Guidelines for Setting Up and Using Your New Widescreen TV

Getting Started

1.Review the important safety, installation, and oper- ating information at the beginning of this book.

2.Choose a location for your TV.

•Allow at least four inches of space on all sides of the TV to help prevent overheating. Over- heating may cause premature failure of the TV as well as shortened lamp life.

•Avoid locations where light may reflect off the screen.

•See the stand requirements under “Important

Information About Your TV.”

3.Install the batteries in the remote control. See this page for instructions. See page 27 for more on use of the remote control.

4.Plug your TV into a power outlet. The green LED on the front of the TV will start blinking rapidly. After the green LED stops blinking, press the POWER key to power on the TV.

5.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.

6.Connect your audio/video (A/V) devices to the TV and perform initial setup.

•See chapter 3, “TV Connections,” for connec- tion diagrams.

•See the following pages for initial TV setup and use of the Auto Input Sensing feature.

•To connect the TV to a personal computer, see “Using the TV with a Personal Computer,” page 17.
