Connecting the Television
What You Should Know Before Connecting
There are several factors to consider before you connect your television, such as where to place the television, how to
organize your external audio and video equipment, and how to protect your equipment from power surges. The
following suggestions can help you to determine how to receive the most enjoyment from your television.
•
Optimal placement for viewing
— It is recommended that viewers watch television at a distance of 9-25 ft.
from the TV. This distance should be measured from the center of the television.
•
Use of indirect light
— Position your television in an area of the room where no sunlight or room lighting will
be directed toward the TV. Many people prefer a minimal amount of light when watching television. You
should situate your television in an area of the room where you can easily control the light that shines onto the
television screen.
•
Use of a surge protector
— Consider the use of a surge protector to help prevent any damage to your
television due to electrical surges or power outages.
•
Use of a television stand
— Consider using a television stand or other type of furniture, such as an
entertainment stand, to help organize audio and video equipment. Placing the television on a sturdy stand or
table will help prevent any instability that may result in the TV toppling over and causing personal injury or
damage to the television. If you are using a television stand or wall mounting the television, use only stands
and wall mount kits that support this television’s specifications and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•
Proper cable positioning
— Insert all cables firmly into the appropriate connections and route all cables
down the sides of the back of the television, rather than directly down the center. For optimal audio and video
quality, place all external devices near the television, and use the shortest possible connection cables.
•
Refrain from blocking ventilation holes
— Be sure not to block any ventilation holes on any device. If you
stack devices, arrange them so that air circulates freely and each device has adequate ventilation.
Connecting Video Equipment
To use your television, you’ll need to connect one or more video sources, such as a television antenna, cable box,
VCR, or DVD player. You may also have other components in your entertainment system that you wish to use with your
television, such as an audio/video receiver, satellite receiver, personal digital video recorder (DVR), or video gaming
device. Use the information in the following pages to determine the best way to connect these components to your
television in order to receive the highest possible sound and picture quality.
Available Video Connections
There are multiple ways to connect your television to external video equipment. The way you connect your television
depends on the equipment you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to receive.
The following table displays how to connect a number of common video devices to your television, as well as lists the
input sources and the cables needed to make these connections. The connections are listed in order from the best
picture quality to the lowest picture quality. Use this table to determine which output connections on your video
equipment will provide the highest quality connection.
NOTE:
The television does not come with audio or video cables for connecting external equipment. Cables are
included with most external equipment.
