CABLE

CABLE/ANTENNA

O Basic connections to the TV

Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and
displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.

- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i

(480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan)

video.

- HDTM (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the

1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.

Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a
movie theater. Images are much more distinct, _ree of flicker

and motion is smoother.

Your TV has an integrated HDTV tuner, which receives and
decodes terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM)

signals and displays them. There are two ways to obtain

HDTV content:

- through a cable provider

- through an antenna.

Note: Use the illustrations on the lef_ for cable or Antenna

Watching cable TV programs that don't

require the use of a cable box.

Since you've connected the cable TV signal
directly to the TV's tuner, you can also watch

unscrambled programs by simply tuning to
the desired channel: however, you must first use
Auto program to store available channels in the

Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The
reason is that the RF output on a cable box ._labeled TO TV, OUT
or OUTPUT for example ._will not send a stereo signal to the tuner
(VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

- Cable box with A/V outputs

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal (!) to a signal
splitter (not supplied). The signal splitter enables you to avoid
having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box.
This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO
TV jack. Commonly used labels include OUTPUT or OUT.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on
the signal splitter and to the CABLE/ANTENNA 7S
_r- jack O on the TV.

• Connect another coaxial cable (not supplied) to a
connector on the signal splitter and to the cable IN jack O

on the back of the cable box.

• Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the VIDEO and
AUDIO L and R outputs on the back of the cable box
and to the AV2 video (labeled VIDEO) and AUDIO

(labeled L and R) jacks ® on the back of the TV.

• To view programs from your cable box, first press the
AV button on the remote control.

• Press the cursor down or up buttons until the AV2 signal
source is selected.

• Press the OK button to confirm your selection. The AV2
input source becomes current for the viewing of cable TV
programs through your cable box.

- Antenna

Through an antenna, you can watch any HDTV programs

that are broadcast in your area without paying fees.

If you're not sure what HDTV programming is available in
your area, contact your local content provider or your

local electronics retailer.
Broadcasters are currently transitioning from analog to digital

TV. This means that a given broadcaster will have two
channels on the air, one analog and one digital.
Connect the incoming antenna signal to the (::ABLE/

ANTENNA 75 Q =It" jack at the bottom of the TV.
See page 14 for details on using Autoprogram to store
channels in the TV's memory.

Note:This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV i_ it is
being broadcast by the station you are watching.

- Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)

Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels

available on cable systems, often at a lower price. To view

these channels, you'll need to install a small dish antenna

outside your home.
The two main DBS systems, DirecTV and DishNetwork,
require separate, proprietary set-top receiver boxes to
decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set.
These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-air DTV

broadcasts.
Satellite broadcasters also provide major local

channels, depending on the market in which you live.
DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable
because the are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a
cable line.

DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.

WARNING concerning stationary images on the TV
Screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven aging of the LCD

panel. Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that have constantly moving or changing images. Do
not leave moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not display the same images too frequently; if you

do, subtle "ghost" images can be left on the LCD screen. Sources of stationary images may be Laser discs, video games,
Compact Discs Interactive (CD-i), paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or video tapes.

Here are some common examples of stationary images:

• DVD menus list DVD content.

• Letter box black bars that appear at the top and bottom of the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed

on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This occurs with some DVDs.

• Video game images and scoreboards

• Television station Iogos cause a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are

less likely to damage the picture tube.

. Stock market tickers may appear at the bottom of the TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.
. Shopping channel Iogos, pricing displays may be bright and may appear constantly during the show.

These are usually apper in the same location on the TV screen.

TV Location
. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV

where temperatures can become excessively hot -- for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

. Allow a free flow of air around the TV.

Cleaning

. To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV's power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
. Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.
. When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using

anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the screen with a clean cloth dampened with water.
Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

. Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.
. Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. They may permanently blemish

the cabinet.
