Obtain the SignalThe first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receiveanalog and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT.Before you connect your TV, you have to determine whether you will be using an antenna or a cable serviceto obtain the signal.What You NeedAntenna (Rabbit Ears) or Outdoor Antenna with Coaxial CablePlug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of theTV. You are ready to receive off-air local digital and analog channels.Cable ServicePlug the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV.  You areready to receive your cable channels.Set-Top BoxIf you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable company or satellite service provider. They mayrecommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.What You Need to Know•Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the localdigital channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digitalstations available using your antenna.•When you watch TV, the Channel Banner displays the type of channel currently viewed. A “D” at the bottomof the screen denotes digital channels and an “A” denotes analog channels.

What To ExpectWatching TVAnalog ChannelsAn “A” at the bottom of the screen denotes that you are watching an analog channel.  Analog video is sent in a4/3 format. Your TV can display these channels in a 16/9 format by pressing the FORMAT buttons to viewthe different formats available. Go to page 33 for more explanation of screen formats.Digital ChannelsA “D” at the bottom of the screen denotes that you are watching a digital channel.  Most digital video is sent in a16/9 format, which fills the screen. However, it is sometimes sent in 4/3 format, which does not fill yourscreen. The format is dependent on how the station or source component is configuring the video.Note: If there are bars on-screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format. This may eliminate the bars.Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. Go to page 33 for moreexplanation of screen formats.Changing Channels• Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and sub-channels. Totune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, such as 10.1, enter the primary channel number (10), thenpress the right arrow button.  Enter the sub-channel number (1) and press OK.• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you may notice that the channelschange more slowly than usual. This is perfectly normal. Digital channels sometimes take longer to tune.Connections and Setup    Chapter 1    17
Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)This section describes the jacks on the back panel of your TV/DVD. There are several ways to connectcomponents.ANTENNA/CABLE  Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from your antenna, cable, or cable box.AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT 1 (VID 1) Lets you connect a component that has composite video jacks, such as aVCR or DVD player.•L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack. The left audio connectorsare usually white. Use when connecting to the VIDEO or S-VIDEO INPUT.  For mono audio sources, besure to use the left AUDIO INPUT.•R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack. The right audio connector isusually red. Use when connecting to the VIDEO or S-VIDEO INPUT.COMPONENT INPUT Lets you connect a component that has component video jacks, such as a DVD player.•CMPT Y Pb Pr (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the video is separatedinto three signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for the connection. When usingCMPT Y Pb Pr, make sure you connect left and right audio cables to the CMPT L and R AUDIO jacks.•CMPT L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the CMPT VIDEO inputs.

Programming the RemoteThe CANCEL button is used as visual feedback during the programming operation. During programming,the CANCEL button illuminates when buttons are pressed and turns off when buttons are released. Whenprogramming is finished, the CANCEL button blinks slowly to indicate success and blinks rapidly to indicatefailure.Note: All component buttons are inoperable during Programming Mode.There are three ways to program the remote control to operate other components: Direct Entry, ManualCode Search, and Automatic Code Search. You must try Direct Entry for at least one code before trying theother methods.Using Direct Entry1. Turn on the component you want to control.2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3seconds) until the CANCEL button illuminates. Release the buttons.3. Press and release the component button.4. Enter the appropriate four-digit code for the component you want to operate. The first digit indicates thecomponent type (0 for DVD, 1 for Satellite TV, 2 for Cable, 3 for DVR, 4 for VCR, 5 for Audio, 6 for CD);the other three digits indicate the brand and model. Look up the brand and codes for the component inthe list at the end of this section. Codes are listed by component type and are arranged alphabetically.5. The CANCEL button blinks slowly to indicate success. Repeat these steps until you’ve tested all codesfor your component’s brand, or try to run a Manual Code Search.Using a Manual Code SearchNote: Before using Manual Code Search, use Direct Entry. This lets the remote know which type of componentyou are programming. Then proceed with the following steps:1. Turn on the component you want to control.2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3seconds) until the CANCEL button illuminates. Release the buttons.3. Press and release the component button.4. Repeatedly press and release the left or right arrow, watching for the component to respond.
