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 amplier, 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
Check that the following parts were packed with your product.
• 1 Remote Control and 2 AAA Batteries
• User’s Guide

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 39” or larger size
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 200 x 200, M6 screw

Explanation of Jacks on TV
This section describes the jacks on the side/back panel of your TV. There
are several ways to connect components.
COMPONENT IN (CMPT) Lets you connect a component that has
component video jacks, such as a DVD player or set-top box.

• Y Pb Pr (Component Video) Provides good picture quality because the
video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or
component video cables for the connection.
• L/R AUDIO Provides left and right audio connection when using the
CMPT VIDEO input.

For mono audio sources, be sure to use the L AUDIO INPUT.
DVI/PC AUDIO IN (used for DVI/PC only) Provides audio connection when
using HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 jack for DVI or when using PC VIDEO IN.
Note: If using a DVI component, remember to connect the audio cable
because the DVI cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
VGA (PC VIDEO IN) Connect your computer or other component with a
VGA output to this jack using a 15-pin,D-sub cable.
SPDIF OUT - DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (coaxial) Use a digital coaxial cable to
