Images aremuch more distinct and free of flicker, and motion is smoother.Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated HighDefinition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays terrestrial ATSC andunscrambled cable (QAM) signals.HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider broadcastsHDTV signals.There are 2 ways to get HDTV content:- via cable,- via antenna.Note: This drawing is used wherever you can connect cable or antenna.- Cable TVConnect the cable TV signal to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω : jack at the bottomof the TV.Note: this connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by thestation you are watching.- Cable box with RF IN/OUT• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable IN jack 1 on the back ofthe cable box.• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the TO TV jack on the back of thecable box to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω : jack 2 at the bottom of the TV.Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack, such asOUTPUT or OUT.• Set the OUTPUT CH switch 3 of the cable box to CH 3 or 4 (whichever iscorrect for your cable box), then tune the TV to the corresponding channel.Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV.
