Basic connections to the TV  
Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and  
displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.  
- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i  
(480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan)  
video.  
CABLE  
- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the  
1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.  
Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like what you see in a  
movie theater. Images are much more distinct, free of flicker  
and motion is smoother.  
CABLE OR ANTENNA  
75  
Your TV has an integrated HDTV tuner, which receives and  
decodes terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM)  
signals and displays them. There are two ways to obtain  
HDTV content:  
- through a cable provider  
- through an antenna.  
Note: Use the illustrations on the left for cable or Antenna  
connections.

Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The  
reason is that the RF output on a cable box - labeled TO TV, OUT  
or OUTPUT for example - will not send a stereo signal to the tuner

the desired channel; however, you must first use  
Auto program to store available channels in the  
TV’s memory. (p. 12)  
Note: If your cable box audio/video outputs do not supply  
video and stereo audio to the TV, you will need to make the  
connection shown above in “Cable box with RF IN/OUT.  
Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the  
TV if the station you are viewing broadcasts stereo  
sound.

CABLE  
- Antenna  
Through an antenna, you can watch any HDTV programs  
that are broadcast in your area without paying fees.  
If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in  
your area, contact your local content provider or your  
local electronics retailer.  
CABLE OR ANTENNA  
Broadcasters are currently transitioning from analog to digital  
TV. This means that a given broadcaster will have two  
channels on the air, one analog and one digital.  
Connect the incoming antenna signal to the CABLE/  
75  
ANTENNA 75  
jack at the bottom of the TV.  
See page 12 for details on using Autoprogram to store  
channels in the TV’s memory.  
Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is  
being broadcast by the station you are watching.  
- Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)  
Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels  
available on cable systems, often at a lower price. To view  
these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna  
outside your home.  
The two main DBS systems, DirecTV and DishNetwork,  
require separate, proprietary set-top receiver boxes to  
decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set.  
These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-air DTV  
broadcasts.  
Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels,

Notes:  
• When you have locked TV channels before initiating Autoprogram, a message appears asking to enter your PIN code in  
order to complete Autoprogramming.  
• When channel update is interrupted, the new updated channel information is retained along with the old un-updated  
channel information.  
• Channel information about an ATSC channel is updated only for the ATSC channel currently tuned.  
• If an NTSC channel is tuned, then in Background Autoprogramming the TV will scan all the possible ATSC frequencies  
and update information.  
• Weak channel installation allows you to manually tune weak ATSC channels in order to adjust the antenna and thus  
optimize signal quality for that channel. (See Installation menu, Weak channel installation, p. 13.)  
• Once you have searched for the available Antenna as well as the Cable TV channels, they are stored in the memory.  
• If Antenna/cable signal is interrupted more than 30 minutes, TV will go into off mode. You are requested to press Power button

Channel tuning  
Available channels:  
- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM)  
- Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC)  
If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV  
will attempt to tune to the channel and it will be added to the  
map.  
If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear reporting  
that the channel is not available. When you tune an audio-only  
digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only.  
Note: Subchannel selections  
The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible  
to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel  
number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control  
direct-access channel number entry.  
Note: Digital Channel selection delay  
Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel  
digital programming, the time to select and view  
a digital channel may take slightly longer than  
what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as  
compared to analog channel programs).  
Digital channel broadcasts contain program and  
system data information that must be processed  
before the channel selection can be displayed.  
Important:  
After the installation of the TV channels is completed, always  
make a selection in the Installation menu between Antenna or  
Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable  
TV channels.  
If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch  
in the corresponding position.

Trouble ShootingTips  
Symptoms  
Items to Check and Actions to follow  
“Ghost” or double  
images  
• This may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high rise buildings or hills.  
Using a highly directional antenna may improve the picture.  
No power  
• Check that the TV’s AC power cord is plugged into the mains socket.  
• Unplug the television, wait for 60 seconds. Then re-insert plug into the mains socket  
and turn on the television again.  
No picture  
• Check antenna connections at the bottom of the TV to see if they are properly connected to the TV.  
• Possible broadcast station trouble. Try another channel.  
• Adjust the contrast and brightness settings. Try another auto picture setting.  
• Check the Closed Captions control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen.  
• Check if you selected the correct AV source.  
No picture and power • Your TV has a protective mode in case there is too much heat build-up. Check the  
switched on  
clearance around the vents of the device to be certain there are no blocking walls or  
cabinets which would limit the air flow.  
Picture position  
adjustment  
When displaying a High Definition signal from the YPbPr inputs or HDMI input, if necessary, you can  
adjust the picture position to the center of the screen with the cursor left/right or up/down buttons on  
the remote control. This may be needed due to slight differences in output signals from different brands  
and types of HD source boxes.  
Notes: Most High Definition receiver boxes also have picture-positioning controls in their menu  
systems. If the TV cursor controls run out of range before the picture is correctly positioned, the  
receiver box controls will need to be adjusted.

