VCR or satellite receiver.

Advanced Connections:

If you're going to make multiple
connections, hooking up the TV to
one or two VCRs, DVD player, 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.

ONLY

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
signal to the TV from an antenna, cable, or
cablebox.

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 cable to make your connection:

Coaxial Cables: These cables carry both the audio

and video signal to the TV from an antenna, cable,
or cablebox. In this connection, a second Coaxial

Cable carries the signal through the VCR to the TV.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

ADVANCED CONNECTIONS

Advanced connections give you better sound and video by separating

the audio and video signals and enable you to connect multiple

components.

This section describes the types of inputs available on the back of your
TV and suggestsways 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.).

Once you have made your connections
you will need to program the TV to tune
to the correct Video INPUT channel in
order to seeand hear audio and video

from the component. You will program
this later in the Interactive Setup.

Input 1

Connect any of the following components:

• VCR • Internet Access Device

• Laserdisc Player • DVD Player

SAMPLE CONNECTIONS

The following are sample connection scenarios which you may
encounter when connecting components to your TV. 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 cable to make your connection:

Coaxial Cables: Carries the signal from the
antenna or cable directly to the television or
through a cablebox, as needed by your cable

system.

Audio/Video Cables: Carries sound and video
from the component to the TV.

S-Video Cable: Carries video from an S-Video
capable component which provides best

picture quality.

Cautions:

Position cablesto 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 notto 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.

How ToVIEwYouRVCR

To watch the VCR in this connection, press TV to put the
remote control into TV mode, then press WHO• INPUT to
scroll through the video input channels until you tune to
VlDI input.

In the Interactive Setup section you can program the TV
to automatically tune to the VlD1 input channel when

CREATING A GREENER FUTURE

At Thomson Consumer Electronics we are dedicated to the preservation of our

natural heritage and to a healthy and safe way of life for current and future
generations. This is a global effort which encompasses every THOMSON
facility throughout the world.

We believe that clean air, clean water, a protected earth, and healthy people
are not only practical and desirable goals, but achievable ones as well. Our
Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety Charter acknowledges our
commitment to protect these precious assets and provides a challenging vision
and guideline for conducting our business.

Below are a few examples of Thomson's achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources.

THE EARTH THE AIR THE WATER

Thomson reclaims millions of

pounds of hazardous waste
annually, diverting it from
landfills.

Thomson treats millions of pounds

of waste water sludge annually
and renders it non-hazardous.

Thomson recycles over 50 million

pounds of non-hazardous material
annually that otherwise would
have been treated as trash, an

overall recovery rate of 50%.
Thomson globally recycles

millions of pounds of broken

television picture tube glass

annually through both internal

and external reclaim processes.

Thomson has replaced solvent-
based paints at many locations
resulting in an 80% reduction in
toxic air emissions for equivelant
material used.

Thomson has eliminated the useof
ozone-depleting substances at
television manufacturing facilities

around the world.
Thomson collects and returns over

1.5 million pounds of glass and
furnace dust to the glass making
process annually.

Thomson has launched worldwide
energy savings programs which

contribute to efforts to reduce air
emissions from electrical generating

facilities.

Thomson recovers over 2 million

pounds of fine glass particles from
process water each year and
recycles them back into itsglass
furnaces.

Thomson's state-of-the-art waste

water treatment plants filter out
over 26 million pounds of solids
from process water each year.

Thomson's U.S. glass factory

recycles 2,500 gallons of water
per minute and cleans 2.6 million
gallons of water per day.

Thomson is researching new
processes and is developing new
manufacturing equipment and

technologies to further reduce

large volume water use.

Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example, in the U.S. and

Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks used for the
print on cartons and instruction booklets are soy based. For afree brochure regarding Thomson's Environmental Health
and Safety Programs, write to Thomson Consumer Electronics' address below, attention Environmental Programs:
