Setup Rear Connectors The rear connectors are located on the back of your display tucked under the back panel. Insert the cables from your component into these rear connectors. The rear connectors you use depend on the type of cables you are using with your component. Make sure you insert the audio cables into the connectors that correspond with the video input.
Type of Component Component Description of Cable(s) Where to Connect One cable with three ends: • Insert the red cable into the red • One red for Pr signal • One green for Y signal • One blue for Pb signal Some component cables come with red and white audio cables attached. YPbPr1 or YPbPr2 video input. • Insert the green cable into the green YPbPr1 or YPbPr2 video input. • Insert the blue cable into the blue YPbPr1 or YPbPr2 video input.

Power Connection • Use the provided AC power cord to connect to the wall outlet.
Antenna Connection The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for blackand-white television reception. For this reason, a good-quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems. • A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.
VESA Wall Mounting Your LCD TV comes with a TV stand already attached. You must remove the stand attached to the LCD TV before attaching any wall mounting equipment (not included). It is recommended that a specified technician from the distributor or authorized agent mount the TV on a wall. Removing the Stand 1 Place a soft cloth on a stable table. 2 Carefully place the TV face down on the cloth with the stand hanging over the edge of the table.
Attaching the Speakers Your LCD TV comes with speakers and speaker wire for you to connect to each side of the TV. Follow these steps to attach the speakers: 1 Hook the speaker onto the LCD TV. 2 Insert and tighten the four screws to each clip. 3 Insert the speaker wires into the connectors on the speakers and back panel of the LCD TV.
