Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all devices before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet or power
strip. NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
• Turn off the TV and/or device(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions at the beginning of the User's Guide.
Protect Devices from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the devices. Arrange the devices so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack devices.
• If you place devices in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifi er, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it
won’t fl ow around other devices.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable fi rmly into the designated jack.
• If you place devices above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead
of straight down the middle.
• 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.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.
Remote Control
You will need a master remote or ClonePRO™ to set up the TV. Contact your RCA Commercial
Distributor to purchase these.

What To Expect
Watching TV
• Remember: If you have an analog signal connected to your
ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT, then look for an A at the
bottom of the screen to make sure you're tuned to the Analog
input. Press the ANTENNA button if the A isn't appearing.
10 CBS
A
Look for the A at the bottom of the screen to
make sure you're on the Analog Input.
10-1 CBS
D
Look for the D at the bottom of the screen to
make sure you're on the Digital Input.
Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays these
channels in a 16/9 format. Press the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW button
to view the different formats available. Go to page 24 for more
explanation of screen formats.

input. Press the ANTENNA button if the D isn't appearing.
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fi ll your
screen, but sometimes is sent in 4/3 which does not fi ll your
screen. It depends on how the station or source device is
formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the LEFT/
RIGHT ARROW button to try a different format that may eliminate
the bars. Go to page 24 for more explanation of screen formats.
Changing Channels
• Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog
channel number) and sub-channels. First tune to the Digital Input
by pressing the ANTENNA button and look for a D at the bottom
of the screen. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel,
enter the primary channel number, then press the right arrow
button. Enter the sub-channel number and press OK.
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your
HDTV, you might notice that the channels change slower than
you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable channels
sometimes take longer to tune.
Chapter 1 11
Connections and Setup
Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)
This section describes the jacks on the back panel of your TV. There are several ways to connect
devices.
ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from
the antenna, cable, or cable box.
ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from
the antenna, digital cable, or digital cable box.
AUDIO Use the Audio Out jacks when using the MONITOR OUTPUT Video jack or use these
jacks by themselves to connect an audio receiver to the TV for enhanced sound quality. If you
use these jacks to receive your sound, you don't need to connect the speakers supplied with the
TV. Make sure you set the Audio output correctly in the Advanced Settings Sound menu. Go to
page 28 for more information.
• L (Audio) Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually white.
• R (Audio) Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is usually red.
COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a device that has component video jacks, such as a
DVD player.
• CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the
video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for
the connection. When using CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr, make sure you connect left and right audio
cables to the CMP1 L and R AUDIO jacks.
• CMP1 L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the CMP1 video inputs. The left
audio connector is usually white.
• CMP1 R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the CMP1 video inputs. The right
audio connector is usually red.
• CMP2 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Same as described for CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr and
CMP1 Audio above. Make sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 L and
R AUDIO jacks.
DSCI PORT This port is used to transfer information between a TV and other devices, such
as a clone box or interactive system. This port is an eight-pin telephone-type port. When the
TV receives a message via the DSCI (digital serial communications interface) port, it will act in
accordance with the digital instructions received. For more information on its connection and
operation, please contact your distributor or the supplier of the interactive system.
HDMI/DVI Input Lets you connect a device, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI or a DVI
output.
• HDMI/DVI INPUT (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual Interface) Provides
an uncompressed digital connection that carries both video and audio data by way of an
integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI),
the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with DVI devices.
• L AUDIO (used for DVI only) Provides left audio connection when using the DVI jack. The
left audio connector is usually white.
• R AUDIO (used for DVI only) Provides right audio connection when using the DVI jack.
The right audio connector is usually red.
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the DVI cable carries
only the picture signal, not the sound.
