3.1 Basic LCD HDTV Start Up

Select the Input Source for the HDTV by pressing the INPUT button on the side of the TV or using the Input button on the remote control. Pressing this button will cycle you through the following options: TV, AV1, AV2, Component1, Component2, RGB, HDMI1 and HDMI2.

5.Using DTV and TV with an Antenna or Cable

At first power on, the HDTV will have the DTV/TV input selected and will guide through some setup screens.

Note: If you do not see this option within the OSD, you might have selected the wrong input in the previous steps and you will need to repeat step 4 (above) to select the correct input source.
