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.

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 IN terminal on the back of the TV.
ANT IN
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 300 Ω twin at leads, follow the directions
below.

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 IN terminal on the rear of the TV.

What is HDMI?
• HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is a next-generation 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,
has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
Each DVD player/Set-top box has a different back panel configuration.
The external devices that support lower versioned HDMI mode may not implement
sound output for the TV with the latest HDMI version (HDMI 1.3). In this case,
connect to HDMI IN 2 and DVI IN (HDMI 2) [R-AUDIO-L] on the back panel of the TV.
Part of lower versioned HDMI cables may cause annoying flickers or no screen
display. In this case use the cable that supports the latest HDMI version (HDMI 1.3).

channels by entering the channels digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source,
memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding or deleting channels (Channel Manager).

Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to
the TV (i.e. an Air or a cable system).
1. Press the MENU button to display the menu.
Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select "Channel", then press the
ENTER button.
2. Press the ENTER button. Repeatedly press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to cycle
through these choices: "Air", "STD", "HRC", or "IRC" (all cable TV).
Press the EXIT button to exit.
STD, HRC and IRC identify various types of cable TV systems.
Contact your local cable company to identify the type of cable system that
exists in your particular area.
At this point, the signal source has been selected. Proceed to "Storing
Channels Automatically".
