AV IN AUDIO L/R jacks with the VIDEO/Y jack
(used to connect a composite device).
• When you connect the audio using the
AV IN AUDIO L/R jacks, the audio output is
analog.

Notes
• Use a coaxial cable to eliminate interference and
noise from radio waves.
• Do not bundle the coaxial cable with the power
cord or other cables.
• If the antenna is not installed correctly, contact
qualified service personnel to correct the
problem.
• If the signal level for a channel is weak, the
picture may be distorted. Adjust the antenna or
use a highly directional outdoor or set-top
antenna with a built-in amplifier.
• If the picture quality is good on some channels
and poor on others, the problem may be caused
by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster
or cable TV provider.
• If you connect to cable or satellite TV without a
set-top box and experience poor picture quality,
you may need to install a set-top box to improve
signal reception and picture quality. Contact
your cable or satellite TV provider about
upgrading to a set-top box.
• Many high-definition (HD) channels upscale
standard-definition (SD) content. The picture
displayed on your TV is still displayed as SD, thus
the picture quality will not be as clear or crisp as
it would be if the content was originally
recorded in HD.
