Before You Begin

Choosing a Language for Menus

When you power on the TV for the first time, you can
select either English or Spanish for all menus. You can
later change the language through the Setup menu.
Figure 1. The Welcome screen lets you change the menu
language when you first power on the TV.
ClearThought® Easy Connect Auto Input
Sensing
This TV's ClearThought® auto input sensing feature
allows it to detect most connections automatically. The
first time you connect each device you will be prompted
to identify it by selecting from a pre-set list of device
names. The table below defines how connections on
each TV jack are handled.
Auto Detection Active
INPUT 1, 2, 3 video jacks
COMPONENT video jacks
HDMI*
PC-DVI*
IEEE 1394
* If the device is powered off when connected, detec-
tion occurs when the device is next powered on.
1. Connect your devices to the TV, making note of which
TV input you have used for each device.
The TV and the devices can be either on or off when
connecting. If the TV is powered off, the detection
process will occur the next time you turn on the TV.
2. For most devices, the Auto Input Sensing screen
opens (see figure 2). With the text box highlighted,
press to select a name for the device from the
following list of names:
No Auto Detection
ANT 1/ANT 2
MONITOR OUTPUT
(all jacks)
All AUDIO jacks
Cablebox
Camcorder
DVD
DVD2
DVR (digital video recorder, recordable DVD)
Game
HD Disc (high-definition disc)
Satellite
VCR
The name you assign here will appear in the Input
Selection menu and can be changed later through the
Input Name menu.
3. Press EXIT to close the screen. If you connected
several devices at the same time, the screen for the
next connection will open.
Figure 2. The Auto Input Sensing screen appears when a
device is first detected. Select a name for the connected
device in this screen.
More About Auto Input Sensing
• You can change the input name at a later time using
the Input Name menu.
• If you disconnect a device and then later connect a
different device to the unused jack, open the Input
Name menu to update the device name.
Antenna inputs (ANT 1/ANT 2) and TV outputs are
•
never auto-detected.
• Be careful to choose different names for each input.
IEEE 1394 Connections
The screen in figure 3 appears when you make an IEEE
1394 connection,
IEEE 1394 Device with an Analog Connection.
Some IEEE 1394 devices have both digital and analog
outputs to the TV. If you have such a device, place a
check mark in the Analog Connection check box to:
• Allow a cable box with both analog and digital outputs
to switch automatically between them.
