Connecting an antenna/cable TV
system without a VCR
To cable or antenna
Although you can use either an indoor or outdoor
antenna with your projection TV, we recommend that
you connect an outdoor antenna or a cable TV system
to get better picture quality.
Connecting an antenna
Connect your antenna cable to the VHF/UHF antenna
terminal. If you cannot connect your antenna cable
directly to the terminal, follow one of the instructions
below depending on your cable type.
To cable box and cable
Pay cable TV systems use scrambled or encoded signals
requiring a cable box* in addition to the normal cable
connection.
* The cable box will be supplied by the cable company.
Note
• You cannot watch the signal through an AUX connector as a
window picture.
