Important Stand Information
CAUTION: Choose the location for your TV
carefully. Take precautions that the stand
or other furniture on which the TV is
placed is properly located (see Important
Safeguards sheet) and of adequate size
and strength to prevent the TV from
accidentally being tipped over, pushed off,
or pulled off. This could cause damage to
the TV and/or personal injury.
Before You Connect
Protect against power surges:
• Connect all components before
plugging any power cords into the wall
outlet.
• Turn off the TV and/or component
before connecting or disconnecting any
cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are
properly grounded. Refer to the
Important Safeguards sheet packed
with your TV.
This Connection Will Not Allow
You to Use Your PIP
Your TV is equipped with a single tuner,
which means you must connect with a
second video source using Audio/Video
Cables to view PIP. This TV Only
connection will not enable you to use
your PIP, but will get your TV up and
running quickly.
Refer to Advanced Connections for
connecting Audio/Video cables to your
VCR or other video component.
