Connections & 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. 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 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.

Put Batteries in the Remote

•Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote by pushing down on the tab and lifting cover.

•Insert 2 fresh “AA” batteries. Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are aligned correctly with the polarities inside the remote.

•Replace the cover.

Turn on the TV

Press TV on the remote, or press the Power button on the TV’s front panel.

Note: Pressing the TV button turns on the TV and puts the remote into TV mode. “TV mode” means that the buttons on the remote control operate the TV’s functions.

Tip

To access the setup menus, press MENU and choose Assisted Setup.

Use the Remote Control to Complete the Assisted Setup

The technical term is “Navigation” – how you move through the on-screen menus. The method is the same throughout the menu screens: highlight your choice and select it.

To highlight a menu item, put the remote into TV mode by pressing the TV button then MENU. Press the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight one of the items listed in the menu. Use the up or down arrow button to move up or down. Use the right or left arrow button to move right or left.

To select the item that you’ve highlighted, press OK.

Note: Highlighted means that the menu item stands out from other menu items on the list (appears darker, brighter, or a different color).

Complete the Assisted Setup

Your TV’s menu system allows you to adjust your TV’s features to be configured to work properly. On-screen information helps you choose settings to match your setup. The first time you turn on your TV, the Assisted Setup screens appear automatically. Select Begin Setup to start or select Cancel Setup to exit.
