Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
Insert each cable firmly into the designated
jack.
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the
TV instead of straight down the middle of the TV.

If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video
cables.

Stand
and Base Safety
Information
Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate
size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled
off'. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safeguards

& Setup
There are several ways to cnnnect
to your TV.
Component Video (Y,Pb,Pr) Jacks and Cables
The Y°Pb°Pr jacks allow you to connect an optional component video source,
such as a DVD player. This connection provides optimum picture quality
because the video is separated into three signals. To ensure maximum picture
quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection.
Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cablesbecause
the YoPb,Pr cablescarry only the picture signal, not the sound.

!
S-Video Jacks and Cables
®
S-Video Jack
The S-Video (separate video) jacks provide better picture quality than the
regular video jacks (labeled INPUT1 VIDEO; INPUT2 VIDEO; INPUT3 VIDEO)
because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is
separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.
If a component you're connecting to your TV (like a DVD) has an S-VIDEO
jack, connect the DVD to the TV with an S-Video cable (not provided) for a
better quality picture.
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cablesbecause the
S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
Audio/Video
Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
These jacks are used for most audio/video connectkms between components.
The attdio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right
audio, and white lk)r left audio). This is also called composite vide().
Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it
to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the
right audio part of the cable.

output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver when you want to control the
volume through the A/V receiver.
Note: If you use the FIXEDAUDIO output jacks, you may want to turn off
the volume display in the Audio menu.
The VARIABLE jacks provide variable-level audio output. Volume levels are
controlled by the volume controls on the TV and remote control.
The EXT SPEAKERS jacks let you connect external left and right speakers to the
TV. The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks lets you turn the TV's internal
speakers on or off. EXT sends audio to external speakers only. INT sends audio
to the TV's internal speakers only.

Why You Should Connect the G-LINK Cable
Tile G LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen

program guide) to
Cable Box- If your TV is connected to a cable box, you must connect the G-LINK cable to
receive TV program listings for your area and to tune directly to a channel when the program
guide is on your TV screen.
VCR- If your TV is connected to a VCR and you don't connect the G-LINK cable, one-touch
recording won't work. The other features of the guide will work properly, however.
VCR
How to Find the Remote Sensor
You have to place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on the VCR and/or cable box.
Some cable boxes and VCRs have the remote sensor labeled on the unit. If the remote sensor
isn't labeled on your VCR and/or cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with
the VCR and/or cable box to locate the sensor.

Features
Controls and V-Chip
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children
cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.
The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside
your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and
movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children
should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it won't display
certain programs.
Once you block programs,
entering a password.
you or other adults can unblock
programs
by
By default, the software inside your TV is turned "off," so if you don't want to
use this feature, you can just ignore it.
How V-Chip Works
When turned "on," the V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters
send with programs. That code tells the software the program's age-based rating
(TV MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L),
etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program
contains, you will receive the message, "This channel is not approved for
viewing," when you tune to that particular channel.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received
with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating.
You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated,"
and programs that are considered "unrated" because no code has been sent by
the broadcaster. The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block
are listed in the following table.
