SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
STEPI: UNPACK THETV
Make sure to locate the remote control and your GUIDE Plus+ Booklet.
STEP2: CONNECTING YouRTV
There are three types of connections outlined in this section:
TV Only: If you're only going to connect the
TV to your home antenna or cable
system.
The Basic Connection:
If you're going to connect the TV to a
VCR or satellite receiver.
Advanced Connections:
If you're going to make multiple
connections, hooking up the TV to
one or two VCRs, DVD player, and a
satellite receiver.
Cable information and illustrations are given for each type of
connection. Once you have completed your desired connection you
may skip forward to Step 3.
TV ONLY
This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to your TV.
Connect the cable into the Cable/Antenna jack as shown.
CABLES
You will usethe following cable to make your connection:
Coaxial Cable: These cables carry audio and vide()
signal to the TV from an antenna, cable, or
cablebox.
Important Stand Information
Direct View TVs: 13" - 36" diagonal
CAUTION: Choose the location for your
TV carefully. Take precautions that the
stand or other furniture the TV is placed
on is properly located (seeImportant
Safeguardssheet) and of adequate size
and strength to prevent the TV from
accidentally being tipped over, pushed
off, or pulled off. This could cause
damage to the TV and/or personal injury.
p.-
Before You Connect
Protect against power surges:
• Connect all components before
plugging any power cords into the wall
outlet.
• Turn off the TV and/or component
before connecting or disconnecting
any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are
properly grounded. Refer to your Safety
Tips sheet packed with your TV.
CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA
Once you have completed this connection you may skip to Step 3.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
THE BASIC CONNECTION
The basic connection below (TV and VCR) is the most common
connection and is therefore used to illustrate a single component
connection with your TV. For better sound and picture quality and
multiple component connection information refer to the next section,
Advanced Connections.
CABLES
You will use the following cable to make your connection:
Coaxial Cables: These cables carry both the audio
and video signal to the TV from an antenna, cable,
or cablebox. In this connection, a second Coaxial
Cable carries the signal through the VCR to the TV.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
ADVANCED CONNECTIONS
Advanced connections give you better sound and video by separating
the audio and vide() signals and enable you to connect multiple
components.
This section describes the types of inputs available on the back of your
TV and suggests ways you can use them for optirnurn performance.
BACK OF THETV
The diagrarn below describes each of the back panel jacks. When
connecting A/V cables, be sure to connect corresponding OUTPUTS
and INPUTS (Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio, etc.).
Once you have made your connections
you will need to program the TV to tune
to the correct Video INPUT channel in
order to see and hear audio and video
from the component. You will prograrn
this later in the Interactive Setup.
Input 1
Connect any of the folk)wing components:
• VCR • Internet Access Device
• Laserdisc Player • DVD Player
• Satellite Receiver
To view the component connected to Input 1:
Use the WHO-INPUT button on the remote.
Input 2
Connect any of the following components:
* VCR • Internet Access Device
- Laserdisc Player • DVD Player
- Satellite Receiver
To view the component connected to Input 2:

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
SAMPLE CONNECTIONS
The following are sample connection scenarios which you may
encounter when connecting components to your TV. Note: those
components which offer an S-Video connection, such as DVD, VCR or
Satellite Receivers, must match their S-Video connection with their
audio INPUT connection.
CABLES
You will use the following cable to make your connection:
Coaxial Cables: Carries the signal from the
antenna or cable directly to the television or
through a cablebox, as needed by your cable
system.
AudiolVideo Cables: Carries sound and video
from the component to the TV.
S-Video Cable: Carries video from an S-Video
capable component which provides best
picture quality.
TV AND STEREoVCR
CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA
Cautions:
Position cablesto Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
• Insert all cables firmly into jacks.
• Place the audio/video cables to the
sides of the TV's back panel instead of
straight down the middle.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables
and keep them away from the audio/
video cables.
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 heated air rising from it
will not flow around other
components.

The IR (Infrared) Controller enables GUIDE Plus+ Gold" to control your
VCR and cable box (if necessary) so that you can tune to television
channels and even start recording a program from the program guide.
After you have affixed the ends of the controller to the necessary
devices (VCR, or Cable box), you will use the on-screen interactive
setup routine for GUIDE Plus+ to test the connected devices.
The IR Controller is used to send commands to yourVCR
and/or cable box
ATTACHING THE [R CONTROLLERS
Some components label the infrared reTnote sensor, and others do not.
If your component is labeled, affix the IR controller directly over the
sensor. For components that do not label the remote sensor, you need
to use to use the component's remote control to locate the sensor.
1. Hold the cornponent's rernote control (not the remote that carne
with your TV) so that it is touching the front of the component.
2.
Slowly move the remote over the front of the component while
pressing the remote power button on and off. (Be sure"to press and
release the power button each time you move the remote. Holding
the button may not work.)
3.
