If you receive your RF signal through an antenna that is several years old and con- nects with two small prongs, you will need to purchase a 300 to 75 ohm adapter. It should be available from your local
electronics dealer.
We recommend using a 75 ohm cable for your antenna connection in order to prevent interference.

-The HDMI is not supported in 480i source.
How to connect
1. When Source Devices(DVD Player or Set Top Box) support HDMI.
-If Source Devices have HDMI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to DTV with HDMI Cable .(not supplied with the product).
-If Source Devices support Auto HDMI, automatically, Source Devices divert output resolution in 1920 x 1080i. But if not, resolution divert Manually Setting for reference Manual of Source Devices.
-To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 1920 x 1080i.
-Because HDMI sends Digital Video and Audio with one cable, need not especial Audio Cable for using HDMI Cable.
2. When Source Devices(DVD Player or Set Top Box) supports DVI.
-If Source Devices have DVI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to DTV with HDMI to DVI Cable (not supplied with the product).
-If Source Devices support Auto DVI, automatically, Source Devices divert output resolution in 1920 x 1080i. But if not, resolution divert Manually Setting for reference Manual of Source Devices.
-To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 1920 x 1080i.
-In this case, Audio use other cable. When Source Devices have Fiber Optic Digital Audio Output Connector, Digital Audio DVI Input(DVI) of DTV connect to Fiber Optic Digital Audio Cable (not supplied with the product) or when Source Devices have Analog Audio Output Connector, RGB/DVI Audio Input of DTV connect to Audio Cable (not supplied with the product). And then you can listen to normal Audio.
