Connecting the cable TV or air
broadcast antenna

are sold separately.

ANT/Cable In connector on the rear of the TV.

“Operating the TV” on page 21.
Connecting cable or satellite
with a set-top box
Connecting your TV directly to the audio and video
output of your set-top box ensures a more vivid picture
and enhances your viewing enjoyment. See “Choosing
the AV connection to use” on page 10 for connector
and cable information.
Optional equipment and all cables are sold separately.
