First Things First
Step 1
Unpack the TV. Make sure to locate the remote control and
Connections Foldout.
Important Stand Information
CAUTION: Choose the location for your TV carefully. Take
precautions that the stand or other furniture the TV is placed on
is properly located (see Important Safeguards sheet) and of
adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from accidentally
being tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause
damage to the TV and/or personal injury.
Step 2: Connecting your TV
If you're only going to connect the TV to your home antenna or
cable system, use the "TV Only" connection shown below. If
you're going to connect the TV to a VCR, satellite receiver, DVD
player or other component, look at the Connections Foldout. The
Connections Foldout details recommended connection schemes
for hooking up the TV to a cable box or antenna, one or two
VCRs, a laserdisc player, and a satellite receiver.
TV Only
This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to
your TV. Connect the cable as shown. If you have a VCR or other
components to connect to the TV, skip to the top of the next
page.
TV with other Components
Use the Connections Foldout to connect your TV to a VCR, DVD
player, and/or satellite receiver. After connecting your TV and
other components, proceed to the next step. See Appendix A for
detailed information about using each of these connections.
If your components don't match those shown on the foldout, or if
you prefer a different connection, see your dealer or specific
component user manuals.
