brightness and will not produce this effect.

To prevent the appearance of residual images:

periods on this or any other LCD projection TV.

Examples of such images include:

Stationary images that may be part of video
games and web pages

Bright, stationary icons overlaid on moving video
Side bars displayed with narrow-format video

(see "Narrow" definition on page 35)

video (see "Expand" definition on page 35)

Mix regular TV and video programming with uses

that display stationary images.

such as dish washing detergent, to the water used to
moisten the cloth. Rinse with a second cloth moist-

ened only with water. Dry with a third dry, soft, non-
abrasive cloth.

1. ANT l/MAIN & ANT 2/AU× (Antenna}

If you are connecting an antenna or direct cable without a

cable box, connect the main antenna or cable source to

ANT l/MAIN. You can also connect another antenna or

cable source to ANT 2/AUX.

ANT l/MAIN and ANT 2/AUX can each receive both

digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF
antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable source.

2. INPUT1&2

(Audio and Video)

INPUT I and INPUT 2 can be used to connect a VCR,

Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite

receiver, or other A/V device to the TV. Please note that
ifS-VIDEO and (Composite) VIDEO are both available,

you must choose to connect only one.

Note: Because S-Video provides a better video signal

than Composite Video, use S-Video if available on the
source A/V device.

3. COMPONENT iNPUT 1 & 2

(Audio and Video)

Y Pb Pr (Support 480i/480p/720p/1080i video formats)

Use these jacks to connect devices with component video

outputs, such as DVD players, external HDTV receivers, or

compatible video game systems. Please see Appendix B
for signal compatibility.

4. HDMI TM 1 & 2 (inputs}

(Both Audio and Video in each HDMI jack)
(Support 480i/480p/720p/1080i video formats)

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video

formats and PCM digital audio format. The WD-62530

model has only one HDMI jack.
Do not connect a computer to either of the HDMI jacks.

Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant

devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player.

These inputs can also accept DVl inputs. To connect a

DVl device, use an HDMI-to-DVl cable adapter plus analog

audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to the

DVI ANALOG AUDIO inputs (#5) on the TV to receive
left and right stereo audio from your DVl device. The WD-

62530 model has only one pair of DVl Analog Audio input
jacks.

These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy

Protection) compliant.

These inputs are Simploy/-/z_"certified for proper interoper-

ability with other products certified by Simplay TM.

5. DVl ANALOG AUDIO iNPUT

Use these analog audio inputs when connecting DVI
devices to the TV's HDMI jacks. Unlike HDMI, DVl
does not carry audio information on the same cable. The
WD-62530 model has only one pair of L/R DVl analog jacks.

6. AUDIO OUTPUT L/R

These jacks send analog audio of the program currently

shown on the screen to an A/V surround sound receiver
or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels and

HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If
using an analog A/V receiver or stereo system, this is the

only audio connection needed between it and the TV.

7. DiGiTAL AUDIO OUTPUT

This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio to your

digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio from
analog channels and devices is converted by the TV to PCM
digital audio. If you have a digital A/V receiver, in most
cases this is the only audio connection needed between the

TV and your A/V receiver.

8. RECORD OUTPUT

These Composite and L/R Audio jacks send analog video

and audio signals to an external recording device, such
as a VCR. The signals from these jacks are from the
program currently being viewed on the TV screen. To
make recordings from this output, the TV must be in
normal full-screen mode rather than in Split Screen

mode.

= From this output you can record audio and video

signals from ANT 1, ANT 2 and INPUT 1, 2 and 3.

• Digital signals from ANT 1 and ANT 2 are
converted to analog video and audio signals.

Some signals cannot be recorded because of
copy-protection flags in the content.

Before You Begin

Choosing a Language for Menus

When you first power on the TV, you can select either
English or Spanish for all menus. You can later change

the language through the Setup menu.

Figure 1. The Welcome screen lets you change the menu

language when you first power on the TV.

ClearThought ® Easy Connect Auto input

ClearThought automatically recognizes the devices you
connected to TV inputs. The first time you connect each

device you will be prompted to identify it by selecting

from a pre-set list of device names.

Only the names of input devices currently connected will
appear in the Input Selection Menu. This makes it easy

for you to know which input devices are available for you
to use.

The table below defines how connections on each TV

jack are handled.

* If the device is powered off when connected, detec-

tion will occur when the device is next powered on.

Figure 2. The Auto Input Sensing screen appears when a

device is first detected. Select a name for the connected
device in this screen.

Connect your devices to the TV.
The TV and the devices can be either on or off when

connecting. If the TV is powered off, the detection
process will occur the next time you turn on the TV.

2. When the Auto Input Sensing screen opens (figure 2),
you can accept the default name or press ,& V to
select from a list of device names (e.g., cable box,
DVD, Satellite, VCR).

Choose a name that will help you when selecting
inputs in the Input Selection menu.

3. Press EXITto close the screen. If you connected
several devices at the same time, the screen for the
next connection will open.

More About Auto input Sensing

• You can change the input name at a later time using
the Input Name menu.

If you disconnect a device and then later connect a
different device to that jack, open the Input Name
menu to update the device name.

Antenna inputs (ANT l/ANT 2), all audio and all
Record Output jacks are never detected.

Be careful to choose different names for each input.

Required: HDMI-to-HDMI cable. This is not included

with the TV. It may be available at your local electronics

retailer.

Connect an HDMI cable from the TV back panel to the

HDMI device output. HDMI devices provide video and

audio through this cable, so no other connection is

required. There are two HDMI inputs on the TV back
panel (through the HDMI connections (the WD-62530
model has only one HDMI input).

TV Back Panel

HDMI Device

DVI Device (Cable Box, Satellite

Receiver, DVD Player, or Other

Device)

Analog stereo audio cables and a DVI-to-HDMI cable or
DVI/HDMI adapter and HDMI cable are required. These
are not included with the TV. They may be available at
your local electronics retailer.

1. Connect the DVI-to-HDMI cable (recommended) or
HDMI cable with DVl/HDMI adapter from the DVl
device's back panel to the TV back panel.

NOTE: If you are using a DVI/HDMI adapter, it is impor-

tant to connect the adapter to the DVI device for
best performance.

2. Connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO OUT
on the DVI device back panel to the DVI ANALOG

AUDIO INPUT jacks on the TV back panel.
Connect the red cable to the R jack and the white

cable to the L jack.

NOTE: The HDMI connection supports copy protection

(HDCP).
Some devices require connecting to an analog

input first, in order to view on=screen menus and
to select DVI as the ouput. Please review your
equipment instructions for DVl connectivity and
compatibility.
