Get the Picture

The first part of connecting your TV is to get a signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive analog channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT and digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT. The graphic to the left shows these inputs.

Note: You may experience a delay of several seconds before digital pictures appear, both when you first turn on the digital signals and when you change channels. This is normal. Check with your local cable company for available content.
