To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and select
the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect ratio (see
Changm_ the Wide Scl een Mode" on page 21 ). It is strongly recommended to
connect the antenna/cable
input using the supplied 75-ohm coaxial cable 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 flu away from the TV as
possible.
You can also connect a wuiety of optional equipment to your TV (see page 14).
For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the Quick Setup Guide.
