IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that
is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no
additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of
this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged
wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits the appliance.

Side Connections Panel
There are four jacks on the lower-right front
side of your TV that make connecting
Audio/Video devices like video games and
camcorders very simple.
The jacks are like those found on the back
jack connection panel. This means that most
equipment that connects to those types of
jacks on the rear jackpack, may be connected
to the Side connection panel (FRONT VIDEO).
To use the Side jacks as the signal source,
select them using Input source menu as
described on page 25. They will be named
“FRONT VIDEO” in the Input source menu.
When you select Front Video or
Front S-Video, the Front Audio

If you receive your RF signal through an
antenna that is several years old and con-

purchase a 300 to 75 ohm adapter. It should
be available from your local
electronics dealer.
We recommend using a 75 ohm cable for
your antenna connection in order to prevent
interference.

Maintenance
Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will
have your new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the power cord before you begin any cleaning.
SCREEN CLEANING
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of
lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s
almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.
CABINET CLEANING
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.
EXTENDED ABSENCE
If you expect to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), unplug the power cord
from the wall power outlet to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you
use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.
P A G E 5 3
Maintenance (Continued)
PICTURE INTERFERENCE
Even though you may be getting cable, the signal may be weak, which means the quality
of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV,
consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable
service provider to determine if the problem is from the cable service.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS
If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that involve single, fixed images, such as
a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.
If static images, like network identification icons or patterns, are left on the screen for a long time
period, they may leave a permanent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of
this happening by
limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and
brightness levels.
If you unplug your TV, you may have to reset the clock using the Time menu described earlier.
P A G E 5 4
Troubleshooting
Some quick and easy tips for fixing problems yourself.

Glossary
A list of definitions for some of the words found in this guide.
75 OHM RF CABLE
A/V CABLES
The round cable that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service
provider. Each end looks like a hex shaped nut with a wire sticking
through the middle, and it screws onto the threaded jack on the back of
your TV.
Audio/Video cables. Three cables - Right audio (red), Left audio (white),
and Video (yellow). A/V cables are used for stereo playback of videocas-
settes and for higher quality picture and sound from other A/V devices.
A/V DEVICE
ADD
Any device that produces video or sound (VCR, DVD, cable box,
or television).
This function lets you add new channels to the channel list in memory
that you’ll scroll through when using your remote.
AMPLIFIER
ANALOG TV
ANTENNA
An external device that amplifies sound from a television, CD player, VCR,
DVD or other A/V device.
Traditional method of representing a television signal as a replica (analog)
of the original picture and sound.
The physical receiver of television signals sent over the air. A large metal
piece of equipment does not always have to be visible for your home to
be using an antenna.
ASPECT RATIO
The ratio of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension of a pic-
ture. Standard television in the U.S. today is generally transmitted and
displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio. High-Definition television will normally be
formatted in a wider aspect ratio, assumed to be 16:9.
CAPTIONS
A form of subtitling that writes out the dialog for your program on the
screen.
DELETE
This function lets you remove channels that you don’t watch from the
channel list in memory.
DIGITAL TV (DTV)
A new method of representing a television signal as a series of binary
numbers (1s and 0s). This method allows the signal to be manipulated to
eliminate redundancy and dramatically increase picture and sound quality.
DOLBY DIGITAL
Dolby Digital Cinema Sound is made possible by a new digital coding tech-
nique called Dolby AC-3. Dolby AC-3 produces high-quality, 5.1 channel
surround sound which is six discrete separate channels for a full range of
sound. Each channel can carry a different signal simultaneously (front
center, front left, front right, surround left, surround right and subwoofer).

Glossary (Continued)
A list of definitions for some of the words found in this guide.
FAVORITE CHANNELS
This function created a customized list of your favorite chan-
nels. You can access this group of channels with the FAV but-
ton on the remote by pressing FAV repeatedly.
INPUT
JACK
Refers to the jack that receives a signal into the TV, VCR or
other A/V device.
A connection on the back of a TV, VCR, or any other A/V
device. This includes the RF jacks and the Audio/Video jacks
that are color-coded.
MODE
The mode determines the type of device (TV, VCR, Cable, etc.)
that the remote is controlling; remote operating mode.
MONO SOUND
OUTPUT
Mono (monaural) sound is one channel of sound. On more
than one speaker, all the speakers play the same audio.
Refers to the jack that sends a signal out of a VCR, DVD, or
other A/V device.
SECOND AUDIO
PROGRAMMING/SAP
Second Audio Programming (SAP) is another, separate, audio
channel available with some programming. Choosing SAP often
refers to listening to audio in another language, such as
Spanish or French.
SIGNAL
SOURCE
Picture and sound traveling through cable, or over the air, to
your television screen.
The term for the equipment that provides audio and video
information to your TV. Antenna, VCR, DVD players, and Cable
Boxes are examples of sources.
STEREO SOUND
TUNER
Stereo (stereophonic) sound refers to audio that’s divided into
right and left sides.
Any device that picks up broadcast signals and turns them into
picture and sound.
