Connections & Setup Chapter 1
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the 1V/DVD and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV[DVD.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't
flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components abovethe lV/DVD, route all cables down the sideof the back of the TV/DVD insteadof straight down the middle of the back of the ]V/DVD.
• If your antenna uses3OO-ohmtwin lead cables,do not coil the cables.Also, keepthe twin lead
cablesaway from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your TVIDVDcarefully.Place the IV/DVDon a stand or base that isof adequate size and strength to prevent the TV[DVDfrom being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off.
This could causepersonal injury andlor damage the WIDVD. Referto the Important Safeguardssheet
packedwith your lV/DVD.
Use Indirect Light
Don't placethe ]VIDVD wheresunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen.Usesoft or indirect lighting.
Connection Pictures
Audiolvideo cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).
Types of Discs Your TV/DVD will Play
• DVDdiscs - DVDdiscs contain high quality picture and sound content.
• Audio discs - Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only.
• Video CD discs - Like DVDvideo discs, Video CDscontain picture and sound content. The difference is
the amount of information that can be stored on the disc.
• MP3 discs - A disc that contains audio files (for example, a CD-R with downloaded MP3 files).

TV program listings for your area, and to tune directly to a channel when the program guide is on your TV screen.

to locate the sensor.
1. Turn off the VCRand!or cable box.
2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your lV/DVD, but the one that came with the
cable box and!or VCR to which you're attaching the G-LINK cable) so that it is touching the front of the component.
3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or cable box) while you press the power button on and off. You must press and release the power button each time you move the remote (holding down the button won't work).

3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.
Plug in the TV/DVD
Plug the end of the power cord into the wall outlet. Match the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Insert the plug completely into the outlet.
Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to move
through the menu system.
How to Use the Remote Control to Complete
the Interactive Setup
The technical term is "Navigation" - how you move through the on- screen menus. The theory is the same throughout the menu screens:
highlight your choice and select it.
To highlight a menu item, press the arrow buttons on the remote to
highlight one of the items listed on the screen. Use the up or down
arrow button to move up or down. Usethe right or left arrow button to

Note:Pressingthe?Vbutton not only turns on the TV,butputs theremoteinto TVmode."TVmode"meansthat the buttons on the remotecontrol operatetheTV'sfunctions.
Complete the Interactive Setup
The menu system in your lV allows the 1V's features to work properly. In this book, we call it the
"interactive setup" because the 1V asks you questions, you answer, and the 1M makes the appropriate adjustments. The first time your 1M/DVD is in 1V mode, the setup screens appear.
Set the Menu Language
The first part of the SETUPasks you to select your preferred language for the menu system.
1. Highlight your preferred language for the menu system.

Using Different Menus
Eachdisc isprogrammed with different features. Thereare three separate menu pathsthat you can use to accessfeatures:
The Disc menu - The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD's menu system. The
contents of each disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features are included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button on the
remote.
• The DVD's Info Display - The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It's turned on and off with the INFO
button on the remote.
• The DVD's menu system - The DVD's menu system is accessed only when a disc isn't playing. It appears automatically when the STOPbutton is pressed.
A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. If a menu item is "grayed out" it means that item isn't available.
