Chapter 1: 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).

Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV

The pictures below show the cables needed for the connections represented in this book.

Notes: Audio/Video cables (A/V cables for short) are usually sold as a bundled set, but the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately for better visibility.

Why You Should Use the Auto Tuning Feature

The auto-tuning feature automatically tunes the TV to the correct channel for different components you have connected to your TV (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.) When you set up auto tuning in the menu system you don’t have to remember to change your TV to channel 3, for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.

How to Set Up the Auto Tuning Feature

The way you set up the auto tuning feature in the TV’s menu corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you’re telling the TV what channel to tune to when you press the VCR, DVD, or SAT•CABLE button on the remote control.

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside your TV (referred to as 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.

Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.

By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.”

How V-Chip Works

V-Chip reads 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.”

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.” The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block follow:

TV-MA – Mature Audience Only. Specifically designed to be viewed by adults and may be unsuitable for children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V).

TV-14 – Parents Strongly Cautioned. Contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).

TV-PG – Parental Guidance Suggested. Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The program contains one or more of the following content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or moderate violence (V).

TV-G – General Audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains little or no sexual dialogue (D) or situations (S), no strong language (L), and little or no violence (V).

TV-Y7 – Directed to Children 7 years and older. Designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between makebelieve and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7.

TV-Y – All Children. Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including children from ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.

Chapitre 1 : Connexions et réglage

Points à prendre en considération avant d’effectuer les connexions

Prévenez les surtensions

• Connectez tous les composants avant de brancher leurs cordons d’alimentation dans la prise murale.

• Éteignez le téléviseur et (ou) le composant avant de connecter ou de déconnecter un câble.

• Assurez-vous que toutes les antennes et tous les câbles sont mis à la terre correctement. Consultez le feuillet des mises en garde importantes qui accompagne votre téléviseur.

Protégez vos composants contre la surchauffe

• Évitez de bloquer les trous de ventilation sur tous les composants. Disposez les composants de façon que l’air puisse circuler librement.

• N’empilez pas les composants.

• Lorsque vous placez les composants dans un meuble, assurez-vous que la ventilation est adéquate.

• Si vous connectez un récepteur ou un amplificateur audio, placez-le au sommet du support afin que la chaleur qui en émane n’affecte pas les autres composants.

Disposez les câbles correctement pour éviter toute interférence audio

• Insérez tous les câbles à fond dans les prises correspondantes.

• Si vous placez des composants au-dessus du téléviseur, placez les câbles sur les côtés du panneau arrière plutôt que de les laisser pendre au centre.

• Si votre antenne utilise des câbles à deux fils 300 ohms, évitez de les enrouler. De plus, maintenez les câbles à deux fils à l’écart des câbles audio/vidéo.

Informations de sécurité importantes concernant le support et la base

Choisissez minutieusement l’emplacement de votre téléviseur. Placez le téléviseur sur une base ou un meuble suffisamment grand et solide pour que le téléviseur ne soit pas renversé, poussé ou tiré. La chute du téléviseur pourrait entraîner des blessures et (ou) endommager le téléviseur. Consultez le feuillet des mises en garde importantes qui accompagne votre téléviseur.

Utilisez un éclairage indirect

Ne placez pas le téléviseur dans une pièce où il est directement exposé à la lumière du soleil ou à un éclairage. Utilisez un éclairage modéré ou indirect.

Illustrations des connexions

Les câbles audio/vidéo sont généralement regroupés. Pour une meilleure visibilité, les illustrations de ce guide montrent chaque câble séparément (audio gauche, audio droit et vidéo).

Câbles nécessaires pour connecter des composants à votre téléviseur

Les illustrations ci-dessous indiquent les câbles nécessaires pour les connexions représentées dans ce manuel.

2. Identifiez la marque et le(s) numéro(s) de code du composant dans la liste des codes aux pages 10 et 11.

3. Appuyez sur la touche de la télécommande correspondant au composant que vous voulez commander (VCR, etc.) et

maintenez-la enfoncée.

4. Entrez le code indiqué dans la liste des codes.

5. Relâchez la touche du composant.

6. Appuyez sur ON•OFF pour voir si le composant répond à la télécommande. S’il ne répond pas, essayez d’appuyer sur la

touche du composant, puis de nouveau sur ON•OFF.

7. Si vous n’obtenez pas de réponse, répétez ces étapes en utilisant le code suivant dans la liste correspondant à la

marque du composant, jusqu’à ce que le composant réponde à la télécommande.

Utilisation de la télécommande une fois programmée

Une fois que la télécommande est programmée, vous êtes prêt à l’utiliser pour commander vos composants. Pour faire fonctionner le composant :

1. Appuyez sur la touche du composant (TV, VCR, VPORT, DVD, AUX, ou SAT•CABLE) pour régler la télécommande afin

qu’elle commande le composant.

2. Appuyez sur ON•OFF pour ALLUMER ou ÉTEINDRE le composant.

3. Utilisez les touches de la télécommande qui correspondent à ce composant.

Nota : Si vous continuez d’appuyer sur des touches et que rien ne se passe, la télécommande n’est probablement pas dans le bon mode. Vous devez appuyer sur la touche du composant correspondant à l’appareil que vous voulez faire fonctionner (p. ex., si vous voulez utiliser le magnétoscope, appuyez sur la touche VCR de la télécommande pour la mettre en mode magnétoscope).
