First Things First
Step 1
Unpack the TV. Make sure to locate the remote control and
Connections Foldout.
Step 2: Connecting your TV
If you’re only going to connect the TV to your home antenna or
cable system, use the “TV Only” connection shown below. If
you’re going to connect the TV to a VCR, satellite receiver, DVD
player or other component, look at the Connections Foldout. The
Connections Foldout details recommended connection schemes
for hooking up the TV to a cable box or antenna, one or two
VCRs, a laserdisc player, and a satellite receiver.
TV Only
This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to
your TV. Connect the cable as shown. If you have a VCR or other
components to connect to the TV, skip to the top of the next
page.
TV with other Components
Use the Connections Foldout to connect your TV to a VCR, DVD
player, and/or satellite receiver. After connecting your TV and
other components, proceed to the next step. See
Appendix A
for
detailed information about using each of these connections.
If your components don’t match those shown on the foldout, or
if you prefer a different connection, see your dealer or specific
component user manuals.

These diagrams use three types of cables and connectors:
Coaxial Cable is the standard cable that comes
in from your antenna or cable box. Coaxial
cables use “F” connectors.
Audio/Video Cables, also called RCA-type
cables, usually come in groups of three cables,
each one with a connector that is color-coded
according to its use: yellow for video; red for
right audio, and white for left (or mono)
audio.
S-Video is an optional video cable that
provides the very best picture. If your VCR
does not have S-Video capability, connect the
coaxial and audio/video cables only.
See Appendix A in the User Manual for detailed information on
using each of these connections.
