Chapter 1: Connections & Setup
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.

Analog channel
example entry
Analog station numbers display on your TV in a rectangle as you enter the numbers. You can
enter digits to access a channel. In the example below, you can enter 12 or 012 to get the
same channel. To enter a one-digit channel, such as channel 8, just press 8. After entering the
channel, press OK. The CLEAR button on the remote clears all entries.
Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and
subchannels. Digital station numbers display in a larger rectangle that can contain up to eight
numbers. Numbers to the left of the - (dash) are the main channel number; numbers to the
right are the subchannel numbers for stations that broadcast more than one signal.

Digital channel
example entry
In the example to the left, press “1”, press “2” (although 012 is shown in the example,
pressing “0” isn’t required) and then press the right arrow button to move to the subchannel.
Press “1” and then “OK.” The TV tunes to channel 12-1. If channel 12 is broadcasting
subchannel signals, you would enter numbers that would access the other signals. (Example:
12-1, 12-2, 12-3). If the selection times out, you must start over. Once you’ve made all entries,
press OK. The CLEAR button on the remote clears all entries.
Notes: You may experience a delay of several seconds before digital pictures appear,
both when you first turn on the digital signals and when you change channels. This is

Tuning to a Channel (continued)
Some channels might have been found during the channel search that are unavailable to
view and you might want to get rid of these so they don’t appear as you change channels.
To do this go to Main Menu/Setup Menu/List & Labels. Note that removing channels from
your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want to do it later. Go to page 29 for
details on editing your channel list.
What to Expect
Watching TV
•
Remember: If you have an analog signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG
INPUT, then view analog channels on your Analog Input. (The ANTENNA button on the

Remember: If you have a digital signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL
INPUT, then view digital channels on your Digital Input. (The ANTENNA button on the

it depends on how the station is formatting the video. If so, you’ll see gray or black
bars at the top and bottom of the screen. You can press the left arrow/ZOOM- and right
arrow/ZOOM+ buttons to choose different screen formats (4:3, 16:9 or stretch). This is

Parental Controls and V-Chip
The choices in the USA V-CHIP menu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip)
which allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence, sex or other content you
may believe children should not view.
Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.
By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.” For instructions to turn on V-Chip, refer to
Activate Parental Control below.
How V-Chip Works
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence
(V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the
program contains, you will receive the message: This channel has not been approved for viewing.
Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content
themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out
programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated and programs that are considered unrated.
The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are identified and explained in
detail in Chapter 4.
The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of TV program
limits.

Parental Control features will take effect.
Resetting the Password
If you forget your password, you can reset it. Here is how to do it:
1. Make sure the TV is off.
2. Simultaneously press and hold VOL- on the TV’s front panel and CLEAR on
the remote for approximately 5 seconds.
3. Enter a new password the next time you access the PARENTAL CONTROL

Using the TV’s Menu System
You have many choices available to customize the digital closed-caption display. In order to help
you decide which view you like, try this:
1. In the Setup Menu for Closed Caption, turn your CC Display ON.
2. In the same menu, go to Dig. CC Style and change any setting.
3. Press CLEAR until you have cleared the menu system.
4. If you do not have a signal with closed-captioning on the TV screen at this time,
change to another digital station that does have closed-caption display.
5. Return to SETUP/Closed Caption/Dig. CC Style options.
6. Now your TV is displaying custom closed-captioning. As you change size, font,
opacity, caption color or background color, you will be able to see the change it will
make to the closed-caption display by waiting for new text to scroll onto the screen.
Not all digital stations carry digital closed captioning. If your digital station doesn’t
carry digital closed captioning, you won’t see these changes. You’ll see the station’s
default style for analog closed captioning.

development of the plot, character or theme, intended for adult audiences. Other
Content Guidelines: May contain graphic language and explicit portrayals of
nudity and/or sex.
14+
(Viewers 14 and over) Programming contains themes or content which may not
be suitable for viewers under the age of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to
exercise discretion in permitting viewing by pre-teens and early teens. Violence

G
(General Audience) Programming considered acceptable for all age groups. While
not designed specifically for children, it is understood younger viewers may be
part of the audience. Violence Guidelines: Will contain very little violence, either
physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could frighten a
younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or gloss
over the effects of violent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some
inoffensive slang, no profanity and no nudity.
C8+
(Children 8 and Older) Programming generally considered acceptable for children
8 years and over to watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not
be portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict or
encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television.
Any realistic depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity
and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will
be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.
C
(Children) Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines:
Careful attention is paid to themes which could threaten children’s sense of
security and well being. There will be no realistic scenes of violence. Depictions

is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent scenes of
violence or intensely violent scenes.
(Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under
the age of 13. This program either contains several violent scenes or one or more
scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult
is therefore strongly recommended for children under the age of 13.
(Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program
is suitable for most audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that
could upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore
recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not distinguish
between reality and imagination.
G
(General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It
contains no violence, or any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is
presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an unrealistic way.

Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the
ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or
mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. Never use strong
cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will
damage the TV.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen
and inside the TV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could
increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.
Caution: Using video games or any external accessory with fixed images for extended periods of
time can cause them to be permanently imprinted on the picture tube (or projection TV picture
tubes). ALSO, some network/program logos, phone numbers, etc. may cause similar damage.
This damage is not covered by your warranty.
