How to connect analog RF cable to TV with HDTV tuner

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Hi all,

I just bought the following TV - Panasonic PT-60LCX63 and need some
help....

http://catalog2.panasonic.com/weba [...] Redirect=1

The TV has the following tuners:
- NTSC tuner (Standard analog broadcasts)
- ATSC/QAM tuner (SDTV and HDTV broadcasts)

I just have analog cable at home (TVMAX).

At the back of the TV, there are two antenna RF inputs (A and B).
Input A is labeled 'Cable In'.

The instructions say to always connect the cable to A. Only if you
have both (antenna and cable, use A and B).

BUT:
When I connect the RF cable to A, the channel search doesn't find
anything.
When I connect the RF cable to B, all channels are found.

The instruction doesn't say so, but is it possible that input A is
just for digital cable and doesn't accept an analog connection ?
Or should a digital connection be downward compatible with an analog
connection ?

I really don't know what to do. I called the Panasonic support and
they told me there 'MIGHT' be a problem, but they don't know exactly.
I should ask a local dealer. But they also didn't know....

I would like to know if input jack A is broken or really only can be
used for a digital connection.
I normally wouldn't mind to us B, but I just need to know what's
wrong...

Maybe someone is kind enough to look at the manual and tell me what to
do.
The manual can be found here:

Any help is appreciated !
Thank you very much,
Dan.

Oops spoke to soon. Check to see if this tuner is compatible with
your cable system.