Glossary  
Aspect Ratio  
The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set the aspect  
ratio is 4 to 3 (4:3). The new aspect ratio in HDTV is 16:9 which resembles the aspect ratio in a movie  
theatre (Widescreen). New TV systems support both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio and can automatically  
switch between them.  
Audio Video (A/V)  
A term often used when discussing a channel on a TV receiver or on video equipment, which has been  
especially designed to accept VCR audio-video signals. This channel automatically activates special circuitry  
within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video processors,  
which handle both types of signals.  
ATSC  
CVBS  
ATSC: Advanced Television Systems Committee. Formed to establish technical standards for advanced  
television systems, including digital high definition television (HDTV).  
Composite Video Baseband Signal. In broadcast television this refers to the video signal, including the co-  
lour information and syncs.  
Component Video  
Input (Y Pb Pr)  
Component Video Input is a type of connection that uses a cinch-type connector to allow set top boxes  
or analog DVD players to connect a signal to the TV. By offering the cinch-type input (YPbPr) the primary  
colors, red, green and blue are connected from a set top box directly into the TV allowing for the signal to  
display on the screen.  
DTV  
Digital television. Generic term that refers to all digital television formats, including high-definition  
television (HDTV) and standard-definition television (SDTV).  
DOLBY Digital  
Dolby Digital - Six-channel digital audio standard that is part of the U.S. digital television standard; also  
called AC-3 or Digital 5.1. The channels consist of front left, front right, front center, surround or rear left,  
surround or rear right, and a separate subwoofer.  
Digital Tuner  
HDTV  
A digital tuner serves as the decoder required to receive and display digital broadcasts. It can be included  
inside TV sets or via a set-top box.  
The generally agreed upon definition of HDTV is approximately twice the vertical and  
horizontal picture resolution of today’s NTSC TV, which essentially makes the picture twice as sharp.  
HDTV also has a screen ratio of 16:9 as compared with most of today’s TV screens, which have a screen  
ratio of 4:3. HDTV offers reduced motion artifacts (i.e. ghosting, dot crawl), and offers 5.1 independent  
channels of CD-quality stereo surround sound, (also referred to as AC-3).  
NTSC  
National television system committee. The organization that developed the analog television standard  
currently in use in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. Now generally used to refer to that standard. The NTSC  
standard combines blue, red, and green signals modulated as an AM signal with an FM signal for audio.  
Progressive Scan  
Resolution  
In Progressive Scanning all the horizontal scan lines are scanned on to the screen at one time. The Digital  
TV and HDTV Standards accept both Interlaced Scan and Progressive Scan broadcast and display methods.  
Resolution: A measurement of the finest (smallest) detail that is visible in a video image. TV Resolutions  
may be expressed as number of pixels in an image; or more commonly,  
As Total Number of (horizontally scanned) Lines used to create the image.  
Standard Digital TV Resolutions:  
SDTV: 480i - The picture is 704x480 pixels, 480p - The picture is 704x480 pixels.  
HDTV: 720p - The picture is 1280x720 pixels, 1080i - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels,  
1080p - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels.  
SPDIF  
SPDIF (Sony and Philips Digital Interconnect Format) is highly recommended for high quality digital sound  
output.

Care And Cleaning  
WARNING concerning stationary images on the TV  
Screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven aging of the LCD  
panel. Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that have constantly moving or changing images. Do  
not leave moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not display the same images too frequently; if you  
do, subtle “ghost” images can be left on the LCD screen. Sources of stationary images may be Laser discs, video games,  
Compact Discs Interactive (CD-i), paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or video tapes.  
Here are some common examples of stationary images:  
• DVD menus list DVD content.  
• Letter box black bars that appear at the top and bottom of the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed  
on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This occurs with some DVDs.  
• Video game images and scoreboards  
Television station logos cause a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are  
less likely to damage the picture tube.  
• Stock market tickers may appear at the bottom of the TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.  
• Shopping channel logos, pricing displays may be bright and may appear constantly during the show.  
These usually appear in the same location on the TV screen.  
TV Location  
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV  
where temperatures can become excessively hot -- for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.  
• Allow a free flow of air around the TV.  
Cleaning  
To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV’s power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.  
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using  
anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the screen with a clean cloth dampened with water.  
Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.  
• Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.  
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. They may permanently blemish  
the cabinet.
