Selecting a location for the TV

• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in
a location where light does not directly hit the
screen.
• Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow
proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may
cause overheating, which may damage the TV.

Connecting your TV

If you haven't connected electronic equipment before, or
you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read
this section. (Cables are not supplied.)
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from
your antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use
"F" connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color
coded according to use: yellow for video and red and
white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo
right channel, and the white audio cable is for the stereo
left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear panel of
the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in
the same manner as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than
standard video cables. S-video cables can only be used
with S-video compatible components.
• Component video cables provide better picture
performance than S-video cables. Component video
cables can only be used with component video
compatible components.
