Welcome to HDTV
High Definition refers to a new way of sending programming information over the airwaves and into your TV. There
are two types of TV display formats available. One is ATSC format, which originated from the Advanced Television
Systems Committee. The other is NTSC format, which is named for the National Television System Committee. What
makes your High Definition Television (HDTV) special is that it has tuners capable of receiving several types of
signals: analog (in NTSC format) and digital (in ATSC format), cable (in NTSC and ATSC formats), and digital satellite
and high definition satellite (coming from DIRECTV if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming†). This TV makes
receiving all types of signals seamless. Below is an example of how your HDTV can receive the different types of
signals.

Parts of a Complete High Definition System
So why is it called High Definition? Definition—commonly called resolution—refers to the sharpness of the image
and is determined by the number of dots, or pixels, your screen uses to create the image. The more pixels the sharper
the image. An HDTV normally has either 1080 or 720 rows and over 1,000 columns of pixels. This results in a
display of over one million pixels. Your HDTV also has a wide screen, or “wide aspect ratio” of 16:9 as opposed to
the common 4:3 ratio. It is normally capable of displaying both interlaced images (like today’s analog TVs) and
progressive images (like a computer monitor).
What this all means is that while digital broadcasting will bring many new possibilities, only people with HDTVs like
yours will actually be capable of realizing many of them. A wide aspect ratio, one million pixel resolution, CDquality audio with Dolby Digital surround sound, and improved interactivity are features of many digital broadcasts,
and your HDTV will help bring it all into your home.
† Receipt of DIRECTV programming is subject to the terms of the DIRECTV Customer Agreement, a copy is provided with your first
billing statement. DIRECTV and DIRECTVis a trademark of DIRECTV, Inc., a unit of Hughes Electronics Corp., and is used with
permission.
* The appearance of your satellite dish antenna may differ from that shown here. If your satellite dish antenna is round instead of oval,
you can receive programming from only one DIRECTV satellite.

COMPONENTS
During the satellite dish antenna installation, the TV may have been connected
with just a coaxial cable for the system test. Depending on what components you
have, another connection may provide better picture and audio quality. The
following sections provide cable and connection information to help you decide
what connection is best for you.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CONNECTING
COMPONENTS
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or
disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
Remote Control
Power Cord
• Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel instead of
straight down the middle after you connect your components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables; keep them away from the audio/video
cables as much as possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the safety
sheet packed with your unit.
Protect Your Components from Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the
components so that air can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so that heated air rising from it
will not flow around other components.

Setup and Connections
JACKS AND CABLES
Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make connections.
Note that not all cables come with your television unit.
S-Video Jack and Cable
The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your system.
This jack is available on this TV and is used in conjunction with audio cables.
Remember also to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video
jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality.
Theses jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components.
The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right
audio, and white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio
(mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV.
S-Video Jack
Audio/Video Jacks
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
The RF jacks are necessary for reception of off-air broadcasts, cable, and
DIRECTV signals.
These jacks are required for antenna or cable connections. The RF and coaxial
jacks on the TV are labeled SATELLITE IN, ANTENNA A IN, and ANTENNA B
IN. An RG-6 coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal distribution.
Optical Jack and Cables
The optical cable is used for connecting a Dolby Digital receiver. If you own a
Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, you can use an
optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality.
Telephone Jack and Cord
The telephone line cord is required to connect your TV to a phone line. If you
choose to subscribe to DIRECTV® programming, some services require this
phone line connection. The phone line connection is used to periodically call
out to DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you
don’t have a modular jack, call your local telephone company to find out how
to get one installed.
RF Jack
Digital Audio
Out Jack
Phone Jacks
Y, PB, PR Jacks and Cable
The Y, PB, PR jacks allows you to connect an optional component video source,
such as a DVD player. This connection provides optimum quality by
maintaining the video source as three separate signals through these jacks. To
ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the
connection.

CONNECTING A STEREO AMPLIFIER
1. Use RCA cables to connect either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT from
the monitor to an A/V receiver.
• FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the monitor. This audio output is
ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver that has its own volume control.
• VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled
by the volume controls on the monitor and monitor remote control.
2. Use speaker wire to connect the monitor to external speakers.
• The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn speakers on or off. EXT sends
audio to external and internal speakers. INT sends audio only to the monitor’s
internal speakers.

The FIXED/VARIABLE
OUT jacks on the back
panel provide a fixed or
variable audio signal.
When connected to
“variable”, they are ideal
for use with an audio
amplifier that does not
have its own remote
volume control. When
connected to “fixed,” the
output volume stays the
same no matter how the
volume changes on
the TV.

HOW TO USE Y OUR UNIVERSAL REMOTE
In this section you will find out how to use your
universal remote control. This section:
• defines the buttons on the remote control.
• describes how you toggle between TV “mode”
and DIRECTV “mode.”
• shows you how to change between analog
terrestrial, digital terrestrial, and DIRECTV
channels.
• walks you through using the PIP (picture-inpicture) feature.
• describes how to program the remote to control
other devices such as a VCR.
Important: Because this universal remote can control
several different components (TV, VCR, etc.), it uses
operational modes triggered by the component
buttons. For example, if you want the remote to
control the VCR, you would press the VCR button to
put the remote into VCR mode so you could control
the VCR.

enter the channel numbers. The diagrams below show how your remote control
communicates with the three sources.
