Connecting your TV

Caution: Do not plug in the TV until you have finished connecting all of your equipments.

Connecting to an antenna

To enjoy the televison program transmitted by your local TV station, you need an indoor or outdoor antenna (not supplied). An outdoor antenna is necessary for a perfect picture quality. If you are a subscriber of your local CATV net, the outdoor or indoor antenna is not needed. Connect the equipments as shown below.

Side Panel

3 .

Connecting to A/V equipments

To enjoy the multimedia features, you can connect your TV to A/V equipments such as VCD, DVD, STB,

Satellite receiver, Camcorder, Audio amplifier etc., and select signal source using your remote control.

Connect RCA audio cables to “R -AUDIO - L” on the rear of your set and the other ends to corresponding audio out connectors on the A/V device.

NOTE: 1. Headphones are not included.

2. No sound will be heard from the main unit speakers when a headphone mini-plug is connected into the headphone jack.

Service jack

Connector for service only (do not connect any equipment here).

Connecting component devices (DVD/PVR)

Connect Component video and audio cables to Component inputs (“PR/CR”, “PB/CB”, “Y”) on the rear of your set and the other ends to corresponding component video out connectors on the PVR or DVD.

The Y, PB/CB and PR/CR” connectors on your component devices (PVR or DVD) are sometimes labeled Y, B-Y and

R-Y or Y, CB and CR (Colors for inputs and cables must correspond to both devices).

NOTE : Some devices such as a PVR or DVD players require ’Component/YPBPR’ signal to be set via output in the devices settings. Please consult your device user manual for instructions .

7


Connecting HDMI

Supports digital connections between HDMI - enabled AV devices such as (PVRs, DVD, BluRay, HDDVD, AV receivers and digital devices). No sound connection is needed for an HDMI to HDMI connection.

NOTE: Some devices such as a PVR or DVD players require a HDMI signal to be set via the output in the devices’ settings. Please consult your device user manual for instructions.

What is HDMI?

HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.

“Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio

(5.1 channels). 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, and supports multi - channel digital audio.

Use the HDMI terminal for HDMI connection to a compatible device.

If your external device has DVI only, you should use a DVI-to-HDMI cable( or adapter) for the connection, and the

“R -AUDIO - L” terminal on DVI for sound output.

Connecting Computer

Connect the D- Sub cable to “VGA (VGA IN)” on the rear of your set and the other end to the Video Card of your computer.

Connect the stereo audio cable to “VGA AUDIO IN” on the rear of your set and the other end to “Audio Out” of the sound card on your computer.

This device may not be compatible with all PC video/graphic cards .

Connecting AUDIO

Connect RCA audio cables to “R -AUDIO - L” on the rear of your set and the other ends to corresponding audio in connectors on the Amplifier or DVD Home Theater.

Connecting to a cable converter box

This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable converter box.

Some cable companies offer premium pay channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

?

For subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly into the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.

?

For subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections as shown below. Set the television to the output of the

Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

?

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/Descrambled box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes referred to as a two-set coupler) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any unscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the A position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
