* An adapter is necessary when you are connecting a DVI-equipped device to this TV
(see page 20).
Your new LCD projection TV can receive both analog and digital
broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV.
To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and
choose the correct display format (see "Using the WIDE Button" on page
53). It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 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 as possible from the TV.
The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in
the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types
of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of
connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or
satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV,
use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video
performance, as described below.
