Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all devices before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off the TV and/or device before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Using a surge protector can help prevent damage to your TV from electrical power surges. In case of lightning, unplug your TV.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately.

Protect Devices from Overheating

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the devices. Arrange the devices so that air can circulate freely.

• Don’t stack devices.

• If you place devices 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 devices. Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable ﬁrmly into the designated jack.

• If you place devices above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle 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.

Use Indirect Light

Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.

Connections & Setup

Choose Your Connection

There are several ways to connect your TV, depending on the devices you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. An excellent connection is achieved using Y Pb Pr jacks. Connections will vary according to the types of outputs jacks each external device can accommodate (i.e., DVD players usually have Y Pb Pr outputs but video game consoles do not).

Y Pb Pr Connection

Back of TV

Go to page 5 for instructions on getting a signal.

DVD Player

IMPORTANT - If you aren’t receiving a picture with this connection, the problem might be with your DVD player. If the DVD player is a “progressive scan” DVD player, you need to change the setting from progressive to interlace. The procedure for changing this on a DVD player varies. Look for a button on the front of the DVD player (it might be called resolution or display), or see if there is a switch on the back (it might be labeled “int/prog” or something similar), or the item might be in the menu system of the DVD player. Consult your DVD player owner’s manual for instructions.

Tuning to a Channel

Analog station numbers display on your TV in a rectangle as you enter the numbers. You can enter digits to access a channel. In the example below, you can enter 12 or 012 to get the same channel. To enter a one-digit channel, such as channel 8, just press 8. After entering the channel, press OK. The CLEAR button on the remote clears all entries.

Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and subchannels. Digital station numbers display in a larger rectangle that can contain up to eight numbers. Numbers to the left of the - (dash) are the main channel number; numbers to the right are the subchannel numbers for stations that broadcast more than one signal.

In the example to the left, press “1”, press “2” (although 012 is shown in the example, pressing “0” isn’t required) and then press the right arrow button to move to the subchannel. Press “1” and then “OK.” The TV tunes to channel 12-1. If channel 12 is broadcasting subchannel signals, you would enter numbers that would access the other signals. (Example: 12-1, 12-2, 12-3). If the selection times out, you must start over. Once you’ve made all entries, press OK. The CLEAR button on the remote clears all entries.

Tuning to a Channel (continued)

Some channels might have been found during the channel search that are unavailable to view and you might want to get rid of these so they don’t appear as you change channels. To do this go to Main Menu/Setup Menu/List & Labels. Note that removing channels from your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want to do it later. Go to page 29 for details on editing your channel list.

Watching TV

• Remember: If you have an analog signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT, then view analog channels on your Analog Input. (The ANTENNA button on the remote tunes to the analog/digital inputs). Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format. You can press the left arrow/ZOOM- and right arrow/ZOOM+ buttons on the remote to choose different screen formats (4:3, 16:9 or stretch). This is also known as the aspect ratio. Go to page 33 for examples of screen formats.

• Remember: If you have a digital signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT, then view digital channels on your Digital Input. (The ANTENNA button on the remote tunes to the analog/digital inputs). Most digital channels are sent in a 16:9 format; it depends on how the station is formatting the video. If so, you’ll see gray or black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. You can press the left arrow/ZOOM- and right arrow/ZOOM+ buttons to choose different screen formats (4:3, 16:9 or stretch). This is also known as the aspect ratio.

Note: Digital stations in native 4:3 format (you’ll see black or gray bars on the sides of the

picture sent as part of the signal from the broadcaster) might not have this function.
