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.
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with
video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 14.)
• IR blaster cable is for use with video device with IR (infrared)
remote control.
• Optical/Coaxial cable is for use with AV amplifier with built-in digital
surround (Dolby Digital or PCM.)
