Understanding video connections
Warning To prevent electrical shock, unplug your LCD TV before connecting
any external components. To restart your LCD TV, see “Tu rning on
the power” on page 10.
Your LCD TV has four types of standard video connections. You should use the best
connection available to get the best display. For example, if your DVD player suppo rts a
component video connection, connect the DVD player to your LCD TV using component
video instead of composite video or S-Video.
Connection Quality Cable and Connector Description
Basic Coaxial (RF). The video and au dio si gnals are
both carried in one cable (the other three
connection types only handle video, and
require separate connections for sound).
Coaxial is the only way to connect an antenna
to your LCD TV.
Good Composite. The video signal is carried through
a single “pin.” This connection method is the
one that is most commonly found on devices.
Better S-Video. The video signal is split into two
signals, black-and-white and color. Text
displayed on-screen through this connection
will be noticeably sharper than composite or
coaxial (RF).
Best Component. The video signa l is split into thre e
signals, two color, and one black-and-white.
Use component video to tak e adv antage of the
superior picture provided by signal sources as
HDTV and DVD.

information on using the OSD, see “Using the on-screen display” on page 31. For
information about using the remote control, see your remote control user guide.
Important Viewing mode and volume are saved based on input. For example,
you last wa tched a D VD i n widescreen mode and at high v olume , and
then watched TV in standard mode and low volume. When you s witch
back to DVD input, the viewing mode will return to widescreen and
your volume will be high.

Important safeguards
Warning Risk of electric shock - Do not open
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do no remove the back cover.
There are no user-serviceab le parts inside. Rem oving the bac k co ver
voids the warranty.
Have your LCD TV repaired by qualified service personnel only.
Warnings and precautions
■ Do not place your hands, face, or objects close t o the ventilation openings of your
LCD TV. The top of your LCD TV gets very hot from exhaust air that is released through
the ventilation openings. Burns or personal injuries may occur if you are too close to
the LCD TV. Damage may occur if you place any object near the top of your LCD TV.
■ Disconnect all cables before moving your LCD TV . Moving your LCD TV with its cables
attached may damage the cables and cause fire or electric shock danger.
■ Do not expose your LCD TV to rain or moisture.
■ Keep your LCD TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures, moisture, or direct
sunlight.
■ Use your LCD TV in a well-ventilated area and do not cover the ventilation openings.
■ Do not modify your LCD TV or use an unshielded power cord or video input source
cable, or you may experience excessive interference.
■ Disconnect your LCD TV and unplug the power cord when not used for a long period
of time.
■ If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your LCD TV, then disconnect
it from the electrical outlet. Make sure that your video input source cable is connected
correctly, then reconnect your LCD TV to the electrical outlet.
■ Disconnect your LCD TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing
maintenance. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp cloth for
cleaning.
■ Do not place your LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your LCD TV may fall,
causing serious damage.
■ Do not place your LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces.
■ Never place your LCD TV near or over a radiator or heat so urce.
■ Do not install your LCD TV in an enclosed area unless correct ventilation is provided.
■ Your LCD TV should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the label.
If the type of available power is unknown, consult your electrician or local power
company.
44
www.gateway.com
■ Your LCD TV is equipped with a 3-pin grounded plug. The plug will only fit into a
grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you cannot plug the power cord into
the outlet, contact your electrician. Do not alter the plug because this will defeat the
safety feature.
■ Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing the power cord near high traffic
areas.
■ Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.
■ Unplug your LCD TV and contact qualified service personnel if:
■ The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
■ Liquid has been spilled into your LCD TV.
■ Your LCD TV has been exposed to water or moisture.
■ Your LC D TV does not operate normally when the operating instructions are
followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
Incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage which often requires
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your LCD TV to normal
operation.
■ Your LC D TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the screen
■ Do not use substances such as glass cleaners, solvents, and thinners.
■ The screen of your LCD TV has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using
only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
■ If the surface is particular dirty, use a soft cloth and water to clean the screen. Squirt
a little water on the cloth (never directly on the screen), then wipe the screen with the
cloth.
Warning The screen of your LCD TV is made of specially coated glass and
can be scratched or dam aged by abras ive or ammonia-bas ed window
cleaners.
Scratches on the bezel or glass are not covered by your warranty.
■ Do not scratch or hit the surface of the screen with your fingers or any hard objects.
www.gateway.com
45
Cleaning the exterior
■ Y our LCD TV is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so keep the vents
free of dust. With your LCD TV turned off and unplugged, brush the dust away from
the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any water into the vents. Do not
attempt to clean dust from the inside of your LCD TV.
■ Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on
components.
■ Do not allow any excessive water or moisture to come into contact with the surface
of your LCD TV. If water or moisture gets inside your LCD TV, operating problems and
electrical and shock hazards may result.
■ Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with your fingers or any hard objects.
■ Do not place articles made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods
of time.
Troubleshooting
Use the following information to solve common problems.
You cannot see a picture

www.gateway.com
■ Make sure that the video input source is within the range of your LCD TV. Compare
the video input source’s specifications with your LCD TV specifications.
The display imag e does not co ver the en tire screen
■ If you are using VGA mode, make sure that H Size and V Position in the OSD are set
correctly.
■ If you are using TV, AV1, AV2/S, or component (DVD or HDTV) with 480i input, use
the WIDE button on the remote control to scroll through various screen modes.
You can see a picture but you cannot hear sound
■ Make sure that the volume is not turned down.
■ Make sure that the sound is not muted.
■ Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.
The L CDTV has pixels that are alwa ys bright , dark, or color ed
■ Your LCD TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology.
However, sometimes some pixels of your LCD TV may not display. Pixel defects within
industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a
defective product.
You see “noise ” or “tra sh” on the screen
■ When your LCD TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is
up-converted (increased) to match your LCD TV’s display capabilities. Up-converting
can cause noise or trash.
Screen brightness is diminished
■ Video display devices experience degradation of brightness over the life of the device.
Normal brightness degradation is not covered by your warranty.
You switch to a different input and the v olume change s
