Chapter 1: 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 component(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards Instructions at the
beginning of the manual.
Protect Components from Overheating
•
•
•
•
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
Don’t stack components.
If you place components 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 components.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
If a stand or base is used ensure that is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped
over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions at the beginning of the manual.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.
Connection Illustrations
The components used in the connection illustrations are for representation only. The input jacks and the output jacks
on the back of your components (VCR, DVD player, etc.,) might look different than those illustrated.

Connections & Setup
Explanation of Jacks
This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections. There are
several ways to connect components to your TV.
Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It’s important to remember
the different degrees of picture improvement for comparison. The YPbPr (component) jack is
considered an excellent improvement; S-Video and Video (composite) jacks are considered
very good; while the Antenna/Cable connection is good.

CMPT (Component) Input
•
Y Pb Pr VIDEO IN For connection of components that have component output jacks (Y, Pb, Pr), such as a
personal computer, HD receiver, DVD player, or other device with component outputs.
The Y Pb Pr jacks provide excellent picture quality because the video is separated into three signals.
•
•

from both speakers. Go to the Sound menu, highlight Sound Type and then choose Mono.
VID1 Input
•
S-VIDEO IN The S-Video (super video) jack provides better picture quality than the regular video jack
because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white
(luminance) part of the picture.
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables to the AUDIO IN jacks because the
S-VIDEO cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
•
•
R AUDIO IN Provides right audio connection when using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack. The right audio
connector is usually red.
L/Mono AUDIO IN Provides left audio connection when using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack. The left audio
connector is usually white.

AUDIO). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the component
button light on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the
component button stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the
component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the
next set of codes, still pointing the remote at the component.
Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through
all of the codes. The component buttons flash when all codes have been searched, the component
button turns off, and remote exits Automatic Code Search.
If the component you want to operate does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the component button on the remote turns off.

Using the Remote Control
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. While pressing the component button, enter the code from the remote control code list. If the
component button flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.
5. Release the component button.
6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If
it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
•
If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component
responds to the remote commands.
•
If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method.
If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Because this universal remote can operate several different components, it uses operational modes triggered
by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the TV, you would press the TV
button to put the remote into TV mode before you could operate the TV.
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, VCR, etc.) to set the remote to operate the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode.
You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you
want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
The Learning Feature
Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control other
components you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned commands
for that component mode.
After you program the TV’s remote control to operate the other component, the TV’s remote provides most of
the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the component’s original remote control
that your TV’s remote control doesn’t have. For example, your DVD remote control might have an ANGLE
button that enables you to change the angle of the picture, but your TV remote doesn’t have that button. The
learning feature enables you to record the functionality of a specific button from the original remote control
to one of the TV’s remote control buttons.
Note: All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different component to that
mode.

Using the Remote Control
Adding a Learned Function
There are several things to consider before you begin the learning process:
•
•
•
•
You can’t record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV’s remote control: component
buttons (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX/HD, and AUDIO), the CLEAR button, and the LIGHT
button.
Before adding a Learned Function, you must program this TV’s remote control to operate that
component because programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that
component mode.
Do the learning process in low light areas because too much natural light or fluorescent light might
cause the learning feature to fail because the remote control functions are recorded (learned) by
sending infrared (IR) signals.
The TV’s remote and the original remote should be no more than 2 inches apart.
Up to 2 inches apart
•
•
In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the other, you must make sure the Infrared
(IR) transmitter of the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’s remote (see
illustration). To accomplish this, you may have to hold a remote in each hand instead of laying both
on the table.
The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player’s remote
control, you must press the DVD button first before the learned function will work (in TV mode, the
button where you’ve stored the learned function will continue to work as it always has).
1. Press and hold the component button on the TV’s remote that applies to the function you will be
adding (DVD, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, or AUX/HD). The component button lights.
2. On the TV remote, press and hold the RECORD button.
3. Keep pressing both of the buttons (the component button and the RECORD button) until the
component button light turns off, flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.
4. On the TV’s remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new
function (the component button turns off and then back on).
Note: If you press an invalid button on the TV remote, one of the component button flashes 4 times
to alert you. You’ll have to repeat step 4.
5. With the remote controls facing each other and no more than 2 inches apart, press and hold the
button of the component’s remote control that has the functionality you are recording to the TV’s
remote control. Keep pressing the button until the TV remote’s component button light turns off
and back on (the function has been saved to the TV remote). If all component buttons flash 4
times, the function wasn’t learned. Try again starting with Step 4.
6. The TV remote control remains in “learning mode” so you can continue adding functions to
different buttons by repeating steps 4 and 5. Or, press CLEAR to exit learning mode.
Notes: If you want a new function on a button, you must record (learn) over it.
The amount of memory each learned function uses in the TV’s remote control varies. If your TV
remote is out of memory, the component button(s) light flashes 4 times and turns off, exiting you
from the Learning mode.

