Cable connections for watching digital
and/or conventional TV channels
This system is equipped with two terminals for inputting TV
broadcasting signals: ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN. The
ANT/CABLE A IN terminal accepts both digital and
conventional TV broadcasting signals while the ANT B IN
terminal accepts only conventional TV broadcasting signals.
When using cable TV to watch digital and/or conventional TV
channels, connect to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal as shown.
In addition, you may connect an antenna to the ANT B IN
terminal as shown; use an outdoor antenna to enjoy clearer
pictures. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable
with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at
the rear of the Plasma Display.
Connecting VHF/UHF antennas and a Cable
NOTE
• Be sure to connect coaxial cables as shown above. Signal
reception may fail if not properly connected.
• In order to watch cable TV channels, be sure to connect the
cable to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal.
• The ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals must not
receive the same signals. For example, do not connect a
cable from a cable TV to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT
B IN terminals. Similarly, do not connect a cable from an
antenna to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN
terminals.
• TV Guide may not be available in all areas and is not available
with satellite systems. In addition, as content providers move
to digital programming and broadcasting, TV Guide Data
may be unavailable or become unavailable.
Inserting the CableCARD™
The Plasma Display is equipped with a slot for inserting a
CableCARD™. When you are watching digital and/or High
Definition TV channels over cable, the card allows you to use
the POD service provided by the cable TV company; the POD
stands for Point of Deployment. This service presents various
types of useful information, using HTML text.
