The Front of Your TV
Front Inputs
The TV has front inputs for convenience: one set of audio/video inputs, an S-Video and a headphone jack. Locate the jacks either on
the front of the TV or on one of the sides. You can access the component you connected to the front of the TV by pressing the INPUT
button on your remote until FRNT appears on the screen. The jacks are ideal for using a video game console or a camcorder.
Note: When connecting a device that uses a monaural cable, such as some camcorders, use the Left (mono) input jack to get sound from both speakers.
PHONES Allows you to connect headphones to listen to the sound coming from the TV. To adjust volume control of the headphones,
press the VOL > or VOL < button (the volume display appears). Press the arrow up or down button (the headphone volume display
appears), then press the right or left arrow button to adjust the headphone volume.
VIDEO (in) Receives video from another component such as a VCR, camcorder or video game console.
L/MONO and R AUDIO Receives audio from another component such as a VCR, camcorder or video game console.
S-VIDEO (in) Allows you to connect an S-Video cable from another component. Make sure you also connect audio cables from the
component to the TV.

How to Use the Remote Control to Complete the Initial Setup
The technical term is “Navigation” – how you move through the on-screen menus. The theory is the
same throughout the menu screens: highlight your choice and select it.
To highlight a menu item, press the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight one of the items listed
on the screen. Use the up or down arrow button to move up or down. Use the right or left arrow
button to move right or left.
To select the item that you’ve highlighted, press OK.
Note: Highlighted means that the menu item stands out from other menu items on the list (appears darker, brighter,
or a different color).
Turn on the TV
Press TV on the remote, or press POWER on the TV’s front panel.
Note: Pressing the TV button not only turns on the TV, but puts the remote into TV mode. “TV mode” means that the
buttons on the remote control operate the TV’s functions.
Complete the Initial Setup
The menu system in your TV allows the TV’s features to work properly. The first time you turn on
your TV, the setup screens appear.
