Make your connection decision easier by taking a few minutes to review the jacks on your
new TV. Compare the jacks on the device you want to connect and see if the same jacks
are available on your TV. Then refer to the chart below to determine the best connection to
make.
For more information about connecting your TV to other devices, refer to Chapter 1 of the
User’s Guide. Make sure you read the safety information provided at the beginning of the
User’s Guide before you connect and operate your TV.

Connect your TV to cable or an antenna in order to receive TV
channels. Connect the cables as shown in fig.1 or fig.2.
Note: If you have regular cable, your TV is able to receive some digital
channels because it has a capability called QAM. QAM is a tuner that
enables reception of unscrambled digital cable content. Check with your
cable provider for information about content availability in your area.
Refer to Step 3, Operate Your TV, for information on viewing digital
channels.
If you’re connecting a cable box or satellite receiver use the
chart above to help determine which jacks to use for the
best connection. Your cable box or satellite receiver needs
to be high definition if you want to receive high definition
programming. Check with your cable provider for more
information.

channel list. When you change channels, look for an Aat the bottom of the screen to
see if you’re viewing an analog channel; look for a Dto see if you’re viewing a digital
channel.
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might
notice the channels change slower than you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital
channels sometimes take longer to tune.
Entering Channel Numbers
To tune to a channel, enter the channel number and press OK or wait a few seconds for
the channel to tune. Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog
channel number) and subchannels. If 6 is the primary channel and 1 is the subchannel,
for example, the channel looks like 6.1 on screen. To tune to a digital channel with a
subchannel, such as 6.1, enter the primary channel number (6), then press the SUB CH
button. Enter the subchannel number (1) and press OK.
Changing Screen Formats
Your TV allows you to change the format of the picture you're viewing by pressing the
ZOOM +/- button on your remote. Depending on the type of signal you're viewing, you
might not be able to change the format.

There are several things to be aware of when the TV's searches for channels.
If you chose Cable as your signal type, the search takes a while because it's looking for
analog and digital channels, and then it's removing scrambled channels found. Here is what
happens during the search:
1. The search first looks for digital channels and places the number of channels found next
to Digital Channels found. This number will probably seem like a lot. This is because
the number includes both scrambled (for example, Pay Per View) and non-scrambled
channels. These channels are dependent upon what your cable company is sending.
2. The search then looks for analog channels and places the number of channels found
next to Analog Channels found.
3. The search might appear as if it is complete, but as long as the search says Running, it is
still in progress. What's happening at this point is the TV is removing scrambled channels
from the channel list. When the search is finally complete, the Channel setup menu will
look as the picture to the left shows. To exit the menu system, press CLEAR.
