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.
Step 3

Plug the end into the wall outlet, matching the wide blade of
the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be sure to insert the
plug completely.
Step 4
Put batteries in the remote.
•
Slide the battery compartment cover off back of the remote.

The front side of this foldout, which should be used in conjunction
with the First Things First section of the User Manual, diagrams 10
recommended connections for hooking up the TV to a cable box or
antenna, one or two VCRs, a DVD player, and a satellite receiver. 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.
The reverse side of this foldout contains a first-time setup guide, as
well as brief descriptions of the remote control buttons and

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.
