Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket before all connections are made.

Place the TV on a solid surface.

For ventilation, leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV. Do not place the TV on a carpet. To prevent any unsafe situa- tions, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity. Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water. The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

2Basic connections to the TV

Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.

-SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan) video.

-HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture. Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater. Images are much more distinct, free of flicker and motion is smoother.

Your TV has an integrated HDTV tuner, which receives and decodes terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM) signals and displays them. There are two ways to obtain HDTV content:

-through a cable provider

-through an antenna.

Note: Use the illustrations on the left for cable or Antenna connections.
