The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may become
hot. This is normal operation and does not affect the performance
of the set.

Ensure good ventilation.

Do not block the ventilation holes of the TV and do not place the

Why is the “ANT/Cable” option at
the top of the “Input select” menu
gray-out and cannot be selected?
z
During “First time setup”, step 3, you indicated that the “Antenna/
Cable in” connector is “not used” (p. 13). This is the proper setting
if the TV is connected to a Cable or Satellite box via any of the
other inputs. To re-activate the “ANT/Cable” input, press MENU,
select SETUP and then redo the First time setup, selecting
Cable or Antenna in step 3.
Some menu items are grayed-out
and cannot be selected. Why?
z
Depending on certain modes or the selected input, some options
are not available. For example, Zoom adjustments are only
available when the FORMAT is changed to zoom mode.
