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.

1. Lift the cover at the back of the remote control upward as shown in the figure.
2. Install two AAA size batteries.
Make sure to match the "+" and "–" ends of the batteries with the diagram inside the compartment.
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.
The remote control can be used up to about 23 feet from the TV.
(Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries should last for about one year.)
If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:
1. Is the TV power on?
2. Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?
3. Are the batteries drained?
4. Is there a power outage or is the power cord unplugged?
5. Is there a special fluorescent light or neon sign nearby?

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".
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.

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.

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 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.)
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.
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".
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.

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.
Each DVD Player or Cable Box/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back
panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color
when DVD players/Cable Boxes/Satellite receivers 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 jack and the audio cables to the
DVI IN (HDMI1) [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact
the company that provided the DVD player/Cable Box/Satellite receiver to confirm the
HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.

Be sure to match the component video and audio connections.
For example, if connecting the video cable to COMPONENT IN, connect the audio cable
to COMPONENT IN also.
