Connecting power

To connect the power:

• Plug the AC power cord into an AC power outlet.

Connecting a cable or satellite box

Many cable or satellite TV boxes have more than one

connection type. To get the best video, you should use

the best connection type available. For more information,

see “What connection should I use?” on page8.

Using HDMI (best)

To connect a cable or satellite box using HDMI:

1Make sure that your TV’s power cord is unplugged,

and all connected equipment is turned off.

2Connect the incoming cable from the cable wall jack

to the cable-in jack on the cable or satellite box.

3Connect an HDMI cable (not provided) to the HDMI

jack on the side of your TV and to the HDMI OUT

jack on the cable or satellite box.

4Plug your TV’s power cord into a power outlet, t urn

on your TV, then turn on the cable or satellite box.

5Press INPUT to open the INPUT SOURCE list.

6Press  or  to highlight HDMI 1, HDMI 2, or

HDMI 3 then press ENTER.

Notes

• Your TV should only be operated from the

power source indicated on the label.

• Always unplug the AC power cord from the

power outlet when you will not be using your

TV for an extended period of time.

Notes

• If the signal level for a channel is weak, the

picture may be distorted. Adjust the antenna or

use a highly directional outdoor or set-top

antenna with a built-in amplifier.

• If the picture quality is good on some channels

and poor on others, the problem may be caused

by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster

or cable TV provider.

• If you connect to cable or satellite TV without a

set-top box and experience poor picture quality,

you may need to install a set-top box to improve

signal reception and picture quality. Contact

your cable or satellite TV provider about

upgrading to a set-top box.

• Many high-definition (HD) channels upscale

standard-definition (SD) content. The picture

displayed on your TV is still displayed as SD, thus

the picture quality will not be as clear or crisp as

it would be if the content was originally

recorded in HD.

Note

An HDMI cable carries both audio and video. You do

not need to use any audio cables.
