(This is convenient if you are using a separate rooftop antenna to receive additional channels that are not provided by your cable TV company.) ❑ Do not have a cable box or VCR. (If you have a cable box, see pages 31 and 32. If you have a VCR, see pages 35 and 36.)

Press ANT to switch back and forth between the LCD projection TV's VHF/UHF and CABLE inputs. ✍ For optimum picture quality, a 75-ohm coaxial cable antenna connection is highly recommended. Radio waves and other interference can easily affect a 300-ohm twin lead cable, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away as possible from the LCD projection TV. ✍ Do not use an indoor antenna, which is especially susceptible to radio noise. 30
