Step 1: Unpack the TV
Make sure to locate the remote control.
Step 2: Connect Your TV
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 a
VCR 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.
Note that the PIP function is not available with this connection.
Important Stand Information
CAUTION: Choose the location for
your TV carefully. Take precautions
that the stand or other furniture on
which the TV is placed is properly
located (see Important Safeguards
sheet) 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 cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables
are properly grounded. Refer to the
Important Safeguards sheet
packed with your TV.
Cables
You will use the following cable to make your connection:
Coaxial Cable: These cables carry audio and
video signals to the TV from an antenna,
cable, or cable box.

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 description of Advanced Connections later in this
section.
Note that the PIP function is not available with this connection.
Cables
You will use the following type of cable to make your
connection:
Coaxial Cables: In this connection, two
coaxial cables are used: one connects from
an antenna, cable, or cable box to the VCR,
and one connects from the VCR to the TV.
These cables carry both audio and video
signals.

Advanced Connections
Advanced connections give you better sound and video by
separating the audio and video signals and enabling 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 optimum
performance.
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 program
this later in the Interactive Setup
section.

Back ofthe TV
The diagram below describes each of the back panel jacks.
When connecting AN cables, be sure to connect corresponding
outputs and inputs (Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio,
etc.). When connecting an S-Video cable, you must also connect
an Audio/Video cable to the AUDIO R and L jacks.
Video and Audio Inputs

Sample Connections
The following are sample connection scenarios you may
encounter when connecting components to your TV. Note: when
connecting an S-Video cable, you must also connect an Audio/
Video cable to the AUDIO R and L jacks.
Cables
You will use the following types of cables to make your
connections:
Coaxial Cables: Carry the signal from the
antenna or cable directly to the television
or through a cable box, as needed by your
cable system.
AudiolVideo Cables*: Carry audio and
video from a component to the TV.
S-Video Cables: Carry video from an S-
Video capable component which provides
best picture quality.
Video (ellow)
_e)Right Audio (red)
* Most Audio/Video cables are combined into
one cable with three heads on each end. We
show individual cables in these sample
connections. Either may be used, but you must
be sure to connect Video to Video, Right to
Right and Left to Left.
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 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.

TV button to put the remote into TV
mode before you could control
the TV.

Menus and Control Panels
Using the buttons on both the remote and front panel enable
you to access and make changes to the menus, control panels,
and choice lists.
Menus and choice lists use the point and select rule to navigate,

customize the functions of your TV.
Menus
The first menu is called the Main menu. Press MENU on the
remote or on the front panel to bring up the Main menu:

Menus take you to another menu or a control panel. There are
two ways to select a choice in a menu:
Point with the arrows and then select with MENU or OK.
Press a number button on the remote. For example, in the
Main menu press 3 to go straight to the Screen menu.
Exiting a menu
There are three ways to exit a menu:
Point to Exit and press MENU or OK.
Press 0 on the remote.
Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the
screen and you return to TV viewing.
Feel free to explore the menu system.
If you're ever unsure where you are
in the menu system, or you're just
plain tired of exploring, press CLEAR
to remove the menus from the screen
and start over again.

modes, which control the way the sound comes through your
speakers.

receiving broadcasts with weak stereo signals.
Stereo Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and
right channels. Most TV programs and recorded materials
have stereo audio. The TV displays the word STEREO when
you tune to a program that is broadcast in stereo.
Expanded Stereo Electronically "widens" sound from
stereo broadcasts, stereo VCRs, digital satellite systems,
DVD players, and laserdisc players for a fuller, more
spacious sound.
28
Page 31
Sound Logic Stereo Reduces the annoying blasts in
volume during commercial breaks, and also amplifies softer
sounds in program material. Eliminates the need to
constantly adjust volume control.
Second Audio Program (SAP) Plays the program's
audio in a second language, if one is available. The TV
displays the word SAP when you tune to a program that is
broadcast with SAP information. SAP audio is broadcast in
mono. SAP is also used to broadcast a program's audio with
descriptions of the video for the visually impaired.
Audio Output & Speakers Displays a choice list that lets
you turn the TV's internal speakers on or off and set the
audio outputs to fixed-level or variable control level.
Variable Output, Speakers On This setting turn the TV's
speakers on and allows variable output from the TV's audio
output jacks.
Variable Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the
TV's speakers off and allows variable output from the TV's
audio output jacks.
Fixed Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the TV's
speakers off and allows fixed output from the TV's audio
output jacks to an external device such as a surround sound
amplifier. With Fixed Output On, the TV's volume control,
tone controls, and mute are disabled.
Using the Remote to Select an
Audio Processor
You can change the audio processor from the Audio menu, as
illustrated above, or by pressing the SOUND button on the
remote. To make a selection using the remote:

