Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
,, Connect all devices b_'fore you p]ug any of th_'ir l)Ow¢'r cords into th<' wall outk't or l)OX\-_T
strip. NEVER p]ug your TV into an outlet that is control]ed by a wa]] switch.
,, Turn <)ftthe T\..' and/or device(s) before you connect or disconnect any canes.
,, Make sure all antennas and canes are properly grounded. Re_br to the Important Saf_'ty
Instructions at the beginning of the User's Guide.
Protect Devices from Overheating
', I)on't block ventilation holes on any of the clcvic'cs. Arrange, the <lcviccs so that air can
circulate freely.
,, I)on't stack devices.
,, If you place devices in a stand, make sure you allow aclequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or a,np]ifler, place it on the top shelf so the heate(I air
from it won't flow around other devices.
Position Cables Property to Avoid Audio interference
• Insert each c'ab]c firmly into the designated jack.
,, If you place devices above the T\", route all cables clown the side of the back of the T\"
instead of straight down the midcl]e.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead canes, do not coil the canes. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Use indirect Light
Don't p]acc the TV where sun]ight or room lighting wJl] be directed towald the screen. Use so_
or indirect lighting.
Check Supplied Parts
Check that the fo]]owing pairs were packed with yotu product.

Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)
This section describes the jacks on the back panel of your TV. There arc scw,ral ways to
connect devices.
ANT/CABLE Input Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive tile signal froln your antenna,
cable, or cable box.
COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a device that has component vkleo jacks, such as a
I)VI) pk_yer.
• CMP1 YPb/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Provides optimun_ picture quality because the
video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for
the connection. When using CMPI Y Pb,Cb PriCr, make sure you connect left and right
audio cables to the CMPI L and R AITI)IO jacks.
• CMP1 LAUDIO Provides left au(lio connection when using the CMPI vi(leo inputs. The let}
au(lio connector is usually white.
• CMP1 RAUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the CMP1 vi(leo inputs. The
right au(lio connector is usually red.
• CMP2 YPB/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Sa,ne as described for CMPI Y Pb/Cb PlTCr and
CMPI Audio above. Make sure you connect the let} and right au(lio cables to the CMP2 L
and R AITI)IO jacks.
HDMI1/DVI Input Lets you connect a device, such as a digital cable box, with an HI)MI or a
DVI output.
HDMI1/DVI INPUT (High-Definition Multimedia InterfaceiI)igiml Visual
Interface) Provides an uncompressed digital connection that carries both video and
audio data by way of an integrated mini-pklg cable. Since HI)MI technology is based on
Digital Visual Interfuce (I)VI), the jack on the back of your TV is also con_patib]e with 1)VI
devices.
HDMI2 Input
L AUDIO (used for DVI only) Provides left audio connection when using the I)VI jack.
The left audio connector is usually white.
RAUDIO (used for DVI only) Provides right audio connection when using the I)VI jack.
The right audio connector is usual]v red.

VGA Connect vour COml)uter, or other device with a VGA OL]tDLI[, 10 this jack using a 15 [)in
I)-sub cable. Go to page 34 for more infornmtion about how to use PIP with this connection.
VGA AUDIO (Stereo mini jack) Use to obtain sound when a PC is connected to the VGA jack.
Use a 3.5 ,n,n stere() ,nini pin cable (so,netimes ref_,rre(I to as 1/8" stere() ,nini pin) to connect
a PC to your TV.
VIDEO1 Input Lets you connect a device that has con_posite vkleo jacks, such as a VCR or
I)VI) pk_yer.
- LAUDIO Provkles left audio connection when using the VI1)EOI jack. The left audio
connector is usually white.
- RAUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the VII)EOI jack. The right au(lio
connector is usually red.

Let's say you've connected your DVI) player to your audio system. You've also programmed
your TV remote control to operate your DV1) p]ayer. Since tile DVD p]ayer sends its vokm_e
through tile audio system, you woukl have to bounce back and forth between two remote
contro]s: tile audio system's remote to adjust tile volume and tile T\."s remote control to operate
tile DVD player.
Tile \.'o]ume Punchthrough tbature eliminates tile need for you to use two remote controls and
saves a button press when you're using the T\..' remote to adjust tile volume. In effect, you are
telling tile T\" remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the audio system whenever
tile T\.' remote is in 1)VD mode.

Therefore, after you've successfully set up the \..blume Punchthrough tbature, whenever tile T\.'
remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only
have to press tile VOL +.- or MNTE buttons. Fol]ow the instructions below to set up Volume
Punchthrough.
1. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON,,OFF and MNTE buttons
(approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
2. Press and hold the MIJTE button until the device button blinks off, then release the MNTE

3. Press and release the device button that you programmed to operate the audio system
(receiver or amp]ifter).
4. Press and release the MNTE button.
5. Now, test it by turning on your audio system.
6. Turn on the device that is connected to the audio system (satellite receiver, for example).
7. Put the TV's remote in SAT®AUX mode by pressing the SAT®AUX button.

Why are there bars on my screen and can 1 get rid of them?
Most digital video is sont in a 10/9 format which does fill your screen, but sometimes is sont
in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to
your T\i is formatting the video. If there ar_, bars on-screen, press the ZOOM +/- button to t W
a different format that may e]iminak, the barn. The format changes as you press the ZOOM
buttons and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen. For more information on

Why does channel search find a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them there's
nothing there?
Some channels are enabled by the cable company that don't carry programming, such as video-
on-demand. When channels are unavailable, your T\/'s screen is blank or appears like snow.
You probably want to get rid of these so they no longer appear in your channel list. Remove
these in the CT?aJm(,lList menu. Go to [)age 40 for more information.
Why does the first channel search take a long time?
If you have both analog and digital channels, the T\ / is looking for all available channels in the

that digital channel.
