PREPARATION

No supplied cables are used in this connection:

Please purchase the necessary cables at your local store.

High Speed HDMI cable (also known as HDMI category 2 cable) is recommended for the better compatibility.

Before you connect...

Be sure your antenna or other device is connected properly before plugging in the AC power cord.

￿Antenna Connection

Connect the RF coaxial cable on your home outlet to the antenna input jack of this unit.

e.g.)

VHF / UHF antenna

RF coaxial cable

or

rear of this unit

cable TV signal

*Once connections are completed, turn on the unit and begin initial setup. Channel scanning is necessary for the unit to memorize all available channels in your area. (Refer to “Initial Setup” on page 17.)

Note:

•If you have any question about the DTV’s antenna, visit www.antennaweb.org for further information.

•Depending on your antenna system, you may need different types of combiners (mixers) or separators (splitters). Contact your local electronics store for these items.

•For your safety and to avoid damage to this unit, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the antenna input jack before moving the unit.

•If you use an antenna to receive analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more effective than settop versions.

•To switch your reception source easily between antenna and cable, install an antenna selector.

•If you connect to the cable system directly, contact the CATV installer.

￿Connection to Cable Receiver or Satellite Box

Use an HDMI or an RCA component video cable to connect the HDMI or the component video input jack of the unit to the HDMI or the component video output jack of the cable receiver / satellite box.

If you connect to the unit’s Component Video Input jack, connect RCA audio cables to the Audio L/R jacks below the Component Video connector.
