Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen
Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image
retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the
screen when displaying a still image.
Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left,
right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

CONNECTIONS
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with 300
Ω Flat Twin Leads’ below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with 75 Ω
Round Leads’.
If you have two antennas, see ‘Separate VHF and UHF Antennas’.
Antennaswith300ΩFlatTwinLeads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or ‘rabbit ears’) that has 300Ω twin
at leads, follow the directions below.
1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Ω adapter (not
supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2. Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Antennaswith75ΩRoundLeads
Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine
the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an
optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2. Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.
Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable
channels.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1. Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT OUT’, ‘VHF OUT’ or simply, ‘OUT’.
2. Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-
way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT IN’, ‘VHF IN’ or simply, ‘IN’.
2. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3. Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4. Connect an RF cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
5. Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6. Connect the last RF cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN terminal on the rear of the TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the ‘A’ position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the ‘B’
position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to ‘B’, you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s
output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
Connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via HDMI
This connection can only be made if there is an HDMI Output connector on the external device.
1. Connect an HDMI Cable between the HDMI IN 1 (DVI), 2 or 3 jack on the TV and the HDMI jack on the DVD / Blu-ray Player
or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).
What is HDMI?
HDMI(High-Denition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals
using a single cable.
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital
Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
Each DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel conguration.

Connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via DVI
This connection can only be made if there is a DVI Output connector on the external device.
1. Connect a DVI to HDMI Cable or DVI-HDMI Adapter between the HDMI IN 1 (DVI) jack on the TV and the DVI jack on the
DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).
2. Connect Audio Cables between the PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack on the TV and the DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite
receiver (Set-Top Box).
Each DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel conguration.
When connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box), match the color of the connection
terminal to the cable.
When using an HDMI / DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1 (DVI) jack.
Connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via Component cables
The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) to
your TV.
1. Connect a Component Cable between the COMPONENT IN (1 or 2) [Y, PB, PR]jacks on the TV and the COMPONENT [Y, PB,
PR] jacks on the DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).
2. Connect Audio Cables between the COMPONENT IN (1 or 2) [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the TV and the AUDIO OUT jacks on the
DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).
Component video separates the video into Y (Luminance (brightness)), Pb (Blue) and Pr (Red) for enhanced video quality.
Be sure to match the component video and audio connections. For example, if connecting a Component video cable to
COMPONENT IN 1, connect the audio cable to COMPONENT IN 1also.
Each DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel conguration.
When connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box), match the color of the connection
terminal to the cable.
