Learning about your new TV
Youcan operate your TVby using the buttons on the front panel or the remote control. All the terminals on
the front and the back panel provide the connections you will need to connect other equipment to your TV.
Caution:
The TV power plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only one way into a standard
electrical outlet(120VAC,60Hz).If the plug does not fit into the outlet, try turning it around. If the
plug still does not fit, the outlet is probably non-standard and must be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
Do not tamper with the plug or try to force it into a non-standard outlet.
Selecting a location for the TV
1) Place the TVon the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where light does not directly hit the screen.
2) Place the TVfar enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause
overheating, which may damage the TV.
Note: The above figures are for reference only, please refer to the actual units to determine their appearance.

Connecting your TV
To enjoy the terrestrial signal transmitted by your local TV station, you need an indoor or outdoor aerial (not supplied).
Perfect picture quality requires a good signal and generally means that an outdoor aerial must be implemented. The
exact type and location of the aerial will depend on your particular area. Consult your local dealer or service
personnel for best advice. If you are a subscriber of your local CATV net, the outdoor or indoor aerial is not needed.
Connect the equipments as the following figure.

Connecting a cable converter box
This television has an extended tuning range and can tunemost cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box. Some cable companies offer[premium pay channels] in which signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which
is generally provided by the cable company.
For subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial
Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.
For subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the
incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown below. Set the television to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box(usually channel 3 or 4)and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select
channels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels
require the use of a Converter/Descrambled box, you may wishto use a two-set signal splitter(sometimes
called [two set coupler]) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store.
Follow the connections shown below. With the switch inthe B position, you can directly tune any
screwed channels on your TV. With the switch in the Aposition, tune your TV to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control.
