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.

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, onetouch 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).

OK
Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to move through the menu system.
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 diagram on the remote.
3.Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.
How to Use the Remote Control to Complete the Interactive Setup
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 POWER button on the remote control or 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.

To access the setup menus manually, press MENU and choose Setup.
Complete the Interactive Setup
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.

Tip
If you move to a new zip or postal 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.
Set the Menu Language
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 3 for more details.
The GUIDE Plus+ System 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 on the cable box and/or VCR in order for the GUIDE Plus+ system to work (go back to page 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 buttons on your remote to enter letters, and press the right arrow button to go to the next space. The left arrow button moves you to the left.
Step 2: Configuring for Cable
The next series of screens asks you about your cable setup. To supply your TV with the correct TV program listings, the GUIDE Plus+ system needs to know if your TV is connected to cable.
1. If your TV is connected to cable, highlight Yes and press OK.
If your TV isn’t connected to cable, highlight No and press OK (STEP 3: Configuring for a VCR appears).
2. If you have a cable box connected to this TV, highlight Yes and press OK on your remote control.
Note: The next series of screens are very important because GUIDE Plus+ system must find the correct cable box information in order for the program schedule to be correct in your TV’s program guide.
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.

press OK (STEP 3: Configuring for a VCR appears). |
|
If your cable box didn’t change to channel 09 or |
|
turned itself off, you have two choices: No and Test |
|
this code again. |

Test this code again: If you think the TV, the cable |
|
box, or any of the remote controls might have been |
|
touched or bumped during the test, highlight Test this |
|
code again and press OK (the GUIDE Plus+ system |
|
runs the same set of codes). |
|
No: If you don’t think the test was interrupted, |
|
highlight No and press OK (GUIDE Plus+ system tests |
|
the next code). |
|
Repeat the previous instructions until the TV finds the |
|
correct cable box code. Follow the instructions on the |
|
screen. |
|
Note: If the TV can’t find your cable box code, |
|
a troubleshooting checklist appears. Carefully |
|
review each checklist and follow the |
|
instructions on the screen. |

Step 3: Configuring for a VCR
1. If your TV is connected to a VCR, press OK.
If it is not, highlight No and press OK (a screen appears reminding you to connect your G-LINK cable to your TV and VCR).
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the brand of your VCR that is connected to the TV.
If your brand isn’t listed, highlight Not Listed and press OK.
3. Tune your VCR to channel 02. Next, turn OFF your VCR. When you complete these steps, press OK to begin testing.
Important Note: When code testing is in progress, don’t touch your TV, VCR, or any of the remote controls for these products.
4. Look at the front of your VCR. If your VCR turned on automatically and changed to channel 09, the test was successful. Highlight Yes and press OK.
If your VCR didn’t change to channel 09, you can either choose No or Test this code again.
If you think your TV or remotes might have been touched during the test, tune your VCR to channel 02, turn off your VCR and highlight Test this code again.
If you don’t think the test was interrupted, highlight No. Tune your VCR to channel 02 and turn off your VCR. Press OK (the GUIDE Plus+ system starts testing another set of codes.)
