Connections &Setup

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

Turn off the TV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

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

Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.

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.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air

from it won't flow around other components.

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.

Important 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

sheet packed with your TV.

Use Indirect Light

Don't place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft

or indirect lighting.

Demo Pin

If there is a demo pin in the G-LINK jack on the back of the TV, you must

remove it before you connect the G-LINK cable. If there is no demo pin,

just insert the G-LINK cable into the G-LINK jack.

Explanation of Input Jacks and Cables

This section describes the jacks and cables you can use to make connectkms. There are several ways to cnnnect

components to your TV.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT

AUDIO y P, P. I

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,Prcablescarryonly the picture signal, not the sound.

S-Video Jack

S-Video Jacks and Cables

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.

000

Audio/Video Jacks

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.

Chapter1 13

Connections & Setup

RF Jack

RFJack and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

The RF jack is necessary for reception of off air broadcasts, cable, and satellite

signals.

This iack is required for antenna or cable connectkms. The RF jack on the TV is

labeled ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT.

An RG-6 coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal distribution.

Audio Output Jacks and the External Speakers Jacks and Switch

These jacks are used to connect your _ to an audio receiver or other audio

processing component. The two types of jacks you can use for audio output are

fixed and variable. "fbu can also connect external speakers directly to the TV, if

you want to use the TV's audio processor.

The FIXED jacks provide fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio

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.

HJGH RESOLUTION

AUDIO INPUTS

High Resolution Input Jack and Cables

This iack lets you connect your TV to an RGB or component video device

(Y*Pb°Pr). How images are displayed, however, depends on other factors such

as the type of device connected to the TV and the media being transmitted.

Notes:

Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the

high resolution cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

•The TV automatically detects when a component is connected to the

HIGH RESOLUTION INPUT jack. To connect a component video device

to this jack, you need to use the supplied RGB-component video

adapter cable. The TV automatically detects and displays the

component video signal.

Why You Should Connect the G-LINK Cable

Tile G LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen interactive program guide) to

work with your VCR and/or cable box.

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 VCR

recording won't work. The other features of the guide will work properly, however.

G-LINK wands

If there is a demo

pin in the G-LINK

jack on the back of

the TV, you must

remove it before

you connect the G-

LINK cable. If there

is no demo pin,

just insert the

G-LINK cable into

the G-LINK jack.

Tip

If you don't have both a

cable box and a VCR

connected to your T_,

just coil the cable of the

extra G-LINK wand with

a twist tie and leave it

behind the T_

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.

1. Turn off the VCR and/or cable box.

2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV, but the one that came with

the cable box and/or VCR to which you're attaching the G-LINK cable) so that it is touching

the front of the component.

3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or cable box) while

you press the power button on and off. Yon must press and release the power button each

time you move the remote (holding down the button won't work).

4. When the component turns on, you've located the VCR's or cable box's remote sensor.

Placing the G-LINK Wands

Place the G_LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on your VCR and/or cable box

approximately one inch away from the remote sensor (see instructions below).

Tip

To stop the automatic code search without

Programming the Remote to Operate

Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of

remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to

operate most RCA, GE, and PROSCAN components.

Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an

additional remote-controllable component.

Note: The 73/button can't be programmed on this remote.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for

your component, turn the component ON. For example, to program the

remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and

press the VCR1 button. Then press ON-OFF or CH + (channel up) or

CH - (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote

commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be

programmed.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:

• automatic code search

• direct entry

Using Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate

each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search

without programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the

indicator on the remote turns off.

Note: The AUX button can't be programmed using automatic code

search. It must be programmed using the direct-entry method.

I. Turn on tile component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR1,

DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold

ON-OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release

both buttons.

3. Point the remote a[ the component. Press and release PLAY,then

wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.

28 Chapter 2

Using the Remote Control

At this point the remote is searching |_.)rthe correct code to program.

If, alter 5 seconds, the component yon want to operate does not mm

off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of

codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have

searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If

the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then

the remote can't be programmed to operate that component.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step

until the device turns back ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote

turns off.

Important

You must continue pressing the component button

while you enter the code.

Let's say you have a Zenith VCR. To program the

universal remote to operate the VCR, you would:

Press and hold the VER1 button while you enter the

first code listed for Zenith in the VCR Codes column.

Release the VCRt button. Press ONoOFF to see if the

VCR responds. If it doesn't, follow the same steps, but

enter the second code for Zenith VCRs instead of the

first.

Note

The buttons might operate differently for other

components, especially when you're using another

component's menu system.

Using Direct Entry

l. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the

code list in this section.

3. Point the remote at the component.

4. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the

remote.

Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the

following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an

invalid code or the button isn't programmable.

Release the component button, and then press ON-OFF to see if the

component responds to the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the

component button and then ON-OFF again.

If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed

for your brand, until the component responds to the remote

cornmands.

If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work,

try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search

doesn't find the code, the remote is not compatible with your

component.

Chapter 2 29

Using the Remote Control

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses

operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the TV, you would

press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could control the TV.

1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR1, VCR2, SAT-CABLE, AUX) to set the remote to control the

component.

2. Press ON-OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes."

*The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components.It also may not operate all functions

of the remote that came with your component.

•If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the

component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR,press

VCRI on the remote control to put the remote in VCRmode.)

Using the TV's Features

Parental 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, you or other adults can unblock programs by

entering a password.

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.

Chapter3 45

Using the TV's Features

Age-Based Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings

Rating

moderate violence (V).

TV-G General Audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains

V-Chip TV Rating Limit

The V-Chip TVRating Limit lets you decide which TV programs can and cannot

be viewed.

To set TV programming limits:

Tip

When you change the status of a rating to

Block, the system will automatically block

higher ratings and all corresponding

Blocking Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based

rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that

have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch

TVG, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with

higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1. First, determine the lowest level rating you don't want the child to watch

(see chart of age-based ratings on next page).

2. Press the left and right arrow buttons to highlight the Rating field.

3. Press the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to scroll through the

age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding with

the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch appears on the screen.

In the example discussed above, you would scroll through the Rating field

until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is

TV-G.
