See Connect Accessory Devices, p. 22-23.
- Antenna
Via antenna you can watch whatever DTV programs being broadcast in your
area for free.
If you're not sure what HDTV programming is available in your area, contact
your local content provider or your local electronics store retailer.
Broadcasters are in the middle of a transition from analog to digital TV. This
means that a given broadcaster will have two channels on the air, one analog and
one digital.
Connect the incoming antenna signal to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 n
=lr" jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 8 for details on using Autoprogram
to store channels in the TV's memory.
Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the
station you are watching,
Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)
Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels as cable systems, and
often at a lower price. To get these channels, you'll need to install a small dish
antenna outside.
There are 2 main DBS systems: DirecTV & DishNetwork. These systems require
separate, proprietary set top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send
them to your digital TV set. These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-
air DTV broadcasts.
Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the
market in which you live.
DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable because they are in
rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line.
DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.
Before installing your TV or before hanging it on the wall, connect all your
accessory devices. See p. 20.
Refer to the bottom of the set for the correct operation voltage. Insert the power
cord in the wall socket.
Consult your local dealer if your mains supply is different. To prevent damaging
the mains (AC) cord which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the
TV on the cord.
O Remote control:
Insert the 2 batteries supplied (Type R6-1,SV). Be sure the (+) and (-) ends of the
batteries line up correctly (inside of case is marked.)
The battenes supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Please
check on how to dispose of exhausted batteries according to local regulations.
Turn the TV on:
Press the power switch O at the side of the TV. You may also press +CH/PAGE-
or POWER button on the remote control.
An indicator on the front of the TV lights up.
