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.
Connection Pictures
Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

Connections & Setup
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, one-touch VCR recording won’t work. The other features of the guide will work properly.
G-LINK cable
G-LINK wands
Tip
If you don’t have both a cable box and a VCR connected to your TV, just coil the cable of the extra G-LINK wand with a twist tie and leave it behind the TV.
How to Find the Remote Sensor
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

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.

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.
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.
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 of the cable box and/or VCR in order for the GUIDE Plus+ system to work (go back to page 12 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 is very important because the GUIDE Plus+ system must find the correct cable box information in order to receive the correct TV program listings.
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.

3. Highlight the channel to which you have to tune your TV in order to see cable programming, and press OK (a screen appears reminding you to connect your G­LINK cable to your TV and cable box).
Notes: Channel 03 is the most common.
Choose Video1/AUX if your cable box is connected to your TV with audio/video cables instead of a coaxial cable. Go to page 7 for pictures of these cables.
4. Highlight your brand of cable box, and press OK.
If your brand isn’t listed, highlight Not Listed and press OK.
5. Make sure your cable box is on. Tune the cable box to channel 02 (use the remote
control that came with your cable box, or press the channel buttons on the cable box).
Press OK (the GUIDE Plus+ system starts testing codes).
Important Note: When code testing is in progress, don’t touch your TV, VCR, cable box or any of the remote controls for these products.
6. Look at your cable box. If it is still on and changed to channel 09, the test was successful. Highlight Yes, and 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.

Tip
Leave your cable box turned ON to download program information.
Leave your VCR turned OFF to record programs.
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.)
Keep following the previous instructions until the VCR finds the correct code.
Note: If the GUIDE Plus+ system can’t locate the correct code for the VCR, a list of troubleshooting instructions appears to help you before you try again.
• Try VCR configuration again: repeat VCR setup.
• Test alternate codes: tests selected brands and if this fails, the test continues with all codes in the system.
• Skip this step: the GUIDE Plus+ system won’t be able to automatically schedule programs to record on your VCR.
Step 4: Confirming Your Settings
1. Check to make sure all settings are complete and correct. If all settings are complete, highlight Yes, end setup and press OK. If your cable box and/or VCR code testing failed, you should see INCOMPLETE where the cable box and VCR codes are listed. Once setup is complete, additional screens appear.
If any settings are incomplete or incorrect, highlight No, repeat setup process and press OK. Follow the instructions on the screen.
2. You can choose to view a demo of the GUIDE Plus+ features, which may take a few minutes to load. If you don’t want to see the demo right now, press OK to watch TV.
