• 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 a 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 degradation.
