lightning and power-line surges.
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can collide with such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them might
be fatal.

Connecting the Power Cord
1. Connect the female end of the AC power cord to the AC input on the TV.
2. As shown in the diagram, connect the male end to a wall power outlet.
• This product must be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label (AC 100~240V 50/60 Hz).
• If the TV will not be used for a long period of time, it should be unplugged from the wall outlet.
Connecting the Antenna
The antenna equipment has far more effect on reception for colour televisions than on black
and white models. We suggest you use a good-quality outdoor antenna. Following are simple
explanations for the connection of various types of antennas.
Installation of an Outdoor Antenna
For best reception it is recommended that an Outdoor antenna be used.
A: Use a combination VHF/UHF outdoor antenna.
B: Use separate VHF and/ or UHF outdoor antennas.
Household power outlet
Power cord
1. Generally speaking, 75 ohm systems have a
round cable with a BNL connector which
requires no tools. Attach the cable directly to
the input (not included).
2. 300 ohm systems have a flat "dual lead" type
cable. A 300-75 ohm transformer may be
used to attach the antenna to a 75 ohm input
(not included).

Setting up Your TV6
English
Connect the lead from the outdoor antenna to the ANTENNA/CABLE input on the rear of the
TV.
Making Connection
• Before connecting any component, please familiarize yourself with the location and type of
each input. If incorrect connections are made, picture or color quality may be adversely
affected. Please ensure that all connectors are firmly seated.
• Your DVD player, VCR or home theatre system can be connected to the rear of the TV so that
you can enjoy a complete audio-visual experience. Before connecting external devices, turn off
the power to the TV for safety.

Connecting S-Video Signal
An S-video signal provides a higher quality image to that of Composite video. It is recommended
to use this input whenever possible. If your AV equipment provides a component video output
(YPBPRor YCBCR), this should be used in preference to either composite or S-video signals.
Connecting Component Video Input (Y CB/PBCR/PR) Signals
1. Connect the S-Video output of your AV
equipment to the TV's S-VIDEO termi-
nal using an S-Video cable. Pay attention
to the direction of the connector on the
S-Video cable when inserting.
2. Connect the audio output of your AV
equipment to the TV's S-VIDEO
AUDIO L/R input terminals using an AV
cable or equivalent.

terminals using a Component video
cable.
2. Connect the audio output of your AV
equipment to the TV's COMPONENT
AUDIO L/R input terminals using an AV
cable or equivalent.
1. Of the currently available video signal
types, Component video input offers the
best quality. Component video output is
available on progressive scan DVD play-
ers and Digital television decoders. The
image quality with this type of input is
superior to that obtained with S-video.
All High Definition Television signals
must go through this input.
2. Your BenQ TV supports 1080i, 720p,
576p, 576i, 480p and 480i HDTV signals
provided by high definition AV equip-
ment such as a HDTV decoder.
3. Ensure the connector colors match, fail-
ure to connect the colors of the cables to
the corresponding colored terminals will
