Connecting an antenna, cable TV, or
satellite TV box
If you are connecting a satellite TV or cable box, you can use
one of the following (if available):
•Best - HDMI cable
• Better - Video component cables
• Good - Video composite cable
• Acceptable - 75-ohm coaxial cable.
To connect an antenna, cable TV, or satellite TV box:
• Connect one end of a 75-Ohm, coaxial cable to the ANT/CABLE
IN jack on the back of the TV, then connect the other end of the
cable to the antenna or cable TV wall jack.
Notes:
• We recommend using a 75-Ohm, coaxial cable to reduce interference
and noise that may be caused by radio wave transmissions.
• Do not bundle the coaxial cable with the power cord or any other
cables.
• If you are using an antenna and reception is not good, contact a
service technician to adjust the antenna.
Connecting a VCR, camcorder, or game
console

connectors) to the AV OUT AUDIO jacks of the external device,
