•Do not insert the power plug into the wall socket before all the connections are made.

•Large screen TVs are heavy. Two people are required to carry and handle the TV.

•Before you move your TV, disconnect the cables to prevent breakage.

Wherever you decide to position your TV, ensure that you always have easy access to the power cord or plug to disconnect the TV from the power.

If the TV is mounted on a stand, ensure no strain is placed on the power cord when turning the TV. Strain on the power cord can loosen connections.

Any DTV programs that are broadcast in your area can be received for free through an antenna connection.

Contact your local content provider or your local electronics retailer if you are unsure about what HDTV programs are available in your area.

The TV has stereo sound if the broadcasting channel makes it available.

Connect to a cable

When your TV is connected to the cable socket, you may receive free digital and high definition programming (depending on your cable provider). Digital and high definition cable channels can be recognized by the format of the channel number.The channel number includes a dot "." For example, 11.1, 46.30, 108.201. Contact your cable provider for more information.

Connect to a Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)

There are two main DBS systems: DirecTV and DishNetwork. These systems require a separate, proprietary set-top box to decode signals and send them to the TV. The set-top box contains a digital TV tuner for receiving off-air digital television broadcasts.

Contact your local DBS provider for more information about the connections and the TV channels.

Connect to a set-top box
