Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a b\
rief explanation of the types of connections 
that are used for a coaxial cable. 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 TV set. For connect\
ing the antenna cable to the TV, use 
commercially available cables.

Introduction to Connections
Experiencing HD Images
An HDTV without an HD source is just an ordinary TV.
To enjoy HD images on the TV, you should get HD programming from the fol\
lowing:Over-the-air broadcasting via HD quality antenna
HD cable/satellite subscription
HD compatible external equipment
For information on updating to HD programming, ask your cable/satellite \
service provider.
Types of Connection
Image quality differs depending on the terminal used. To enjoy clearer i\
mages, check the output terminals of your 
external equipment and use its appropriate terminals for higher quality \
images.
 The illustrations of the terminals are for explanation purposes and may\
 vary slightly from the actual products.
