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.  
Turn off the TV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important  
Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.  
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.  
When 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.  
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference  
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV  
instead of straight down the middle of the back 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.  
Important Stand and Base Safety Information  
Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base 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 Safeguards  
sheet packed with your TV.  
Use Indirect Light  
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft  
or indirect lighting.

How to Use the Remote Control to  
Complete the Interactive Setup  
The technical term is “Navigation” – how you move through the on-screen  
menus. The theory is the same throughout the menu screens: highlight your  
choice and select it.  
OK  
To highlight a menu item, use the CHAN ^/v buttons to move up or down. Use  
the VOL +/- buttons to move left or right or to change an item’s setting.  
Use the CHAN ^/v and VOL +/–  
buttons to move through the  
menu system. Use the MENU  
button to select items.  
Use the MENU button to select menu items.  
You can also use the remote’s number buttons to select menu items directly.  
Note: Highlighted means that the menu item stands out from  
other menu items on the list (appears darker, brighter, or a different  
color).  
Turn on the TV  
Press the TV button on the remote control or the POWER button on the front  
of the TV (the first screen of the Interactive Setup appears). The menu screens  
“time out” after a period of time if you don’t make a selection. The tips in this  
section tell you how to access the Setup menu screens manually.

Connections & Setup  
Complete the Interactive Setup  
The menu system in your TV allows the TV’s features to work properly. In this  
book, we call it the “interactive setup” because the TV asks you questions, you  
answer, and the TV makes the appropriate adjustments. The first time you turn  
on your TV, the setup screens appear automatically.  
Tip  
To access the setup menus  
manually, press MENU and  
choose Setup.

The next part of the SETUP asks you if you want the TV to search for all  
channels viewable through your antenna or cable TV system. This is sometimes  
called “auto programming.”  
Would you like the TV to search  
for all available channels?

1. Press MENU to tell the TV to begin searching for channels. A progress  
report appears on the screen.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote  
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,  
turn a component ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and  
press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or channel up or channel

How to Program the Remote  
There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code  
search and direct entry. Instructions for both ways follow.  
Youll use these buttons when you program the  
remote to operate another component.  
The remote may not operate all models of  
all brands.  
Using Automatic Code Search  
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate (VCR, cable  
box, satellite receiver)  
2. Press and hold the component button on the remote control that  
corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate  
(VCR1, SAT•CABLE). While you hold down the component button,  
press and hold ON•OFF (when the light on the remote turns on,  
release both buttons).  
Tip  
To stop the automatic code search without  
programming any components, press and hold CLEAR  
until the light on the remote turns off.  
3. Press PLAY (the light on the remote, located below the ON•OFF  
button, starts flashing).  
The remote is searching the first set of component codes (there are  
20 sets of codes). If the component you want to operate doesn’t turn  
off automatically after 5 seconds, press PLAY again (the light starts  
flashing again as the remote searches through the next set of codes).  
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off.  
Note: If the component doesnt turn off after youve pressed  
the PLAY button 20 times, the component cant be  
programmed.  
4. Press REVERSE, wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component  
turns back on.  
5. To finish, press and hold the STOP button until the light on the  
remote turns off.

Using the Remote Control  
Using Direct Entry  
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate.  
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list on page 7.  
3. Press and hold the component button that corresponds to the component you want the  
remote to operate (VCR1, VCR2, SAT•CABLE, or AUX)  
4. Enter the code from the code list.  
5. Release the component button.  
6. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the remote commands. If it doesn’t, try  
pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.  
7. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand until the  
component responds to the remote commands.  
Note: If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code  
search method. If automatic code search doesnt find the code, the remote is not compatible with  
your component.  
Tip  
How to Use the Remote After Youve  
Programmed It  
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to control your  
components. To operate the component:  
The buttons might  
operate differently for  
other components,  
especially when you’re  
using another  
component’s menu  
system.  
1. Press the component button (VCR1, VCR2, SAT•CABLE, or AUX) 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 VCR1 on the remote control to put the remote in VCR  
mode.)

Parental Controls and V-Chip  
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children  
cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.  
The first three choices in the Parental Controls 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. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it wont display certain  
programs.

How V-Chip Works  
When turned on,the V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs.  
That code tells the software the programs 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 is not  
approved for viewing,when you tune to that particular channel.  
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”  
because no code has been sent by the broadcaster. The TV age-based ratings and content  
themes you can block are listed in the following table.  
Age-Based  
Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings

activity (S), or graphic violence (V).  
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  
TV-14  
following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual  
situations (S), or intense violence (V).  
Parental Guidance Suggested. Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many

content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or  
moderate violence (V).

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based  
rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that  
have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch  
TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with  
higher ratings.

Using Closed Captioning  
Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets you display the  
audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen.  
Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded  
with closed-captioning information are applicable. When a program is closed captioned, the CC  
icon is displayed in the channel banner. See Chapter 2 for more information about the channel  
banner.  
CLOSED-CAPTION MODE  
Closed-Caption Modes  
The TV offers eight closed-captioned modes, including four text modes.  
1 CC1  
2 CC2  
3 CC3  
4 CC4  
5 Text 1

which displays a few lines of captions at a time.  
Tip  
If you dont know which Closed-Caption mode  
to use, select CC1. CC1 is probably the mode  
that is used in your area. CC2, CC3, and CC4  
are reserved for foreign languages, but are  
rarely used at this time.

1. Select Screen from the Main menu.  
2. Press MENU to select Closed-Caption Display.

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 TVs 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,  
avoid placing 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.
