GETTING STARTED

This manual is designed to get you started quickly.

The first five sections of the manual show you how to

get your TV set up and connected, run the Interactive

Setup, program the remote, and use all of the menus,

features, and controls of your TV.

The Reference section in the back of the book

contains troubleshooting tips, care and cleaning

instructions, accessory ordering information and your

warranty.

Well... if your TV's out of the box, let's get started.

1SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

•]

Checkout the notes that have been added

throughout the manual in these Tip

Boxes. There are some important tips that

will help you get the mostfrom your TV.

STEP 1: UNPACK TH E TV

Make sure to locate the remote control.

STEP 2: CONNECT YOUR TV

There are three types of connections outlined in this section:

TV Only: If you're only going to connect the

TV to your home antenna or cable

system.

The Basic Connection: If you're going to connect the TV to a

VCR or satellite receiver.

Advanced Connections: If you're going to make multiple

connections, hooking up the TV to a

VCR and a satellite receiver.

Cable information and illustrations are given for each type of connection.

Once you have completed your desired connection you may skip forward

to Step 3.

TV ONLY

This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to your TV.

Connect the cable into the Cable/Antenna jack as shown.

Important Stand Information

CAUTION: Choose the location for your TV

carefully. Take precautions that the stand

or other furniture on which the TV is

placed is properly located (see Important

Safeguards sheet) and of adequate size

and strength to prevent the TV from

accidentally being tipped over, pushed off,

or pulled off. This could cause damage to

the TV and/or personal injury.

Before You Connect

Protect against power surges:

•Connect all components before

plugging any power cords into the wall

outlet.

•Turn off the TV and/or component

before connecting or disconnecting any

cables.

•Make sure allantennas and cables are

properly grounded. Referto the

Impo_ant Safeguardssheet packed

with yourTV.

Cables

You will use the following cable to make your connection:

Coaxial Cable: These cables carry audio and video

signals to the TV from an antenna, cable, or cable

box.

CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA

Once you have completed this connection you may skip to Step 3.

THE BASIC CONNECTION

The basic connection below (TV and VCR) is the most common

connection and is therefore used to illustrate asingle component

connection with your TV. For better sound and picture quality and

multiple component connection information refer to the next section,

Advanced Connections.

Cables

You will use the following type of cable to make your connection:

Coaxial Cables: In this connection, two coaxial

cables are used: one connects from an antenna,

cable, or cable box to the VCR, and one connects

from the VCR to the TV. These cables carry both

audio and video signals.

CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA

VCR I ENOUT

How to View the VCR

To watch the VCR in this connection tune TV to

Channel 3 or4.

Later, in the Interactive Setup section you will

program the TV to automatically tune to Channel 3 or

4 when you turn on the VCR.

Once you have completed this connection you may skip to Step 3,

"Connect the G-LINK Cable."

ADVANCED CONNECTIONS

Advanced connections give you better sound and video by separating

the audio and video signals and enabling you to connect multiple

components.

This section describes the types of inputs available on the back of your

TV and suggests ways you can use them for optimum performance.

Once you have made your connections

you will need to program the TV to tune

to the correct Video INPUT channel in

order to see and hear audio and video

from the component. You will program

this later in the Interactive Setup.

Back of the TV

The diagram below describes each of the back panel jacks. When

connecting AN cables, be sure to connect corresponding OUTPUTS and

INPUTS (Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio, etc.).

Input 1

Connect any of the following components:

•VCR ,, tnternet Access Device

•Laserdisc Player •DVD Player

•Satellite Receiver

To view the component connected to input 1:

Use the WHO.INPUT button on the remote.

S-Video

This optional

connection can

be used for

better video

quality picture.

Input 2

Connect any of the following components:

• VCR • Internet Access Device

• Laserdisc Player •DVD Player

• Satellite Receiver

To view the component connected to Input 2:

Use the WHO•INPUT button on the remote.

External Speaker Jacks

Use to connect external

speakers for surround

sound. Make sure the

Speaker Selection is set

to EXTERNAL.

S-Video

This optional

connection can

be used for

better video

quality picture.

Audio Outputs

Connect to an audio receiver or

amplifier for variable controlled

or fixed level stereo output. IablelAntenna 1

Takes the signal input from a cable,

cable box, or an off-air antenna. Can also

be used for basic component connections.

G-LINK

3onnect the G-LINK cable for

one-button recording and

channel tuning from the Guide

Sample Connections

The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter

when connecting components to your TV. Note: those components

which offer an S-Video connection, such as DVD, VCR or satellite

receivers, must match their S-Video connection with their audio INPUT

connection.

Cables

You will use the following types of cables to

make your connection:

Coaxial Cables: Carry the signal from the

antenna or cable directly to the television or

through a cable box, as needed by your

cable system.

AudioNideo Cables: Carry audio and video

from a component to the TV.

S-Video Cable: Carry video from an S-Video

capable component which provides best

picture quality.

TV and Stereo VCR

Compared to the Basic Connection, using Audiofideo and

S-Video (if available) cables will enhance the sound and picture quality

from a component.

Cautions:

Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum

or Interference

•Insert all cables firmly into jacks.

•Place the audio/video cables to the

sides of the TV's back panel instead of

straight down the middle.

•Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and

keep them away from the audio/video

cables.

Protect Your Components From

Overheating

• Do not block ventilation holes in any of

the components. Arrange the

components so that air can circulate

freely.

•Do not stack components.

•Allow adequate ventilation when

placing your components in a stand.

•Place an amplifier on the top shelf of

the stand so heated air rising from it

will not flow around other

components.

connect the G-LINK cable, no channels may be listed in the on-screen

program guide.

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.

HOWTO FINDTHE REMOTE CONTROL SENSOR

You have to place the wands on the G-LINK cable in front of the remote

control sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable boxes and VCRs

have the remote control 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) so it is touching

the front of the component.

Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component

(VCR or cable box) while you press the power button on and off.

You must press and release the power button each time you move

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

When the component turns on, you've located the sensor.

Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or

cable box (see instructions below).

The G-LINK cable is used to send commands

to your VCR and/or cable box. You must

remove the DEMO PiN before you can attach

the G-LINK cable.

you find a channel you like, press SWAP

to display that channel in the main

picture, sending the current channel to

the PiP window.

PARENTAL CONTROLS AND V-CH I P

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children

cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front pane] controls.

The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside

your TV (dubbed 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 will not display certain

programs. Once you block programs, you or other adults are not limited to only

parent-approved programs; you can "unblock" programs by entering a

password.

The software inside your TV comes turned "off," so if you choose not to

implement it, you can just ignore it.

When turned "on," the 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 turn 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 arating 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 table below.
