Connections & 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 TV 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 components 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/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in
this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

Why You Should Connect This G-LINK Cable
The G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen interactive program guide) to
work with your VCR and/or cable box.
Cable Box – If your TV is connected to a cable box you must connect the G-LINK cable to receive
TV program listings for your area, and to tune directly to a channel when the program guide is on
your TV screen.
VCR – If your TV is connected to a VCR and you don’t connect the G-LINK cable, one-touch VCR
recording won’t work. The other features of the guide will work properly.
How to Find the Remote Sensor
G-LINK cable
G-LINK wands
You have to place the G-LINK wands in front 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.
3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or cable box) while
you press the power button on and off. You must press and release the power button each time
you move the remote (holding down the button won’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 your VCR and/or cable box
approximately one inch away from the remote sensor (see instructions below).

Plug in the TV
Plug the end of the power cord into the wall outlet. Match the wide blade of the
plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Insert the plug completely into
the outlet.
Put Batteries in the Remote
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the remote.
2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and -) on the batteries with the

How to Use the Remote Control to
Complete the Interactive Setup
OK
Use the arrow buttons and the OK
button to move through the menu
system.
The technical term is “Navigation” – how you move through the on-screen
menus. The theory is the same throughout the menu screens: highlight your
choice and select it.
To highlight a menu item, press the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight
one of the items listed on the screen. Use the up or down arrow button to move
up or down. Use the right or left arrow button to move right or left.
To select the item that you’ve highlighted, press OK.
Note: Highlighted means that the menu item stands out from
other menu items on the list (appears darker, brighter, or a
different color).
Turn on the TV
Press the TV button on the remote control or the POWER button on the TV (the
first screen of the Interactive Setup appears). The menu screens “time out” after
a period of time if you don’t make a selection. The tips in this section tell you
how to access the Setup menu screens manually.
Note: Pressing the TV button not only turns on the TV, but puts the
remote into TV mode. “TV mode” means that the buttons on the remote
control operate the TV’s functions.

The menu system in your TV allows the TV’s features to work properly. In this
book, we call it the “interactive setup” because the TV asks you questions, you
answer, and the TV makes the appropriate adjustments. The first time you turn
on your TV, the setup screens appear automatically.

The first part of the SETUP asks you to select your preferred language for the
menu system.
1. Highlight your preferred language for the menu system.
2. Press OK to select that language.
Complete Auto Channel Search
The next part of the SETUP asks you if you want the TV to search for all
channels viewable through your antenna or cable TV system. This is sometimes
called “auto programming.”
1. Press OK to tell the TV to begin searching for channels. A progress report
appears on the screen.
2. When the screen on the TV tells you the search is complete, press OK (the
first GUIDE Plus+ system setup screen appears).
Note: If you skip Auto Channel Search now, you can access it later
through the Channel menu. See Chapter 4 for more details.

code, or if any of your information
changes, you need to access the
setup screens from the TV’s main
menu— press MENU, choose GUIDE
Plus+ Menu, and choose GUIDE
Plus+ Setup.
The GUIDE Plus+ system is an on-screen interactive program guide that lists
what shows are on TV in your area. In order to receive program listings, you
need to complete the following steps.
The G-LINK cable must be connected to the back of your TV, and the wands
must be placed in front of the remote sensor of the cable box and/or VCR in
order for the GUIDE Plus+ system to work (go back to p. 13 for details).
1. You should see a screen displaying the features of the Guide Plus+ system.
Press OK to continue.
2. The next screen asks you to locate setup materials and hardware. Once you
have done this, press OK to continue.
Step 1: Identifying Your TV’s Location
1. If your country is highlighted, press OK on the remote control.
If your country isn’t highlighted, press the up or down arrow button on the
remote control to highlight your country and press OK.
2. Use the number buttons on your remote to enter your zip code.
Press OK when you’re finished.
Note: If your postal code contains letters, press the up and down arrow

Note: The next series of screens is very important because the GUIDE
Plus+ system must find the correct cable box information in order to
receive the correct TV program listings.
If you don’t have a cable box connected to this TV, highlight No and
press OK (STEP 3: Configuring for a VCR appears).
Tip
If you’re not sure which channel is the
cable box’s output channel, consult
the book that came with your cable
box or contact your cable company.
3. Highlight the channel to which you have to tune your TV in order to see
cable programming, and press OK (a screen appears reminding you to
connect your G-LINK cable to your TV and cable box).
Notes: Channel 03 is the most common.
Choose Video1/AUX if your cable box is connected to your TV with audio/
video cables instead of a coaxial cable. Go to page 7 for pictures of these
cables.
