IMPORTANT INFORMATION: OPTIONAL STAN D

A matching stand has been designed to be used with this tele-
vision. This stand is provided with hardware to secure the TV to

the stand so that it cannot be easily pushed off, pulled off, or
tipped over. This stand is available from your dealer, and is not
available by mail order.

Caution: If you choose not to use the stand recommended for
your TV, take precautions that the stand or other furniture the TV

is placed on is properly located and of adequate size and strength
to prevent the TV from accidentally being pushed off, pulled off,
or tipped over. This could cause damage to the TV and/or
personal injury.

STEP 2:

Connect your TV. This is a basic connection from an antenna, cable
box, or VCR to your TV. Connect the cable from your cable system

or off-air antenna to the cable-in jack on the back of the TV, as
shown.

STEP 3:

Plug in the TV. Plug the end of the power cord into the wall outlet,
matching the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet.
Be sure to insert the plug completely.

STEP 4
Put batteries in the remote.

• Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of

the remote.

• Insert two AAA batteries as shown, matching the + and - ends
of each battery in the compartment.

• Replace the cover.

STEP 5

Turn on the TV.

• Press TV on the remote.
Read the next section, Using the Menu System, which is a brief

overview of the basic rules for getting around in the menus using
the remote or TV's front control panel.

THI_ MENU RULE: POIN'[ AND _ELECT

You only need to know one rule to use the on-screen Itluilu_ _llct

control panels: point and select.

WHAT IS POINT AND SELECT?

The point and select method has two steps.

1, Point to a menu item using the MOVE arrows on the remote.

(The CHANNOL buttons on the remote.)

2. Select a menu item by pressing MENU.
Selecting an item tells the TV's menu system to go ahead and

make the change or go to a place you have indicated. (You can

also select an item by pressing the corresponding number
button on the remote.)

Once you know how to point and select your way through the
menus, you can apply this rule in the menu control panels, which

do the real work in the menu system.
