Selecting a location for the TV

•Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where light does not directly hit the screen.

•Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the TV.

Connecting your TV

If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables are not supplied.)

•A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

•Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded accord- ing to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner as the cables.

•S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.

•Component video cables provide better picture performance than S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with component video compatible components.

•HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 15).
