Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna/satellite or cable system is to be connected to the LCD TV, make sure that the
antenna/satellite or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements of the grounding electrode.

1.4.1-Insertion of Batteries in the Remote Control

Insert two AA batteries into the remote control. Make sure that you match the (+) and (-) symbols on the
batteries with the (+)and (-) symbols inside the battery compartment. Re-attach the battery cover.

Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:

•Only use the specified AA batteries.

•Do not mix new and old batteries. This may result in cracking or
leakage that may pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury.

•Inserting the batteries incorrectly may also result in cracking or
leakage that may pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury.

•Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and
regulations.

•Keep the batteries away from children and pets.

1.4.2-Remote Control Range

•Point the remote control at the remote control sensor to transmit the commands.

•Do not place any obstacles between the remote control and the receiver window.

•The effective range of the remote control is approximately 32 feet(10 meters) from the front of
the receiver window, 30° to the left and right, 20° up and down.

1.4.3-Precautions for the ASTAR Remote Control

•The remote control should be kept dry and away from heat sources. Avoid humidity.

• If the display responds erratically to the remote control or does not respond at all, check the batteries. If
the batteries are low or exhausted, replace them with fresh batteries.

• When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries.

• Do not take apart the batteries, heat them, or throw them into a fire.

• Do not subject the remote control to undue physical stress, such as striking or dropping it.

• Do not attempt to clean the remote control with a volatile solvent. Wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.

Chapter 2 - Connecting Equipment

2.1- Which Video Connection Should I Use?

The ASTAR LTV-40HBG HDTV has six different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic
connection to the most advanced for digital displays.

Connector

Rear Panet

Digital HD(HDMI-High-Definition
Multime-dia Interface)- It is the first and
only industry-supported, uncompressed,
all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI
provides an interface between any
audio/video source, such as a set-top
box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an
audio and/or video monitor, such as a
digital television(DTV),over a single
cable.

DTV RF comes from AIR or CABLE. When
used for MPEG2 encoded bit streams from
ATSC broadcast programming, this input
takes advantage of the High Definition content.

Analog VGA(RGB)-This video input has
separate red, green and blue color
components. The signal carries
horizontal and vertical sync information
on the green signal. This is most
commonly used for PC input.

Analog HD1/HD2(Component)-The
video signal is separated into three
signals, one containing the black-and­white information and the other two
containing the color information. This
enhancement over S-Video takes
advantage of the superior picture
provided by progressive scan DVD
players and HDTV formats.

Description

S-Video-The video signal is separated into
two signals one containing the black-and -white
information and the other containing the color
information. Separating the color in this way
avoid "cross color" effects where closely spaced
black and white lines are erroneously displayed
in color. It also enables text to be displayed more
sharply.

AV1/AV2- The complete video signal is
carried through this single pin connector.
This is the most commonly used video
connection.

TV Cocoaxial RF comes from AIR or CABLE.
This is the connection for standard NTSC TV
using antenna or cable. If you have a VCR,
you can connect your antenna/cable to the
VCR RF Output to this connector.
