Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all devices before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the TV and/or device before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Using a surge protector can help prevent damage to your TV from electrical power surges. In
case of lightning, unplug your TV.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions packed separately.
Protect Devices from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the devices. Arrange the devices so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack devices.
• If you place devices 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 devices. Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place devices 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.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft
or indirect lighting.
Chapter 1: Connections & Setup
Get the Picture
The first part of connecting your TV is to get a signal. The back
panel of your TV allows you to receive analog channels by using the
ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT and digital channels by using the
ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT. The graphic to the left shows
these inputs.

What You Need to Know
• This television is equipped with a QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) tuner that enables reception of
unscrambled digital cable content. Check with your cable provider for information about content availability in
your area.
• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the off-air local digital
channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you what local analog and
digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
• When you get to the Auto Channel Search screen in the Initial Setup, make sure you set the signal type for using
a digital signal source. (You can also choose Both, digital and analog). To complete a channel search now, go to
page 11.
• When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to the Digital Input. Press the ANTENNA
button to tune to the Digital Input. Go to page 13 for more information.
When using both of these jacks, use the ANTENNA button on the
remote to toggle between the digital and analog signals.

OR
• You can use a signal splitter (shown at left) to divide the signal from one cable
or antenna source to connect to both the ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT
and ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT jacks on the TV. When you get to the
Auto Channel Search screen in the Initial Setup, make sure you set the signal
type to Both (digital and analog).

Choose Your Connection
There are several ways to connect your TV, depending on the devices you want to connect and
the quality of the signal you want to achieve. An excellent connection is achieved using
Y Pb Pr jacks. Connections will vary according to the types of outputs jacks each external device
can accommodate (i.e., DVD players usually have Y Pb Pr outputs but video game consoles do
not).

Go to page 5 for
instructions on
getting a signal.
IMPORTANT - If you aren’t receiving a picture with this connection, the problem
might be with your DVD player. If the DVD player is a “progressive scan” DVD player,
you need to change the setting from progressive to interlace. The procedure for
changing this on a DVD player varies. Look for a button on the front of the DVD player
(it might be called resolution or display), or see if there is a switch on the back (it might
be labeled “int/prog” or something similar), or the item might be in the menu system of
the DVD player. Consult your DVD player owner’s manual for instructions.

Connections & Setup
Viewing the Picture from the Connected Device
The device in this example, a DVD player, is connected to the TV’s Y Pb Pr and
VIDEO IN audio jacks. To view the DVD player:
1. Turn on the TV and the DVD player.
2. Use the INPUT button on the remote control to toggle through the Video Input
Channels until you see CVID displayed in the channel banner.
Connecting the Device
This connection allows you to connect a device that has Y Pb Pr jacks, for example, a
DVD player. If the device you are connecting also has S-Video or composite video, we
recommend you use the component video input for better quality.
The illustration on the previous page shows how to connect a DVD to your TV using
component (Y Pb Pr) and audio cables.
Using the example of a DVD player:
1. Connect your cable and/or antenna as described on page 5.
2. Connect your Y Pb Pr component video cables.
Connect three video grade cables to the Y Pb Pr jacks on the back of the TV and
to the Y Pb Pr outputs on the DVD player. Y Pb Pr cables are colored green, blue
and red. Just match the colors on the cables and Y Pb Pr jacks.
3. Connect your audio cables.
Connect the audio (white and red) cables to the VIDEO IN R and L Audio jacks on
the back of the TV and to the audio output jacks on the DVD player. Just match
the colors.
Important - Y Pb Pr cables can only be used with the VIDEO IN audio jacks located
on the back of the TV. You cannot use any other input jacks on this TV for this
connection.
