Connecting the TV

Making Video and Audio Connections

To display clear crisp pictures, first you must connect your TV correctly and also need to choose the correct display format (see “Changing the wide screen mode” on page 38). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using the supplied 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 includes several types of video inputs. When connecting your TV, use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video performance, as described below.