Parental Controls and V-Chip
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so children
cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.
The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software
inside your TV (dubbed V-Chip) which allows you to "block" TV
programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may
believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program
your TV so it will not display certain programs. Once you block
programs, you or other adults are not limited to only parent-approved
programs; you can "unblock" programs by entering a password.
The V-Chip software inside your TV comes turned "off," so if you
choose not to implement it, you can just ignore it.
When turned "on," the software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code
tells the software the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence
(V), Adult Language (L), etc.) Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs
received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also
block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated," and programs that are considered
"unrated" because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.
The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the table below.
Age.Based
Rating Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings

TV-MA children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent
language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), graphic violence (V).

children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program
TV-14 and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14watch unattended. This program
contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D),
strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations IS), or intense violence (V).
Parental Guidance Suggested. Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger
TV-PG children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The program contains one
or more of the following content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse
language (L), some sexual situations ($), or moderate violence (V).
TV-G General Audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains little or
no sexual dialogue (D), no strong language (L), or situations (S), little or no violence (V).

Blocking Age-Based Ratings
You can automatically block all program ratings above a
specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only
want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating
and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch TV-G,
TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other
programming with higher ratings.

PIP (Picture-in-Picture) Operation
The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second,
smaller picture on top of the main picture.
Your TV is equipped with a single tuner that tunes to cable or
off-air television signals. The PIP feature on your TV requires a
second video source, like a VCR or satellite receiver to supply
the second picture to the screen. The PIP feature also requires
connecting the second video source to the TV with audio/video
cables.

No signal or bad reception Most VCRs and satellite receivers have an antenna or TV/VCR button. If
your cable or off-air antenna goes into your VCR or satellite receiver then into your TV, try pressing the
antenna or TV/VCR button on the front of the component.
Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.

you may need extra equipment. Contact you cable company for more information.
When I change channels, both windows change Make sure the input you want to change is active
before trying to change it. See also" The component button doesn't work" below for more tips,
Closed Captioning is in wrong window (main vs. PIP) Closed Captioning is set for the window
(main or PIP), not the image source. When you swap, Closed Captioning will remain in the same window
although the signals swap.
The component button doesn't work Your remote may need to be programmed to control
components (see description in the" Using the Remote" section).
If your remote is programmed, make sure that A/V signals are set to auto tune to the rID channel and that
S-Video signals are set to auto tune to the SVID channel. Setting them to CH3 or CH4 may cause problems,
That component's video input source may be set for the wrong channel. Check to make sure the input
source setting matches the switch setting on the component (usually on the back panel),

Troubleshooting
Troubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults" that you can
correct without the help of a service technician. If you experience
any difficulty with your TV, check a few basic remedies before
calling your service technician.
TV will not turn on
Check to make sure it is plugged in.
Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is
"live" by plugging in something else.
Maybe batteries in remote control are "dead."
Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.
The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the
remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting
the Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and
choosing View.
Controls don't work
If using remote control, make sure remote is in TV mode by first
pressing TV button.
The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the
remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting
the Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and
choosing View.
Try unplugging set for two minutes and then plug it back in and
turn it on again.
Problems with remote
Maybe something is between the remote and the remote
sensor.
Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the component (TV or
VCR) you are trying to control.
Maybe remote is not in TV mode. Press the TV button so
remote will control TV.
Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed
incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. (Note, if you remove the
batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to control
other components.)
Remove batteries and hold number 1 for at least 60 seconds to
drain the microprocessor inside the remote. Release number 1,
replace the batteries, and (if necessary) reprogram the remote.
49
Page 52
Turns off while playing
You may have scheduled the TV to turn off via the Schedule
function.
Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of
a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this
happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be
abnormally high or low.
Blank screen
Maybe the component connected to the input jacks is not
turned on.
Try another channel.
Maybe you have set Parental Controls to block the channel.
Turn off the TV. Wait five minutes. Turn on again.
No sound, picture okay
Maybe sound is muted. Try pressing volume up button to
restore sound.
Maybe speakers are turned off. Check the Audio Output and
Speakers control panel in the Audio menu.
If using an S-VHS component, remember to also connect the
component's L and R AUDIO OUT jacks to the TV's L and R
IN PUT jacks.
Can't select certain channel
The channel may be blocked or not approved in the Parental
Controls menu.
If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the
VCR is in the correct "mode."
Noisy stereo reception
May be a weak station. Use SOUND button to change to mono
mode instead of stereo.
No picture, no sound but TV is on
If watching VCR (connected only through antenna input), make
sure TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4 - same as CH3/4 switch on
VCR. Also check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is
in the correct "mode."

Closed-Caption Display control panel in the Channel menu.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure
to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help
assure adequate ventilation.
The TV's screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint.free cloth
as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If
necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.
Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based
cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will
damage the TV.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow
liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing
drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the
risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.
Caution: If fixed (non-moving) images are left on the screen for
long periods, they may be permanently imprinted on the screen.
Such images include network Iogos, phone numbers, and video
games. This damage is not covered by your warranty. Extended
viewing of channels displaying these images should be avoided.
