ANTENNA /
CABLE
Connect your regular cable to the TV’s ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT to receive analog
channels or connect an antenna to the TV’s ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT to receive off-air
local digital and analog channels.
Note: If you have regular cable, your TV is able to receive some digital channels (using
the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT) because it has a capability called QAM. QAM is a tuner
that enables reception of unscrambled digital cable content. Check with your cable
provider for information about content availability in your area. Refer to Step 3,
Operate Your TV, for information on digital channels.

If you’re connecting a cable box or satellite receiver, use the chart above to help
