The ANT(enna) A input is
intended for use and view- ing on the TV’s main screen. Your home’s pri- mary Antenna, or Cable TV signal, should be con- nected to this input for normal TV setup, use and feature operation.

Note: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon connection of the ANT B input. Its main purpose is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for PIP feature use. Other signal source options (such as a satellite dish sys- tem, additional external antenna, VCR, or Video Game) could also be connected and displayed on the TV screen through the use of the ANT B input.
Note: Although the ANT B input can be used and swapped
as the source for the TV’s Main picture, certain setup fea- tures (such as Smart Clock) are only based on a signal being detected at the ANT A input. To ensure that all features are operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on the ANT B input as your TV’s Main screen signal source.