Using the Remote Control
Clearing a Learned Function
To delete a learned button function, use the procedure below.
1. Press and hold the component button (the component button lights). Then press and hold the
CLEAR button for 3 seconds (the component mode button flashes—turns on and off again).
2. Release the component and CLEAR buttons (the component button being cleared turns on). Remote
is now in Clear learned function mode.
3. Press and release the button where learning is to be cleared. The component button blinks off then
back on—the learned function was cleared successfully.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all buttons’ learned functions have been cleared.
Note: If an invalid button is pressed, the component mode button(s) flashes 4 times and the
selected component button stays on and remote remains in Clear Learned Function mode. Repeat
step 3.
5. Press the CLEAR button to return the TV remote to its original operation mode.
Deleting ALL Learned Functions
This procedure erases all learned functions in every component mode of the remote.
1. Press and hold the CLEAR button (the current component button lights). Then press and hold the
ON•OFF button (component button light turns off for 3 seconds, flashes, turns on and off) while
continuing to hold CLEAR.
2. Release both buttons (current component button turns on).
3. Press any component button to delete all learned functions in all modes. Remote is automatically
exited from this mode.
Note: Pressing the CLEAR button will NOT delete all learned functions, but will exit the Delete
mode.
Volume Punchthrough Feature
You may find this feature helpful if you’ve connected your components to an audio/video receiver (A/V
receiver) or amplifier, but you want to use the TV’s remote control to operate the volume for a
component that is connected to the audio/video receiver. An example follows:
Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio/video receiver. You’ve also programmed your
TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player gets its volume through the audio/
video receiver, you would have to bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the A/V
receiver’s remote to adjust the volume and the TV’s remote control to operate the DVD player.
The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a
button press when you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV
remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the A/V receiver whenever the TV remote is in
DVD mode.
Therefore, after you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TV remote is
in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only have to press the
VOL + or VOL- buttons. Follow the instructions below to set up Volume Punchthrough.
1. IMPORTANT: First, you must program the AUDIO button on the TV’s remote control to operate your
audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 12 for instructions. If you can’t program this remote to
operate your audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won’t work.
2. While setting up Volume Punchthrough, it’s best to point the remote away from components.
3. Decide which mode the remote will be in when the volume from the audio receiver “punches
through.” The mode will be one of the component buttons (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, VCR, or AUX/HD).

Using the Remote Control
4. Press and hold the VOL- button. Keep pressing VOL- while you press and release the component
button you chose in step 3 (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, or AUX/HD).
5. Press and release the AUDIO button since the sound will be coming from the audio/video receiver.
Release the VOL- button.
6. Now, test it by turning on your audio receiver or amplifier.
7. Turn on the component that is connected to the audio/video receiver or amplifier (a DVD player, for
example).
8. Put the TV’s remote in DVD mode by pressing the DVD button, and play a disc.
9. Press VOL+ or VOL-. The volume from the audio receiver should increase or decrease accordingly.
Deleting ALL Volume Punchthrough Commands
To delete all programmed Volume Punchthrough settings and return the remote control back to the factory
defaults, press and hold the VOL- button (the component button of the Volume Punchthrough lights).
While holding the VOL- button, enter the code, 000, using the number buttons. All component buttons
turn on for 2 seconds and then turn off. The remote returns to the factory settings.
Note: If an invalid button is pressed, all component buttons blink 4 times and turn off. At this point,
you must start over.

children cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel
controls. The Parental Control menu also involves software inside your
TV (referred to as V-Chip) which lets you program your TV so it won’t
display certain programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other
content you may believe children should not view. Once you block
programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a
password to unlock video or enter the password to edit the features in
the Parental Control menu. By default, the software inside your TV is
turned “off,” so if you don’t want to use this feature, you can just
ignore it.

How V-Chip Works
The V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with
programs. That code tells the software 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 and the TV is locked and you tune
to a program whose rating exceeds the rating limit you set, you will
receive a message telling you that the program is not approved for
viewing.
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 and the TV is locked. 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 listed on the next page.

unsuitable for children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content themes:
crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V).
TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) Contains some material that many parents would find
unsuitable for children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in
monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch
unattended. This program contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely
suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense
violence (V).
TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for
younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The
program contains one or more of the following content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D),
infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or moderate violence (V).
TV-G (General Audience) Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It
contains little or no sexual dialogue (D) or situations (S), no strong language (L), and little or
no violence (V).
TV-Y7 (Directed to Children 7 years and older) Designed for children ages 7 and above. It
may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to
distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may
include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age
of 7.
TV-Y (All Children) Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience,
including children from ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.
Canadian English V-Chip Rating System
18+ (Adults) Programming intended for adults 18 and older. It may contain elements of
violence, language, and sexual content which could make it unsuitable for viewers under 18.
Violence Guidelines: May contain violence integral to the 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 Guidelines: May contain intense
scenes of violence. Could deal with mature themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion.
Other Content Guidelines: May contain scenes of nudity and/or sexual activity. There could be
frequent use of profanity.
PG (Parental Guidance) Programming intended for a general audience but which may not be
suitable for younger children (under the age of 8). Parents may consider some content
inappropriate for unsupervised viewing by children aged 8-13. Violence Guidelines: Depictions
of conflict and/or aggression will be limited and moderate; may include physical, fantasy, or
supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines: May contain infrequent mild profanity, or
mildly suggestive language. Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.
G (General Audience) Programming considered acceptable for all ages 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 of aggressive behaviour will be
infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary, comedic or unrealistic in nature.
Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language, nudity or sexual content.
Canadian French V-Chip Rating System
18+ (Adults) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or
extremely violent scenes.
16+ (Viewers 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program
contains frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.
13+ (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.
8+ (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.

If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words,
movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher
ratings.
To block movies:

the highest rating you want the child to watch is PG.)
2. Press the OK button to change from View to Block. All higher ratings automatically change
to Block.
3. If the TV is not locked, you must lock it so the movie rating limits will take effect.

After you block movie ratings, you have the option of changing some of the rating status
buttons back to View:
1. Highlight the rating you want to view.
2. Press the OK button to change the button from Block to View.
For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can change the
rating status corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be able to watch all movies
with a G, PG, and NC-17 Rating.
3. Exit the screen, and be sure the TV is locked.

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.
