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 timeTV 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 timecable into timeCable/Antenna jack as shown.

CABLES
You will usethe following cable to make your connection:

Coaxial Cable: These cables carry audio and video
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 (see Important

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.

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 cab}es.

* Make sure all antennas and cab}es are

properly grounded. Refer to your Safety

Tips sheet packed with your TV.

commection with your TV. For better sound and picture quality and

multiple component commection information refer to the _ext section,

Advanced Connections.

CABLES
You will usethe following cabJe to make your connection:

Coaxial Cables: These cables carry both the audio
and video signa[ to the TV from an antellna, cable,

or cabJebox. In this connection, a second Coaxial
Cable carries the signal through the VCR to the TV.

ADVANCED CONNECTIONS

Advanced connections give you better sound and video by separating
the audio and video signals and enable you to connect rnultipie

components.
This section describes the types of inputs available on timeback of your

TV and suggests ways you can use them for optimum performance.

BACK OF THETV

The diagram below describes each of the back panel jacks. When
connecting AN cables, be sure to connect corresponding OUTPL;TS

and INPUTS (Video to V_deo, 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 timecomponent. You will program

this later in the Interactive Setup.

Input 1

Connect any of the following components:

* VCR * Intemet Access Device
* Laserdisc Player * DVD Player

* Satellite Receiver

To view timecomponent connected to Input 1:

Use timeWHO*INPUT button on the remote,

SAMPLE CONNECTIONS

The following are sample com_ection scenarios which you may
encounter when commecting components to your TV. Note: those

components which offer armS-Video commection, such as DVD, VCR or
Satellite Receivers, must match their S-Video commection with their

audio INPUT commection.

CABLES

You will usethe following cable to make your commection:

Coaxial Cables: Carries the signal from the
antemla or cable directly to the television or

through a cabiebox, as needed by your cable

system.

Audio/Video Cables: Carries sound and video

from the component to timeTV.

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 cables to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference

• Insert all cables firmly into jacks.

• Place the audio/video cables to the
sides of the TWs back pane[ instead of

straight down timemiddle.

• Try not to coil any twimlead cables
and keep them away from the audio/

video cables.

Protect your componentsfrom

Overheating

• Do not block ventilation holes in any
of timecomponents. Arrange time
components so that air can circulate
freely.

• Do not stack components.

• Allow adequate ventilation when

placing your components in a stand.

• Place aimamplifier on the top shelf of
the stand so heated air rising from it
