To install remote control batteries:
1 Open the battery compartment.
2Insert two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the + and – symbols on the batteries match the + and
– symbols in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery compartment.
Notes:
Make sure that you match the + and – symbols on the batteries with the symbols in the battery compartment.
Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries.
If you do not intend to use the remote control for a extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries non-rechargable batteries. They may overheat and rupture.
Using the remote control
To use the remote control:
•Point the remote control directly at your TV, within a 60° angle horizontally (30° to either side) and within 30° vertically of the remote control sensor on the front of your TV, and within 15 feet of your TV.
Approximately 15 feet
Caution
Do not expose the remote control to liquids, direct sunlight, or shock.
Notes
8 |
Setting up your TV |
Objects between the remote control and the remote control sensor may block the remote control signal.
The range of the remote control may be diminished if direct sunlight or other strong light is shining at the remote control sensor. In this case, change the angle of the lighting, move your TV, or operate the remote control closer to the remote control sensor.
Connecting the power
Notes:
Make sure to insert the cord securely at both the LCD TV and the power outlet.
The AC cord has a grounding-type AC line plug. If the supplied AC cord does not match your AC outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of a grounded plug.
To connect power:
1 Plug the AC cord into the TV’s AC IN jack.
2 Connect the AC cord into an AC power outlet.
Warnings:
Do not connect this TV to power using any device other than the supplied AC cord. This could cause fire, electrical shock, or damage.
Do not use with a voltage other than the power voltage displayed on the marking label of the TV. This could cause fire, electrical shock, or damage.
Do not plug or unplug the plug when your hands are wet. This may cause electrical shock.
Cautions:
When this TV is not used for a long time, (such as, away on a trip) in the interest of safety, make sure that you unplug it from the AC outlet.
If you need to replace the supplied AC c cord, contact customer service.
Connecting an antenna or basic cable
To connect an antenna or basic cable (no cable box):
•Connect one end of a 75 ohm coaxial cable to the antenna or basic cable wall jack, then connect the other end of the cable to the ANT. jack on the back of your TV.
Antenna jack
Coaxial cable
Antenna jack
300-75 ohm matching transformer
Notes:
Always unplug the coaxial cable when you move your TV.
If you want to switch between antenna and cable, install an antenna selector.
If you need help connecting cable TV, contact your cable TV provider.
To connect a combination VHF/UHF antenna with separate VHF and UHF
300ohm twin-lead wires:
1 Connect the UHF 300 ohm twin-lead wire to the combiner (not supplied).
2Connect the VHF 300 ohm twin-lead wire to the 300-75 ohm matching transformer.
3Attach the transformer to the combiner, then attach the combiner to the ANT. jack on the back of your TV.
Connecting a cable or satellite box
Note: Installation methods may vary depending on the type of cable or satellite box. Contact your cable or satellite provider for more information.
To connect a cable or satellite box:
1Connect a 75 ohm cable to the cable or satellite TV wall jack, then connect the other end to the Antenna IN jack on the cable or satellite TV box.

2Connect a 75 ohm coaxial cable to the RF OUT jack on the cable or satellite TV box, then connect the other end to the ANT. jack on the back of your TV.
An alternate method
If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may want to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable TV company or an electronics supply store). Use the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
