The Front of Your TV

Front Inputs

The TV has front inputs for convenience: one set of audio/video inputs, an S-Video and a headphone jack. Locate the jacks either
on the front of the TV or on one of the sides. You can access the component you connected to the front of the TV by pressing the
INPUT button on your remote until FRNT appears on the screen. The jacks are ideal for using a video game console or a
camcorder.

Note: When connecting a device that uses a monaural cable, such as some camcorders, use the Left (mono) input jack to get sound from both speakers.

PHONES

Allows you to connect headphones to listen to the sound coming from the TV. To adjust volume control of the

headphones, press the VOL > or VOL < button (the volume display appears). Press the arrow up or down button (the headphone
volume display appears), then press the right or left arrow button to adjust the headphone volume.

VIDEO (in)

Receives video from another component such as a VCR, camcorder or video game console.

L/MONO and R AUDIO

Receives audio from another component such as a VCR, camcorder or video game console.

S-VIDEO (in)

Allows you to connect an S-Video cable from another component. Make sure you also connect audio cables from

the component to the TV.

Front Panel Buttons

If you cannot locate your remote, you can use the front panel buttons of your TV to operate many of the TV’s features.

Plug in the TV

Plug the end of the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. Insert the plug completely into the outlet.

v

Put batteries in the remote

Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote by pushing down on and
sliding off the cover.

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

Replace the cover.

How to Use the Remote Control to Complete the Initial Setup

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

To highlight a menu item, press the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight one of the items
listed on the screen. 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).

Turn on the TV

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

Note: Pressing the TV button not only turns on the TV, but puts the remote into TV mode. “TV mode” means that the
buttons on the remote control operate the TV’s functions.

Complete the Initial Setup

The menu system in your TV allows the TV’s features to work properly. The first time you turn on
your TV, the setup screens appear.
