digital signals with the use of a CableCARD security module. The CableCARD is used in place of a traditional cable box
to access digital cable programming (including high definition). Contact your local cable provider for availability infor-
mation and service details.

screen.
See the stand requirements under "Important
information About Your TV."
Install the batteries in the remote control. See

and care of the remote control.
Plug your TV into a power outlet. The POWER indicator
on the front of the TV will start blinking rapidly. After
the POWER indicator stops blinking, press the POWER key
to power on the TV.
When the Welcome screen appears the first time you
power on the TV, select a language for TV menus.
You can later change the language through the Setup
menu.
Some TVs are shipped from the factory with demo

diagrams. You can reassign device names later if
needed. See "input Name Menu" in chapter 4, "TV
Menu Settings."

channels or programming over direct cable. Channel
memorization may take up to 15 minutes to complete.

To program the remote control to operate your other
A/V devices, see chapter 5, "Operating Other
Devices with the Remote Control."

ize TV operation. Press the MENU key to enter the menu
system. Some examples of settings you may wish to
change include:
Energy Mode. For faster power-on, keep the
Energy Mode set to Fast Power On. For lower
power consumption while the TV is off, use the
Low Power setting. See "Setup Menu."

appear in the Input Selection menu. See "Input
Name Menu."

Input Selection menu to put frequently used icons
near the front. See "Icon Order Menu."
• FAV. Create lists of your favorite channels so you
can find them quickly. See "Channel Menu."

or use the Timer feature to have the TV come on
automatically, you must first set the TV clock to
the correct time. See "Setup Menu."
Parental Lock. You can restrict TV viewing by
program rating or by time of day. You can also
disable the front-panel buttons--useful if you have
small children. See "Parental Lock Menu."
Video Settings. Change the video adjustments
to get the best picture for your viewing conditions.
See "Audio/Video Menu."
You may wish to change the Picture Mode from
the default Brilliant to either Bright or Natural,
which are suitable for most home viewing environ-
ments.
