Getting Started

Connecting the TV

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect ratio (see “Changing the Wide Screen Mode” on page 31). It is strongly recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using 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 from the TV as possible. Do not use an indoor antenna, which is especially susceptible to radio noise.

You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page 17). For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the separate Quick Setup Guide.
