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:
Note: A is applied to models of 32” or under 32”; B is applied to models of 39” or larger size . For some
models, the step 1 is no needed.
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 32” or under 32” Purchase a VESA 100 x 100, M4 screw
Models of 39” or larger size Purchase a VESA 200 x 200, M6 screw
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example, 400x200
refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 400mm 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

Parental Control
The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip
menus involve software inside your TV, referred to
as V-Chip, which allows you to block TV programs
and movies. TV programs can be blocked by age-

adult language (L). Movies can only be blocked
by age-based ratings. Once you block programs,

unlocked.
V-Chip reads 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 receive a message that the channel
is currently blocked. Change the channel or to
enter your password and temporarily deactivate the
parental controls.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content
themes, so programs received with no content
themes are blocked only if you block their age-

Chapter 3 Other Information
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the quickest way to view High Denition (HD) video?
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANT/CABLE/SAT IN to view free local digital channels. You may need to
purchase an antenna.
Visit www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local digital
channels available to you. By entering your location, this mapping program tells you which local analog and
digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
Are there other ways to view High Denition (HD) video?
Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive
digital video. Contact your cable company or satellite provider to purchase digital programming
and have them connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels the best way.
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
Press the INFO button to display the Channel Banner. Look at the the screen. The dot (•) is displayed for a
digital channel. If there is no dot, it is an analog channel.
Why are there bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which lls your screen, but is sometimes sent in 4/3 which does not
ll your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there
are bars on the screen, press the ZOOM -/+ button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some
bars can’t be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes as you
press the ZOOM -/+ button and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Why does channel search nd a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them, there’s nothing
there?
Some channels enabled by the cable company don’t carry programming, such as video ondemand. When
channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or appears like snow. You probably want to remove these
channels from your Channel List. Remove these in the Channel Skip Menu.
Why does the rst channel search take a long time?
If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the Channel List. If
you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled channels, and
each sub-channel of that digital channel.
Why is my picture quality poor?
Use the HDMI connections on your TV to display the best picture quality. However, even using the HDMI,
your content and content source will dictate the picture quality you see. For example, source content that is
1080p will show better than 720p or 480p.
