Watching Cable TV programs that don’t
require the cable box

Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal
directly to the TV’s tuner, you can also watch the
unscrambled programs by simply tuning to the
desired channel.You must first use Autoprogram,
however, to store channels in the TV’s memory.
See page 10.

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the
TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are
watching.

Basic connections to the TV

Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four basic
DTV picture resolution standards.
- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line interlaced)

or 480p (480-line progressive scan) video.

- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p

formats, always with a widescreen picture.

Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater.
Images are much more distinct and free of flicker, and motion is smoother.

Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated High
Definition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays terrestrial ATSC
and unscrambled cable (QAM) signals.
HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider
broadcasts HDTV signals.

Note: Ask your broadcaster or cable box provider to transmit/enable HD content
to your home, and possibly upgrade to a CableCard for the decription of HD
signals.

There are 2 ways to get HDTV content:
- via cable,
- via antenna.

Note: This drawing is used wherever you can connect cable or antenna.

- Cable TV

Connect the cable TV signal to the 

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 

Ω

x 

jack at

the bottom of the TV. See page 10 for details on using Autoprogram to
store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note: this connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by
the station you are watching.

- Cable box with 

RF IN/OUT

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable 

IN

jack

on the

back of the cable box.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the 

TO TV

(whichever is correct for your cable box), then tune the TV to the
corresponding channel.
Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.

Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The reason is that
the RF output on a cable box - labeled 

TO TV

,

OUT

or

for example -

will not send a stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

- Cable box with A/V outputs

sound to the TV.

Note:Your cable box may have a different label for the 

TO TV

jack, such as

OUTPUT

or 

OUT

.

splitter and to the
