For Your Information:
*
Coaxial connection (RF connector) is recognized as the threaded connector, commonly
called cable, screw on or coaxial connector which carries the image (picture) and sound
(audio) through a single cable.
Composite connection (RCA connectors) is recognized by the three (yellow, red and
white) standardized color coded RCA connectors. Yellow carries the image (picture); red
(right channel) and white (left channel) carry the sound (audio) of the signal.
Component connection (RCA connectors) is recognized by the three (green, blue and
red) standardized color coded RCA connectors for image (picture) plus the two (red and
white) standardized color coded RCA connectors for the sound (audio) of the signal.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection (HDMI connector) is
recognized by the standardized elongated D-Shaped connector which carries both the
image (picture) and the sound (audio) of the signal through a single cable.
S-Video (separate video) connection (4-pin Mini-DIN connector) is recognized by the
small connectors at the end of a cable with multiple pins in it. This connection carries only
the image (picture) of the signal; therefore, there is a need to supply a separate sound
(audio) signal by using the two (red and white) standardized color coded RCA connectors.

If you have an HD service you must use the HDMI (best) or Component connection.
NOTE: Composite or S-Video Cables can only be used for SD (480i) pictures.
Turn on your Cable Box, VCR, External TV Tuner or Satellite Receiver and you will see a picture on your TV set. If there is not a
picture, make sure you have selected the correct input on the TV set.
If the selected input is RF connection, you should be aware that the TV set needs to be on either channel 3 or channel 4 matching the
channel which has been selected on the back of the VCR, Cable Box, External TV Tuner or Satellite Receiver; please refer to Owner or
User's Manual of such equipment for details.
NOTE: The TV set will be displaying any television station or program selected by the Cable Box, VCR, External Tuner or Satellite Receiver. The TV
set will not be able to change programs or channels; this is controlled by the equipment sending the signal. If the service being used includes a box
with two different outputs for two different (distant) rooms, then scanning channels should help to find the signal. Be aware that the channel to be
selected varies from provider to provider, meaning you may have to call your provider company so they can provide you with the specific channel to use
with high-definition TV sets. Some examples of these channels are: 105, 106, 115 and 116.
Programming Your Cable or
Satellite Box Remote
