GETTI NG STARTED
This manual is designed to get you started quickly.
The first five sections of the manual show you how to
get your TV Setup and Connected, run the Interactive
Setup, Program the Remote, and use all of the
menus, features, and controls of your TV.
The Reference section in the back of the book
contains troubleshooting tips, care and cleaning
instructions, accessory ordering information and your
warranty.
Well... if your TV's out of the box, let's get started.

Checkout the notesthat have been added
throughout the manual in these Tip
Boxes.There are some important
tips that will helpyou get the mostfrom
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 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 (PIP NOT AVAILABLE)
This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to your TV.
Connect the cable into the Cable/Antenna jack as shown.
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.
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.
CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA
TV
CABLE/
CONTROL (_ ANTENNA
S VIDEO
Once you have completed this connection you may skip to Step 3.
This Connection Will Not Allow
You to Use Your PIP
Your TV is equipped with a single tuner,
which means you must connect with a
second video source using Audio/Video
Cables to view PIP.This TV Only
connection will not enable you to use
your PIP,but will get your TV up and
running quickly.
Refer to Advanced Connections for
connecting Audio/Video cables to your
VCR or other video component.
4
THE BASIC CONNECTION (PIP NOT AVAILABLE)
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 Coaial
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.
Once you have completed this connection you may skip to Step 3,
"Connect the IR Controller."
5
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.
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 ofthe 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
