Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen
Do not display a still image on the LED panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image
retention is also known as screen burn. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the
screen when displaying a still image.
Watching the LED TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the
left, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or
a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are not
covered by the Warranty.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images. To
prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

CONNECTIONS
Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with 300
Ω Flat Twin Leads’ below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like the diagram to the right, see ‘Antennas with 75 Ω
Round Leads’.
If you have two antennas, see ‘Separate VHF and UHF Antennas’.
Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or ‘rabbit ears’) that has 300Ω twin
at leads, follow the directions below.
1.
Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Ω adapter (not
supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2.
Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads
Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine
the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an
optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1.
Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2.
Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.
Cable without a Cable Box
Plug the incoming cable into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Because this TV is cable-ready, you do not need a cable box to view unscrambled cable
channels.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
1. Find the cable that is connected to the ANT OUT terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT OUT’, ‘VHF OUT’ or simply, ‘OUT’.
2.
Connect the other end of this cable to the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-
way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1. Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANT IN terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled ‘ANT IN’, ‘VHF IN’ or simply, ‘IN’.
2.
Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3.
Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4.
Connect an RF cable between the ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
5.
Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6.
Connect the last RF cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN terminal on the rear of the TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the ‘A position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the ‘B’

Viewing the Connection Panel
The product color and shape may vary depending on the model.
1 POWER INPUT
The location of the POWER INPUT may be different depending on its model.
2 LAN
Connect a LAN cable to this port to connect to the Network.
3 ANT IN
Connects to an antenna or cable TV system.
Use an antenna cable which is smaller than 14 mm (0.55 inch).
4 HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2, 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO IN
Connects to the HDMI jack of a device with an HDMI output.
No sound connection is needed for an HDMI to HDMI connection.
Use an HDMI cable which is smaller than 14 mm (0.55 inch).
What is HDMI?
HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video
signals using a single cable.
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth
Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD / Blu-ray player / Cable Box /
Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI
cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack and the audio cables to the PC/DVI
AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-ray player /
Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
Use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for DVI connection to an external device. Use a DVI to HDMI cable or DVI-HDMI adapter
(DVI to HDMI) for video connection and the PC/ DVI AUDIO IN jacks for audio. When using an HDMI / DVI cable
connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack.
When connecting via DVI, a separate audio connection must be made. Use a 2RCA to 3.5mm miniplug cable for this
purpose.
