Preparation 05 English 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.
