Getting Started

This manual is designed to get you started

quickly.The first five sections of the manual show you how to get yourTV Setup and Connected, run the Interactive Setup, Program

the Remote, and use all of the menus, features,

and controls of yourTV.

The Reference section in the back of the book contains troubleshooting tips, care and cleaning

instructions, accessory ordering information and your warranty.

Well... if yourTV's out of the box, let's get

started.

SETUP AND

CONNECTIONS

• Check out the notes that have been

added throughout the manual in these 33pBoxes. There are some

important tips that will help you get

the most from your TV.

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:

The Basic Connection:

If you're only going to connect the TV to your home antenna or cable system.

If you're going to connect theTV to a VCR or satellite receiver.

Advanced Connections: If you're going to make multiple

connections, hooking up theTV 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

This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to yourTV. 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 theTV from an antenna, cable, or cable box.

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.

connection you may skip to Step 3.

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 yourTV. 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 theVCR to theTV.

These cables carry both audio and video signals.

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 yourTV and suggests ways you can use them for optimum

performance.

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 the component, You will program

this later in the Interactive Setup.

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 theWHO.INPUT button on the remote.

Takes the signal input from a cable, cable box, or an off-air antenna. Can also be

used for basic component connections. J

Sample Connections

The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter when connecting components to yourTV. Note: those components which offer an S-Video connection, such as DVD, VCR or satellite receivers, must match their S-Video connection

with their audio INPUT connection.

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.

AudioNideo Cables: Carries audio and video from a component to theTV.

S-Video Cable: Carries video from an S-

Video capable component which provides

best picture quality.

TV and Stereo VCR

Compared to the Basic Connection, using Audio/Video and S-Video (if available) cables will enhance the sound and picture

quality from a component.

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.

Step 3: Connect the IR Controller

The IR (Infrared) Controller enables the GUIDE Plus+ system to

control yourVCR and cable box (if necessary) so you can tune to

television channels and even start recording a program from the

GUIDE Plus+ system.

After you have affixed the ends of the controller to the necessary

components (VCR, or Cable box), you will use the on-screen interactive setup routine for the GUIDE Plus+ system to test the connected components.

The IR Controller is used to send commands to your VCR and/of cable box,

Attaching the IR Controller

Some components label the infrared remote sensor, and others do not. If your component is labeled, affix the IR controller directly over the sensor. If the IR location is not labeled on your component, you need to use to use the component's remote

control to locate the sensor.

Hold the component's remote control (not the remote that came with yourTV) so that it is touching the front of the component.

Slowly move the remote over the front of the component while pressing the remote power button on and off. (Be sure to press and release the power button each time you move the remote. Holding the button may not work.)

When the component turns off or on, you've located the

sensor.
