to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be

easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If

you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far away fiom the TV as

possible.

You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page 15).

For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the Quick Setup Guide.
