Coimections & Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the T\' and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important
Safeguards .sheet packed with your TV,
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the component,s so that
air can circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air
from it won’t flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the
TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate
size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled
off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safeguards
sheet packed with your TV.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft
or indirect lighting.
Connection Pictures
Audio/vkleo cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in
this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).
Demo Pin
You must remove the Demo Pin from the G-LINK jack on the back of
your TV in order for your TV to operate properly and to connect the
G-LINK cable.
Chapter 1
Connections & Setup
Choose Your Connection
There are several ways to connect your T\^. Please use the folkiwing chait to determine which
connection is best for you. Proceed to the appropriate page and connect your TV,
Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV
The pictures below show the cables needed for the connections represented in this book.
Notes: Audio/Video cables (A/V cables for short) are usually sold as a bundled set, hut
the connection pictures in this hook show each cable separately for better visibility.
Please locate the G-LINK cable (provided) when you’re getting ready to set up your TV.
You need to connect this cable to your TV, and to your VCR and/or cable box in order for
all of the features of the program guide to work properly.

Why You Should Connect This G-LINK Cable
Tlie G-LINK cable enahie.s the GUllDli Plu.s+ system (the on-screen interactive program guide) to
wtrrk with your VCR anti/or cable box.
Cable Box — If yotir T\- is connected to a cable box you must connect the G-LINK cable to receive
TV program listings lor your area, and to tune directly to a channel when the program guide is on
your TV screen.
VCR — If your 'A' is ccrnncctcd to a VCR and you don't connect the G-LINK cable, one-touch VCR
recording won't vvxrrk. The rjther features of the guide \\ ill work properly.
How to Find the Remote Sensor
You have to place the G-LlNK wands in frcrnt of the remote sensor on the VCR and/or cable box.
Some cable boxes and VCRs have the remote .sensor labeled on the unit. If the remote sensor isn’t
labeled on your VCR and/or cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the VCR
and/or cable box to locate the sensor.
1. Turn off the VCR and/or cable box.
2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV, but the one that came with the
cable box and/or VCR to which you're attaching the G-LINK cable) so that it is touching the
front of the component.
Tip
If you don't have both a
cable box and a VCR
connected to your TV,
just coil the cable of the
extra G-LINK wand with
a twist tie and leave it
behind the TV
3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or cable box) while
you press the powei’ button on and off. You must press and release the power button each
tinre you move the remote (holding down the button w^on’t work).
4. "When the component turns on, you’ve located the remote sensor.
Placing the G-LINK Wands
Place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on yonr VCR and/or cable box approximately
one inch aw'ay from the remote sensor (see instructions below).
