Connections Setup

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cordsinto the wall outlet.

• Turn off the TV and/or component be|bre you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Relier to the Important Sa|iety Instructions on page I.

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 shelfso the heated air From it won't flow
around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cablefirmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components abovethe 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 uses300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.Also, keep the twin lead canes 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 Saiiety Instructions on page I.

Use Indirect Light

Don't place the TV where sunlight or room lighting win be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirectlighting.

"IV+ A/V Receiver or Speakers

These are two different ways your TV uses a component to hear audio.

1. Connect audio cables to either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO L and R OUTPUT jacks and to the Audio Inputs
on the A/V receiver.

* FIXED provides fixed-level audio output From the TV. This audio output is ideal |br connecting to an

A/V receiver that has its own volume control.

', VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels can be controlled by the volume

controls on the TV and TV remote control.

-OR-

2. Use speaker wire to connect the TV to external speakers.

" The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the TV's internal speakers on or ofL lfyou connect

external speakers, slide the switch to EXT so the audio is sent to the external speakers only.
Choosing INT sends the audio to the TV's speakers only.

" DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed, digital video inter|_ce developed

|br high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics
needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVI,

when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technoloyy, creates

a protected digital connection. The signal speed of the DV1 connection is IO8Oi |br HDTV at a
rate of 1.78 Gigabits per second.

- L/MONa (Audio) Provides left audio connection when using the DV1 jack. The left audio

connector is usually white.

" R (Audio) Provides right audio connection when using the DV1jack. The right audio

connector is usually red.

No re: Remember to connect the left and righ t audio cables because the DVI cable carries only the picture signal,
not the sound.

COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a component video source, such as a DVD player.

- CMP1 Y, PB, PR (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the video is

separated into three signals. Use three video-grade cables for the connection. When using
CMPI Y,P_, PR,make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the CMPI L]MONO and R

Audio Input jacks.

* CMP1 L/MONa (Audio) Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually

white.
CMP1 R (Audio) Provides right audio connection. The fight audio connector is usually red.

CMP2 Y, PB,PR,and L/MONa and R Audio Allows you to connect a second component

video source. Their description is the same as CMP1 above. When using CMP2 Y, PB, P_, make

sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 Audio jacks.

COMPOSITE INPUTS Lets you connect another component such as a VCR, DVD player, or
laserdisc player. Its AUDIO jacks are the same as described Ibr CMPI above.

- V1D1 S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the video jacks (V1D1and 2 Video)

because the color part of the signal is separated from the black and white part of the picture.

When using VIDI S-VIDEO, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the V1DI L[

MONa and R Audio Input jacks.

- V1D1 V [Video) Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually yellow.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable

components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan
components.

Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-

controllable component,

Note:TheIVbutton can't beprogrummedon thisremote,.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn
the component ON. For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the

remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button, Then press ON,OFF or CH + (channel up] or CH -
(channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands, If the component does not
respond, the remote needs to be programmed,

Using Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your

components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your
components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

I. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, eta,)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR1, DVD, eta,), While holding
the component button, press and hold ON,OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on,

then release both buttons,

3.

Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the
indicator on the remote stops flashing,

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the
component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to

search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns oft or you have searched through all of

the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes, If the component does not turn off after pressing
PLAY 20 times, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component,

If the component you want to control does turn off:
I. Press and release REVERSE,then wait 2 seconds, Repeat this step until the device turns back

ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off,
