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 be|bre you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Relier to the Important Sa|iety Instructions on page I.
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 astand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelfso 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 abovethe TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight
down the middle of the TV.
• If your antenna uses300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.Also, keep the twin lead canes 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 Saiiety Instructions on page I.
Use Indirect Light
Don't place the TV where sunlight or room lighting win be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirectlighting.

"IV+ A/V Receiver or Speakers
These are two different ways your TV uses a component to hear audio.
1. Connect audio cables to either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO L and R OUTPUT jacks and to the Audio Inputs
on the A/V receiver.
*FIXED provides fixed-level audio output From the TV. This audio output is ideal |br connecting to an
A/V receiver that has its own volume control.
', VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels can be controlled by the volume
controls on the TV and TV remote control.

2. Use speaker wire to connect the TV to external speakers.
" The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the TV's internal speakers on or ofL lfyou connect
external speakers, slide the switch to EXT so the audio is sent to the external speakers only.
Choosing INT sends the audio to the TV's speakers only.

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable
components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan
components.
Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-
controllable component,
Note:TheIVbutton can't beprogrummed on thisremote,.

then release both buttons,
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY,then wait 5 seconds or until the

component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to
search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAYuntil the component turns oft or you have searched through all of
the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes, If the component does not turn off after pressing
PLAY 20 times, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component,
If the component you want to control does turn off:
I. Press and release REVERSE,then wait 2 seconds, Repeat this step until the device turns back
