Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing damage.

Mounting Your TV to the Wall

To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.

 

Model L26HD31/L26HD31S

Purchase a VESA 100 x 100, M4 screw

 

 

 

 

 

Model L32HD31/L32HD36

Purchase a VESA 200 x 100, M4 screw

 

 

 

 

Model L40HD36

Purchase a VESA 600 x 400, M6 screw

 

 

 

 

The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example, 600x400 refers to fact that the mounting measurements are 600mm horizontally and 400mm vertically.

Notes:

Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.

The space between the TV and the wall must be at least 40 mm.

Obtain the Signal

The first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive analog and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT.

Before you connect your TV, you have to determine whether you will be using an antenna or a cable service to obtain the signal.

What You Need

Antenna (Rabbit Ears) Or Outdoor Antenna with Coaxial Cable

Plug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV. You are ready to receive off-air local digital and analog channels.

Cable Service

Plug the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV. You are ready to receive your cable channels.

Set-Top Box

If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable company or satellite service provider. They may recommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.

What You Need to Know

Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the local digital channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digital stations available using your antenna.

When you watch TV, the Channel Banner displays the type of channel currently viewed. A “D” at the bottom of the screen denotes digital channels and an “A” denotes analog channels. For more information on Channel Banners, see page 30.
