Quick Setup 1 Getting Started These quick setup pages will provide you, in three easy steps, with the basic information you need to begin using your new television right away. This information includes basic instructions on operating your remote control, making a simple cable/antenna and optional VCR connection and, finally, information on programming your television's Auto Tuner.
Quick Setup 2 Step Two - Making Basic Connections Next you will need to connect your television to an antenna or cable system. The most basic antenna/cable connection is shown below. For more detailed connections, such as ones where a cable box is required, see pages 13 and 14.

The menu screens and their features are discussed in detail in this book. The menu settings are optional, you can set as many or as few of them as you wish. But to begin watching your television right away you will need to run the Auto Tuner Setup. This lets your television learn the channels it is able to receive.
Connections Cable and VCR Connections There are two basic types of antenna or cable connections: • If you have an antenna or have a cable system that does not require you use a cable box to select channels, please refer to Diagram #1. • If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access any or all of the channels, please refer to Diagram #2. • For your convenience, connection to a VCR is also shown in the following diagrams. You may omit the VCR from your connections if you wish.
