Owner’s Instructions

This device is a Class B digital apparatus.

Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

•

Digital Ready TV: When you select the regular screen (4:3) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 480p).

Although digital broadcasting must be in the wide screen (16:9) HD format, broadcasters sometimes show programs made originally in the regular screen format (4:3) by converting the signals into digital form, in which case the left and right side edges of the screen are cropped.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

Note : If the borders at the left, right and the

center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

•

Digital Ready TV: When you select the wide screen (16:9) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 1080i).

•

Digital Ready TV: When the TV receives HD-grade signals (and the set-top box output is 1080i).

When you watch a digital HD-grade broadcast on a regular (4:3) TV with the screen size "16:9" or "Panorama" selected, you will be able to watch the program but the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

Note : If the borders at the top, bottom and

the center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

•

Digital Ready TV

(wide-screen): digital TV: When the TV receives SD-grade (regular) broadcasting signals (with a set-top box).

• When you watch an analog

(regular) broadcast on a wide-screen TV (with the 4:3 screen mode selected).

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

Note : If the borders at the left, right and the

center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

•

When you watch a DVD, CD or a

video in wide screen (21:9) format on a wide-screen (16:9) TV.

• When you connect a computer or a game console to the TV and select the 4:3 screen mode.

If you connect a DVD player, computer or a game console to the wide-screen TV and watch a movie or play a game in regular (4:3) or wide (21:9) screen mode, the left and right side edges, or the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience temporary or permanent image burn.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads” on page 8.

If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas” on page 8.

Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has 300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

Chapter Two

INSTALLATION

Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 30075 ohm adaptor (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on back of the TV.

Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable channels.

Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

INSTALLATION

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires a an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

INSTALLATION

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT OUT”, “VHF OUT” or simply, “OUT”.

Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.

This terminal might be labeled “ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply, “IN”.

Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

Connect an RF cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

653T-01-82 Eng.qxd 11/26/04 10:16 AM Page 9

English-10

Connect an RF cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the A/B switch.

Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

Connect the last RF cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the VHF/UHF terminal on the rear of the TV.

INSTALLATION

After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
