Connecting the TV

Basic Connections

Overview

Connecting Antenna
System

To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and choose
the correct display format. It is strongly recommended to connect the cable and
antenna input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality
signal. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the
like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it
as far away as possible from the TV.
The way in which you connect your TV will vary, depending on how your home
receives a signal (antenna and satellite; cable and cable box).
Do not use an indoor antenna, which is especially susceptible to radio noise.

Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.

For best results, use this connection if you have an antenna system.

Precaution on battery use

Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion.
Be sure to follow the instructions below.

= Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.
= Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries

of different types.

= Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the

life of new batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.

= Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable. Chemicals that leak from

batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.

= The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due

to storage conditions.

= If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove the

batteries from the remote control.

Using the Remote
Control

Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the
set. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper
operation.

Cautions regarding use of remote control

= Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do

not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place in
an area with high humidity.

= Do not install or place the remote control under direct

sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

= The remote control may not work properly if the remote

sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or
strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the
lighting or TV set, or operate the remote control closer to
the remote sensor window.

This above illustration is for reference only. The remote sensor may be in
different locations on different models.

Programming your Remote Control

Introduction

A Quick Look at
Programming a Device

Searching for your Code

Your remote lets you control four devices with one easy-to-use, compact unit. After
installing batteries, you can program the remote to control your VCR or DVD, Cable or
Satellite Receivers, Amplifier or Tuner, and Auxiliary devices. To do so, follow the
instructions in “Programming a Device”. For best results, please read and follow all
the remaining instructions. Keep this guide for future reference.

The universal remote control unit can’t be programmed to control a TV with
other brand. It has been preset to control this TV set, and this preset is
unchangeable.

To control VCR or DVD, Cable or Satellite Receivers, Amplifier or Tuner, and Auxiliary
devices, follow these steps. Before proceeding, find the codes for the devices you
want to program in [Manufacturer's Codes] and write them down or highlight them.

To program a DVD Player, portable DVD player, or mobile DVD player, use the
DVD key.

1. Turn on the device (for example, DVD player) and, if needed, load media (for
example, a DVD).

2. Press a device key (VCR/DVD, CBL/ SAT, or AUX).

3. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

4. Enter the first five-digit code for your device. The LED blinks once as each digit is
entered. If the code is correct, the LED blinks twice.

If the LED does not blink twice, repeat steps 2 to 4 and try entering the code again.

5. Aim the remote at the device and press Power. The device should turn off. If it
does not, repeat steps 3 to 5, trying each code for your brand until you find one
that works. If you cannot find a code that works, see “Searching for Your Code”.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for the other devices you want to control. For future reference,
write down each working device code below:

AUX Code:
CBL Code:
CD Code:
DVD Code:
SAT Code:
TNR Code:
VCR Code:

7. Press SET to save and exit

If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed for your

Other Information

Checking the Codes

Changing Volume Lock

If you have set up the remote using the procedure in “Searching for Your Code”, you
may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment. For example,
to find out which code is assigned to your DVD:

1. Press DVD once.

2. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

3. Enter 9-9-0. The LED blinks twice.

4. To view the code for the first digit, press 1. Count the LED blinks (for

example, three blinks = 3), and write down the number in the appropriate
code listing in step 6 under “Programming a Device”.

If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink.

5. Repeat step 4 for the four remaining digits, using 2 for the second digit, 3 for

the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit, and 5 for the fifth digit.

6. To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1 to 5, substituting the device

key for DVD.

The remote comes preset to allow independent volume control of each selected
device (Global Volume Unlock). However, you may change the Volume Lock setting
to Global Volume Lock so that one device's volume will control volume in all other
modes. After that, you can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to
set its volume control for independent operation or Global Volume Unlock to remove
all volume locking.

Locking Volume Control to One Mode (Global Volume Lock)

1. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

2. Enter 9-9-3 and then press the mode key for the device you want to control volume

(for example, DVD). The LED blinks twice. Now when you press VOL+, VOL-, or
Mute, the selected device (for example, DVD) will control the volume regardless of
the current mode.

Troubleshooting

Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Global Unlock)

1. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

2. Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL+. The LED blinks four times.

Volume is now independently controlled for all programmed devices.

Unlocking a Single Device's Volume Control

1. Press a device key (VCR/DVD, CBL/ SAT, or AUX).

2. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice; then release.

3. Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL-. The LED blinks four times.

Volume is now independently controlled for the selected devices.

Problem Solution

LED does not blink when you
press a key.

LED blinks when you press a key,
but device does not respond.

LED blinks one long blink.

Remote does not control devices
or commands are not working
properly.

Replace new batteries.

Make sure the remote is aimed at your device and is
not more than 15 feet away.

An entry error has occurred (for example, wrong key).
Try entry sequence again.

Try all listed codes for the device. Make sure the
device operates with an infrared remote control.
