Obtain the Signal

The first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive analog and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT.

Before you connect your TV, you have to determine whether you will be using an antenna or a cable service to obtain the signal.

What You Need

Antenna (Rabbit Ears) or Outdoor Antenna with Coaxial Cable

Plug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV. You are ready to receive off-air local digital and analog channels.

Cable Service

Plug the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV. You are ready to receive your cable channels.

Set-Top Box

If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable company or satellite service provider. They may recommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.

What You Need to Know

¥ Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the local digital channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digital stations available using your antenna.
