Connecting the TV

Overview

Making Video and Audio Connections

Your new SXRD 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 “Using the WIDE Button” on page 53). 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.

To get the most out of your TV, the input signals to the TV (and connected devices) should use the connections that provide the best video and audio performance. The chart below shows typical connectors that are currently available on the latest A/V devices.
