Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all devices before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the TV and/or device before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Using a surge protector can help prevent damage to your TV from electrical power surges. In
case of lightning, unplug your TV.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions packed separately.
Protect Devices from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the devices. Arrange the devices so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack devices.
• If you place devices in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it won’t flow around other devices. Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place devices above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV
instead of straight down the middle of the TV.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft
or indirect lighting.
Chapter 1: Connections & Setup
Get the Picture
The first part of connecting your TV is to get a signal. The back
panel of your TV allows you to receive analog channels by using the
ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT and digital channels by using the
ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT. The graphic to the left shows
these inputs.

What You Need to Know
• This television is equipped with a QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) tuner that enables reception of
unscrambled digital cable content. Check with your cable provider for information about content availability in
your area.
• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the off-air local digital
channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you what local analog and
digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
• When you get to the Auto Channel Search screen in the Initial Setup, make sure you set the signal type for using
a digital signal source. (You can also choose Both, digital and analog). To complete a channel search now, go to
page 13.
• When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to the Digital Input. Press the ANTENNA
button to tune to the Digital Input. Go to page 15 for more information.
When using both of these jacks, use the ANTENNA button on the
remote to toggle between the digital and analog signals.

Note: You may experience a delay of several seconds before digital pictures appear, both when
you first turn on the digital signals and when you change channels. This is normal. Check with
your local cable company for available content.
What You Need
• Antenna (“rabbit ears”) or outdoor antenna with a coaxial cable. Plug the antenna
or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT to
receive free off-air local digital channels.
OR
• Coaxial cable from a cable outlet. Plug the coaxial cable into the ANTENNA/CABLE
DIGITAL INPUT to receive your digital cable channels.
OR
• You can use a signal splitter (shown at left) to divide the signal from one cable
or antenna source to connect to both the ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT and
ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT jacks on the TV. When you get to the Auto
Channel Search screen in the Initial Setup, make sure you set the signal type to Both
(digital and analog).

Choose Your Connection
There are several ways to connect your TV, depending on the devices you want to connect and the quality of the
signal you want to achieve. A connection using Y Pb Pr jacks is excellent, S-Video is very good and antenna or cable
input is fair. Connections will vary according to the types of outputs jacks each external device can accommodate (i.e.,
DVD players usually have Y Pb Pr outputs but video game consoles do not).
Please use the following chart to determine which connection is best for you.
Note for U.S. customers: If you prefer, we can provide you with the name of an Authorized Service Representative
who will visit your home for a fee to install your electronic entertainment system and to instruct you in its operation.
For details about this service, call 1-888-206-3359. For additional assistance while using your RCA product, please visit

IMPORTANT - If you aren’t receiving a picture with this connection, the problem
might be with your DVD player. If the DVD player is a “progressive scan” DVD player,
you need to change the setting from progressive to interlace. The procedure for
changing this on a DVD player varies. Look for a button on the front of the DVD player
(it might be called resolution or display), or see if there is a switch on the back (it might
be labeled “int/prog” or something similar), or the item might be in the menu system of
the DVD player. Consult your DVD player owner’s manual for instructions.
Connecting the Device
This connection allows you to connect a device that has Y Pb Pr jacks, for example, a DVD
player. If the device you are connecting also has S-Video or composite video, we recommend
you use the component video input for better quality.
The illustration shows how to connect a DVD to your TV using component (Y Pb Pr) and
audio cables.
