Follow these steps to set up your TV and begin using its many exciting features.

3.If you need to split your TV into two sections during moving or installation, read the ÒImportant Safety Precautions for Split Cabinet FeatureÓ on page 5.

4.Consider the following when selecting a location for your TV:
