• This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital
programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and
external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).
• It is strongly recommended that you connect the
antenna/cable input using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial
cable to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm
twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio
frequency interference, resulting in signal
deterioration.
