* An adapter is necessary when you are connecting a DVI-equipped device to this TV
(see page 22).
Your new SXRD 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.
To get the most out of your TV, the input signals to the TV (and connected
devices) should use the connections that provide the best video and audio
performance. The chart below shows typical connectors that are currently
available on the latest A/V devices.
