Installation Con gur at ions & Ne t Co mma nd™S e t up

With this book you will nd f ol d- out pages t hat show 6 over vi ew d i agr ams of st andar d, pr e- established system connections, called con gur at ions. These di agr ams speci fy t he i nput s to use on the TV and on the NetCommand™ supported Audio Video (A/V) Receivers.

Later pages in this book will show details on how to connect devices to individual TV inputs.

Use the con gur at ion t hat mo st cl osel yma t ches t he devi ces you wi sh t oconnect tot he TV. Connect those devices as closely as possible to the diagram. It is OK if you cannot match the diagram perfectly. The NetCommand™ setup system will allow you to alter the con gur at ion t oma t ch changes you need t oma ke. If you do not have one of the devices speci ed i nt he con gur ati on, the Net Comma n d™se t up syst emwi l l give you the

option to select “None” for that device. As an example, if you do not have an A/V receiver, connect the left and right stereo audio cables from each device directly to the TV. In the NetCommand™ Setup system you will be given the opportunity to specify “None” for A/V receiver and the TV will know to use the TV speakers for all sound. You can use brands and/or models of devices that are not supported by NetCommand™ by selecting “Other”. On the nal scr een f or the set up t her e i san “ Edi t” opt ion. The edi t opt ion wi ll al low y ou t o change the settings; for instance you can select a different TV input or A/V receiver input to use with a device, add a device that is not in the original con gur at ion, or gi ve a di ffer ent name to the device. The setup can also be edited at a later date, from Setup in the TV menu, to adjust to changes in your system.

IR Emitter-Repeater

These emitters are not used by NetCommand, but will repeat any IR command received by the TV. These emitters allow the TV to be the remote control sensor for other devices that are outside of the range of the handheld remote control. Do not use these repeaters with devices that can receive the remote control signal directly, as the signals can interfere with each other.

Part II: Installation

Warning: Do not leave stationary, toolbar, or partial images on-screen for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.

The VGA capability of this television is designed for occasional use ONLY.

It is not meant to be used as a work station or to view static or odd-shaped images for an extended period of time. Any device connected to your television via the VGA port, including, but not limited to, personal computer, game system, or digital set-top box, must have its screen saver function activated to prevent damage to the television. We DO NOT recommend the use of any external device that does not have a screen saver function with this television.

We recommend that screen saver activation time be set to less than ve minutes when using a device through the VGA port. You should also use lower brightness and contrast settings. If your computer programs allow, toolbars should be set to hidden mode.

Please remember that most computer programs and video game systems display static images, such as boxes, buttons, tool bars, and game scores that can damage the television if used for extended periods of time, repeatedly, or frequently.

The VGA input will automatically select the “Standard” screen format and ll the screen. No other formats are available with the VGA Input. Standard television overscan is used, so VGA images will be cropped on all sides. Resizing of some displays may be required. Consult your owner’s manual for computers, computer programs and game systems for assis-

tance with resizing display images. Please see page 70 for an explanation of uneven picture tube aging.
