Setup and Connections
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
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.
This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to your TV.
Connect the cable into the Cable/Antenna jack as shown.
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.

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.
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 A/V cables, be sure to connect corresponding OUTPUTS and
INPUTS (Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio, etc.).
VIDEO and Audio Inputs
Connect any one of the following components:
• VCR • Internet Access Device
• Laserdisc Player • DVD Player
• Satellite Receiver
To view the component connected to VIDEO,
use the WHO•INPUT button on the remote.
Connect to an audio receiver or
amplifier for variable controlled
or fixed level stereo output.
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 a component such as a VCR or DVD
player. You will program this later in the
Interactive Setup.

Setup and Connections
Sample Connections
The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter
when connecting components to your TV. Note: if you connect 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 connection:
Coaxial Cables: Carries the signal from the
antenna or cable directly to the television or
through a cable box, as needed by your cable
system.
Audio/Video Cables: Carries audio and video
from a component to the TV.
S-Video Cable: Carries 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.

Setup and Connections
Step 3: Connect the G-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 will 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.
How to Find the Remote Control Sensor
You have to place the G-LINK wands 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.
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 connect the G-LINK
cable.
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
connecting the G-LINK cable) so 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).

The next series of screens asks you
about your cable TV setup. If you have
a cable box, you need to set the
GUIDE Plus+ Gold System to control it.
Otherwise, it may not be able to
locate and download program
information.
Tune your cable box to Channel 2 and
then select the brand of your cable
box from the choices available. The
system then searches for the correct
code to control your cable box. When
your cable box switches to channel 9 it
has located the correct code.
Interactive Setup
Select YES if the cable box changed to channel 9, or NO if it did not. If you select NO, the system will try
another code.
If the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System cannot recognize either your cable box or VCR after several tries, a screen
stating “Cable Box (VCR) test failed... Please consult your manual and try again” appears. You have a
choice to either Try Again or Skip Cable Box Setup. If you get this message, you should also:
• Double check the brand of your cable box or VCR, and try entering it again.
• Check to make sure the G-LINK cable wands are positioned correctly.
If you choose to skip the cable box (or VCR) setup some features of the guide may not be available until
you successfully complete this procedure.
Once the correct model of cable box (or
VCR) has been identified, you need to set
the cable box’s output channel. Enter the
channel you use to view channels through
your cable box—usually 3 or 4. Consult
your cable box’s instruction book or your
cable company if you are not sure. Choose
0 to use VIDEO INPUT.
Select YES if you have a VCR, or NO if not.
(Answering NO automatically skips forward
to the end of GUIDE Plus+ Gold setup.)
Tune your VCR to channel 2 and turn it off.
Enter the brand of your VCR.
When the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System correctly
identifies the correct code for your VCR,
the VCR’s tuner changes to channel 9.
Select YES if the VCR automatically changed
to channel 9, or NO if it did not.
If you select NO, the system will try another
code.
The last screen comes up when you’ve
successfully finished the GUIDE Plus+ Gold
setup.
Remember:
• Leave your cable box turned ON to download program information.
• Leave your VCR turned OFF to record programs.
Press OK to leave the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System setup and either return to the TV’s Interactive Setup or the Main Menu. For
