To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and
select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect
ratio (see "Changing the Wide Screen Mode" on page 25). It is strongly
recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using 75-ohm
coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin
lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in
signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far
away from the TV as possible. Do not use an indoor antenna, which is
especially susceptible to radio noise.
You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page
15). For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the separate Quick
Setup Guide.
