Introduction Digital Signal and Sound The analog television broadcast system that has been used in the United States for the past 50 years transmits signals as electronic waves. These waves can suffer degradation as the signal travels to your home. Additionally, the analog waves are susceptible to interference from planes passing overhead, weather, and household appliances.

Connections & Setup Things to Consider Before You Connect Protect Against Power Surges • • • Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. Turn off the TV and/or device(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables. Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions sheet packed with your TV.
Connections & Setup Get the Picture The first part of connecting your TV is to get the picture, also known as a signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive cable channels by using the CABLE INPUT; receive local off-air digital and analog channels by using the ANTENNA INPUT; and a digital cable by using the CableCARD slot (with CABLE INPUT). See below for these locations.
Connections & Setup Using the CableCARD Slot The CableCARD slot (with CABLE INPUT) allows you to use a digital cable card to receive digital cable services, including premium and HDTV cable channels, without the need for a set-top box. Please contact your local cable company to obtain a digital cable card. Depending on your cable company, an installer might come to your home to install the digital cable card for you, or they’ll simply send you the digital cable card.
Connections & Setup Choose Your Connection There are several ways to connect your HDTV, depending on the components you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. The HDMI and component jacks are considered excellent; S-Video is very good; composite jacks are good, while connecting components to the Antenna or Cable input is fair. Please use the following chart to determine which connection is best for you. Proceed to the appropriate page and connect your TV.

Connections & Setup Connecting the Device Green 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. Blue Red Using the example of a DVD player: 1. If necessary, connect your cable and/or off-air antenna as described on page 9. Component Video cables (Y Pb Pr) are color coded- Green, Blue and Red 2.

Connect your cable and/or off-air antenna as described on page 9. 2. Connect your composite audio/video cables to the TV’s input. Connect composite audio/video cables to the TV’s INPUT 2 jacks (R and L-Audio, and Video) and to the VCR’s audio/video outputs..

Your back panel might be different.
Connections & Setup Note: If the device you’re connecting has a digital audio output jack, connect a digital audio cable from the device to an audio receiver for digital audio. OR • If your set-top box has an HDMI jack, connect an HDMI cable. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI 1 INPUT (or HDMI 2 INPUT if your TV has this jack and it’s more convenient) jack on the back of the TV and to the HDMI Out jack on the back of the device.
Connections & Setup Advanced Audio Connection Information With the audio versatility of your HDTV, you can choose various connection options depending on the type and quality of sound that you want. From good to best sound, choose one of the options or refer to the user’s manual of each device that you are connecting to get the best results. • Use your TV’s internal speakers (good sound). • Connect an audio receiver (speakers connected to receiver) to your TV (better sound).
Connections & Setup Plug in the TV Plug the flat end of the cable into the power jack on the back of the TV. Then plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate wall outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely. Do not plug the TV into an outlet controlled by a light switch. Note: When you first plug your TV into an outlet, the Power indicator on the front panel will light and blink for approximately 30 seconds and then go off during the initialization of the TV.

Digital channels received through the digital cable card also have one channel number.
Connections & Setup Explanation of Jacks The diagrams below illustrate jacks found on the back of the TV. When connecting cables, be sure to connect corresponding outputs and inputs (video input into video output, right audio input into right audio output, etc.).
Connections & Setup INPUT 2 COMPOSITE VIDEO L INPUT 2 and 4 COMPOSITE INPUTS Connect an NTSC (analog) device. These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between devices. The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). • R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red. • L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.
Connections & Setup WIRED REMOTE CONTROL (IR) DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT (OPTICAL) WIRED REMOTE CONTROL (IR) (available on some models) This jack is for connecting a wired remote control system, which is primarily for professional installers. If you’re using the remote that was included with your TV, don’t plug anything into this jack or the TV won’t respond to the remote.
Connections & Setup The Front of Your TV Front/Side Input Jacks The TV has front/side input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital camera, or video game system. Look for a hinged door and press to open the cover. Some models have touch sensor buttons. Please note the illustration below is just an example of how these jacks might appear. Notes: When you plug in headphones, the TV’s internal speakers are muted. Use the VOL up or down button to control the volume.
