Connecting the Unit
Cable System or VHF/UHF Antenna System
You can enjoy high-definition and standard-definition digital programming (if available in your
area) along with standard-definition analog programming.
This unit is capable of receiving unscrambled digital programming for both cable (QAM and
8VSB) and external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).
Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)
• It is strongly recommended that you connect the CABLE/ANTENNA input using a 75-ohm
coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can easily be affected
by radio frequency interference, resulting in signal degradation.
Cable System and VHF/UHF Antenna System
Use an optional A-B RF switch (not
supplied) to switch between the cable
and over-the-air antenna programming,
as shown here.
Set the Cable/Antenna setting found
under the Settings on the XMB
Cable or Antenna for the type of input signal you choose.
HD Cable Box/HD Satellite Box
You can enjoy high-definition programming by subscribing to a high-definition service or a high-
definition satellite service. For the best possible picture, make sure you connect this equipment to
your media receiver via the HDMI or component video (with audio) input located on the rear of the
media receiver.
