See Connect Accessory Devices, p. 22-23.
Via Antenna
Via antenna you can watch whatever DTV programs being broadcast in your area
for free.
If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in your area, contact your
local content provider or your local electronics store retailer.
Broadcasters are in the middle of a transition from analog to digital TV. This means
that a given broadcaster will have two channels on the air, one analog and one
digital.
Connect the incoming antenna signal to the CABLE/ANTENNA jack at the
bottom of the TV. See page 7 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels
in the TV’s memory.
Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the
station you are watching.
Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)
Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels as cable systems, and
often at a lower price. To get these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish
antenna outside.
There are 2 main DBS systems: DirecTV & DishNetwork. These systems require
separate, proprietary set top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send them
to your digital TV set. These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-air DTV
broadcasts.
Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the market
in which you live.
DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable because they are in rural
areas or other areas not passed by a cable line.
DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.
Setting up the TV
Connect all your accessory devices. See p. 22-24.
Refer to the bottom of the set for the correct operation voltage. Insert the
power cord in the wall socket.
Consult your local dealer if your mains supply is different. To prevent damaging the
power cord which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the TV on the
cord.
Setting up the remote control
Insert the 2 batteries supplied. Be sure the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries line
up correctly (inside of case is marked.)
The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Please
check on how to dispose of exhausted batteries according to local regulations.
Turn the TV on
From main supply:
Ensure that the main supply is turned on.
A blue indicator light on the front of the TV lights up.

45 seconds. This is the lamp's start-up period. When the light goes off, press the
POWER button on the remote control or power switch . to turn on the TV.
