Connecting the TV

Overview

Making Video and Audio Connections

Your new LCD Projection TV can receive both analog and digital broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV.

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and choose the correct display format (see Wide button on page 50). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the TV.

The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV, use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video performance, as described below.
