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 8.
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.
