Connecting the TV

Overview

Your new LCD TV can receive both analog and digital (HD and SD) broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV company.

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and choose the correct display format (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page 50). It is strongly recommended to connect the cable and antenna inputs 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.

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 to below.
