Before You Begin
Choosing a Language for Menus
When you power on the TV for the first time, you can
select either English or Spanish for all menus. You can
later change the language through the Setup menu.
Figure 1. The Welcome screen lets you change the menu
language when you first power on the TV.
ClearThought® Easy Connect Auto Input
Sensing
This TV’s ClearThought® auto input sensing feature
allows it to detect most connections automatically. The
first time you connect each device you will be prompted
to identify it by selecting from a pre-set list of device
names. The table below defines how connections on
each TV jack are handled.

IEEE 1394
If the device is powered off when connected, detec-
tion will occur when the device is next powered on.
1. Connect your devices to the TV.
The TV and the devices can be either on or off when
connecting. If the TV is powered off, the detection
process will occur the next time you turn on the TV.
2. When the Auto Input Sensing screen opens (figure
2), you can accept the default name or press to
select from a list of device names (e.g., cable box,
DVD, Satellite, VCR).
Choose a name that will help you when selecting
inputs in the Input Selection menu.
3. Press
EXIT to close the screen. If you connected
several devices at the same time, the screen for the
next connection will open.
Figure 2. The Auto Input Sensing screen appears when a
device is first detected. Select a name for the connected
device in this screen.
More About Auto Input Sensing
• You can change the input name at a later time using
the Input Name menu.
• If you disconnect a device and then later connect a
different device to the unused jack, open the Input
Name menu to update the device name.
• Antenna inputs (
ANT 1/ANT 2) and TV outputs are
never detected.
• Be careful to choose different names for each input.
IEEE 1394 Connections
The screen in figure 3 appears when you make an IEEE
1394 connection, The TV can recognize up to seven IEEE
1394 devices at one time. If you connect more than one
device of the same type, a unique identifier is added to the
name for each one. For example, if you connect three A/V
discs, you may see
AV Disc, AV Disc1, AV Disc2.
IEEE 1394 Device with an Analog Connection.
Some IEEE 1394 devices have both digital and analog
outputs to the TV. If you have such a device, place a
check mark in the
Analog Connection check box to:
• Allow a cable box with both analog and digital outputs
to switch automatically between them.
• Allow you to use a TV menu to select either the analog
or digital output from the device.
For instructions on switching between analog and digital
outputs, see chapter 7, “Using IEEE 1394 Devices.”
