Connections & Setup

Plug in the TV

Plug the flat end of the power cable into the power jack on the side of the TV. Go to page 10 for instructions on removing the jack panel door. Then plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate wall outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely. Do not plug into an outlet controlled by a light switch.

Note: When you first plug your TV into an outlet, the Power indicator and Backlight on the front panel will light and blink for approximately 30 seconds and then go off during the initialization of the TV. The TV can only be turned on after the Power indicator goes off. This happens every time the TV is unplugged and plugged back in.

Tip

When remote batteries are low, the component button(s) corresponding to the mode you’re in flashes when you press a button. Also, a message might appear on the TV screen and disappear within a few seconds. Press CLEAR and replace the batteries to remove the message.
