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.

3. Replace the cover.
Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won’t be using the
remote control for a long time. (Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries should last
for about one year.)
If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:
Is the TV power on?
Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?
Are the batteries drained?
Is there a power outage or is the power cord unplugged?
Is there a special fluorescent light or neon sign nearby?

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
flat 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 1 IN (AIR) terminal on the back of the TV.
Antennaswith75ΩRoundLeads
Plug the antenna lead into the ANT 1 IN (AIR) 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 1 IN (AIR) 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 2 IN (CABLE) 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 2 IN (CABLE) 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 2 IN (CABLE) 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, 3 jack on the TV and the HDMI jack on the DVD Player or Cable Box
/ Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box).
What is HDMI?
HDMI(High-Definition 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.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box /
Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI
cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack and the audio cables to the PC/DVI
AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-ray player /
Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
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 configuration.
When connecting a DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box), match the color of the connection
terminal to the cable.
Use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for DVI connection to an external device. Use a DVI to HDMI cable or DVI-HDMI adapter
(DVI to HDMI) for video connection and the PC/DVI AUDIO IN jacks for audio. When using an HDMI / DVI cable
connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack.
When using an HDMI / DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack.
