Before You Begin

Auto Input Sensing

The TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature automatically rec- ognizes most connections and prompts you to identify the type of device connected. See page 14 for more on Auto Input Sensing.

Connection Types

Review the connection types available on your input devices and use connections that will give the best video quality. For example, choose HDMI over compo- nent video, and choose component video over S-video or composite video.

Picture Quality

For best picture quality, route signals directly from the input device to the TV; avoid routing video signals through an A/V receiver, for example.

Surround Sound

For best surround sound audio quality, route audio- signal cables or HDMI cables from the source device directly to your A/V receiver or sound system.

IMPORTANT

Accessory items such as cables, adapters, splitters, or combiners required for TV connections are not supplied with the TV. These items are available at many electronics stores.

Cable Management

One cable tie with a locking pin is supplied with the acces- sories. Use the tie to keep cables organized and con- nected.

Installing the Cable Tie

1.Remove the locking pin from the cable tie and insert the anchor prongs into the hole on the back of the TV.

2.Reinsert the pin in the cable tie to secure the tie to the TV.

Hole in back of TV

Pry up the latch tab and push or pull

the free end of the tie through the

latch.

You may be able to lift the latch tab

by pinching the tab and latch body

between your thumb and index finger.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to leave enough cable slack below the cable tie to allow the TV to swivel freely. Without enough slack, there is a risk of damaging the cables and the TV.

You may find it easier to pry up the

latch tab using a plastic wallet card or

similar object.
