Chapter 1 Connections and Setup

Before Initial Setup

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any 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 before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety

Instructions.

Safety Information

• Protect components from overheating.

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can

circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• If you place the component in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t

harm other components.

Avoid Audio Interference

• Position cables properly; insert each cable rmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down one 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.

• Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Avoid Direct Light

Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect

lighting.

Check Supplied Parts

Connections and Setup

Attaching Your TV to the Table Stand

Your TV comes without the table stand attached so that you can choose to mount your TV either to its table stand or to a wall (wall mount sold separately). If you want to mount your TV to the wall, don’t attach the table stand. Follow the Mounting Your TV to the Wall instructions.

First, remove the TV bag and place it on a large, at surface such as a table or countertop. Remove the TV from the carton and place it face down on the TV bag. Be sure that the TV is face down to avoid scratching

the screen. Then follow the steps below:

Mounting Your TV to the Wall

If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don’t attach the table stand.

To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.

Models of 32”

Models of 40”

The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example,

200x200 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 200mm horizontally and 200mm vertically.

Notes: Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall. Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of ve times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing damage.

Purchase a VESA 100 x 100, M4 screw

Purchase a VESA 200 x 200, M6 screw
