You can use the HDMI jack to connect a DVI device to your
TV. You need to attach an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to the end
of the HDMI cable that connects to the DVI device.
Connecting power
To connect the power:
• Plug the AC power cord into the TV, then into an AC
power outlet.
Connecting a cable or satellite box
Many cable or satellite TV boxes have more than one
connection type. To get the best video, you should use
the best connection type available. For more information,
see “What connection should I use?” on page 6.
Using HDMI (best)
To connect a cable or satellite box using HDMI:
1 Turn off your TV and all connected equipment.
2 Connect the incoming cable from the cable wall jack
to the cable-in jack on the cable or satellite box.
3 Connect an HDMI cable (not provided) to an HDMI
IN jack on the back of your TV and to the HDMI OUT
jack on the cable or satellite box.
4 Turn on your TV, then turn on the cable or satellite
box.
5 Go through the setup wizard on page 15.

Cautions
• Check the jacks for position and type before
making any connections.
• Loose connections can result in image or color
problems. Make sure that all connections are
tight and secure.
• The external audio/video equipment shown
may be different from your equipment. If you
have questions, refer to the documentation that
came with your equipment.
• Always unplug the power cord when
connecting external equipment.
Notes
• Your TV should only be operated from the
power source indicated on the label.
• Always unplug the AC power cord from the
power outlet when you will not be using your
TV for an extended period of time.
Notes
• If the signal level for a channel is weak, the
picture may be distorted. Adjust the antenna or
use a highly directional outdoor or set-top
antenna with a built-in amplifier.
• If the picture quality is good on some channels
and poor on others, the problem may be caused
by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster
or cable TV provider.
• If you connect to cable or satellite TV without a
set-top box and experience poor picture quality,
you may need to install a set-top box to improve
signal reception and picture quality. Contact
your cable or satellite TV provider about
upgrading to a set-top box.
• Many high-definition (HD) channels upscale
standard-definition (SD) content. The picture
displayed on your TV is still displayed as SD, thus
the picture quality will not be as clear or crisp as
it would be if the content was originally
recorded in HD.
Notes
An HDMI cable carries both audio and video. You do
not need to use any audio cables.
