In order to watch television programmes broadcast via a satellite
network, you must connect a satellite receiver to the rear of the
PDP. Also, in order to descramble a coded transmission signal, you
must connect a decoder to the rear of the PDP.
Using a Coaxial cable
Connect a coaxial cable to the:
◆Receiver (or Decoder) output socket.
◆Television aerial input socket.
➢If you wish to connect both a satellite receiver (or decoder)
and a VCR, you should connect the:
◆Receiver (or Decoder) to the VCR
◆VCR to the PDP
Otherwise, connect the receiver (or decoder) directly to the
PDP.

Decoder
To view television channels correctly, a signal must be received by
the set from one of the following sources:
◆An outdoor aerial
◆A cable television network
◆A satellite network
1In the first three cases, connect the aerial or network input cable to
the 75Ωcoaxial socket on the rear of the PDP.
2If you are using an indoor aerial, you may need to turn it when
tuning your PDP until you obtain a picture that is both sharp and
clear.
For further details, refer to the user manual:
◆“Storing Channels Automatically” on page 18
◆“Storing Channels Manually” on page 19
➢When installing or re-installing your PDP, be sure to use the
supplied coaxial antenna cable. If you connect using a different
coaxial cable, there is risk of noise or interference to the screen
image. (You must not use another general purpose cable.
Use the 3M/5M/7M cable supplied by Samsung.)
