REFERENCE

Check out the notes that have been added throughout the manual in these Tip Boxes. There are some important tips that will help you get the most from your TV.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

STEP1: UNPACK THE TV

Make sure to locate the remote control.

STEP2: 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:

Advanced Connections:

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.

If you're going to connect the TV to a

VCR or satellite receiver.

If you're going to make multiple connections, hooking up the TV to a VCR and a satellite receiver.

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.

CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

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 next section.

Advanced Connections.

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.

CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA

Once you have completed this connection you may skip to Step 3,

"Connect the G-LINK Cable."

How to View the VCR

To watch the VCR in this connection tune TV to Channel 3 or 4.

Later, in the Interactive Setup section you will program the TV to automatically tune to Channel 3 or

4 when you turn on the VCR.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

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.

Back of the TV

The diagram below describes each of the back panel jacks. When connecting AA/ cables, be sure to connect corresponding OUTPUTS and

INPUTS (Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio, etc.).

Input 1

Connect any of the following components:

• VCR • Internet Access Device

• Laserdisc Player • DVD Player

• Satellite Receiver

To view the component connected to Input 1:

Use the WHO»INPUT button on the remote.

Connect any of the following components:

• VCR • Internet Access Device

• Laserdisc Player • DVD Player

• Satellite Receiver

To view the component connected to Input 2:

Input 2

\__________________________________________J k

This optional connection can

be used for better video

quality picture.

Audio Outputs

Connect to an audio receiver or amplifier for variable controlled or fixed level stereo output.

Cable/Antenna

Takes the signal input from a cable, cable box, or an off-air antenna. Can also

be used for basic component connections.

_________________________________________

^ External Speaker Jacks ^

Use to connect external speakers for surround sound. Make sure the Speaker Selection is set to EXTERNAL.

S-Video

This optional connection can be used for better video quality picture.

G-LINK

Connect the G-LINK cable for one-button recording and channel tuning from the Guide.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

Sample Connections

The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter when connecting components to your TV. Note: those components which offer an S-Video connection, such as DVD, VCR or satellite receivers, must match their S-Video connection with their audio INPUT connection.

Cables

You will use the following types of cables to

make your connection:

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.

AudioA/ideo Cables: Carry audio and video

from a component to the TV. S-Video Cable: Carry video from an S-Video

capable component which provides best picture quality.

TV and Stereo VCR

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.

Compared to the Basic Connection, using Audio/Video and S-Video {if available) cables will enhance the sound and picture quality from a component.

STEP 3: CONNECT THE C-LINK CABLE

The G-LINK cable enables the Guide Plus+ system (the on-screen guide that lists what shows are on TV) to work with your VCR and/or cable box.

Cable Box - If your TV is connected to a cable box and you don't connect the G-LINK cable, no channels may be listed in the on-screen program guide.

VCR - if your TV is connected to a VCR and you don't connect the G-LINK

cable, one-touch recording won't work. The other features of the guide

will work properly.

HOWTO FIND THE REMOTE CONTROL SENSOR

You have to place the wands on the G-LINK cable in front of the remote control sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable boxes and VCRs have the remote control 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) so it is touching the front of the component.

The G-LiNK cable is used to send commands to your VCR and/or cable box. You must

remove the DEMO PIN before you can attach

the G-LINK cable.

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 sensor.

5. Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or

cable box (see instructions below).

PLACING THE WANDS UNDER THE VCR AND/

OR CABLE BOX

Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or cable box. Place them about one inch away from the remote control sensor.

OR the back of the TV.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

PARENTAL CONTROLS AND V-CHIP

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that 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 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.), if you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message,

"This channel is not approved for viewing," when you turn to that particular channel. 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.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

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. To block programs with higher ratings:

1. First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch.

2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.

3. Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding with the lowest rating you do not want the child

to watch appears.

in the example discussed above, you would scroll through the rating field until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you

want the child to watch is TV-G.

4. Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to the rating status field.

5. Press the up or down arrow to toggle between View and Block. The status for the rating listed to the left and all higher ratings

You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, 5, V, and FV on your screen. See the beginning of this section for details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.

To block program content:

1. Determine the lowest level of content you do not want the child to watch.

2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.

3. Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the age-based ratings until the rating that corresponds with the

lowest content you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the example above, you would scroll through the ratings until the TV-PG rating appeared.)

4. Press the right arrow to move the highlight to the field corresponding with the content theme you wish to block out.

5. Press the up or down arrow to change content status from V to B. Ail higher ratings' content theme will automatically change to B.

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 logos, phone numbers, and video games. This damage is not covered by your

warranty. Extended viewing of channels displaying these images should be avoided.
