenna” on page 10.
■ Cable or satellite with a separate set-top box; see
“Connecting cable or satellite with a set-top box”
on page 10.
About the Emergency Alert System (EAS)
■ In the case of a national emergency, natural
disaster, or other emergency situation, an EAS
message broadcasts. When this unit receives an
EAS message, if the level of emergency is
comparatively low, an alert text message displays
on screen. If the level of emergency is high, the
receiver is forced-tuned to a details channel.
■ Alert text messages display, and forced tuning
occurs, even during paid programming. Even
when forced tuning is active, the user can still
change the channel.
■ If the unit is forced-tuned to a channel that has
been blocked by Parental Control, the Parental
Control setting is given priority, and the EAS
message is not broadcast.
■ EAS messages may be broadcast not only through
digital cable, but also through analog cable or
over-the-air analog transmission. EAS alert
messages broadcasted through cable are not
received on this TV.
Connecting the cable TV or the
air antenna
Use standard 75-ohm coaxial cable to connect a
ground antenna or cable TV input source to the TV. Use
shielded coaxial cable to reduce radio frequency (RF)
interference.
Optional equipment, cable TV service, and all cables
are sold separately.
1 Connect the input source coaxial cable to the
Ant/Cable connector on the back of the TV.
2 Connect power to the TV; see “Connecting power
to the TV” on page 16.
3 Turn on the TV; see “Turning the TV On and Off
(Standby)” on page 17.
Connecting cable or satellite
with a set-top box
Connecting your TV directly to the audio and video
output of your set-top box assures a more vivid picture
and enhances your viewing enjoyment.
Optional equipment and all cables are sold separately.
You can connect a digital TV set-top box (air or cable)
and other audiovisual equipment by using:
■ Component video and audio cables connected to
Input 1 or Input 2 connectors on the TV.

connectors on the TV.
