Connections and Setup

Plug in the TV

Plug the flat end of the cable into the power jack on the back of the TV. Then plug the other end of the power cord into an appropriate wall outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely. Do not plug the TV into an outlet controlled by a light switch.

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

Tip

When remote batteries are low, the device button 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.
