Chapter 5 Using your HDTV for the first time

Connecting to the Internet

Set up the Internet connection using the initial Setup App or the Network Menu in the HDTV Settings App. Your HDTV has 802.11n single-band wireless, so you can connect your TV to the Internet through your wireless home network. Or you can also connect to the Internet by plugging in an Ethernet cable from your Internet connection into the Ethernet port on your HDTV. A wired connection may provide a more consistent connection depending on the conditions in your home environment. See Network Menu on page 46 for detailed information on setting up your Internet connection.

Select Input Source

Select the input source for your HDTV by pressing INPUT on the remote control or the side of your TV. Pressing this button will cycle you through the following options: TV, AV, Comp (RGB), HDMI-1, HDMI-2, and RGB.

Turn on your device and you will see a picture on your HDTV. If there is no picture, make sure you have selected the correct input on your HDTV.
