Attach the Base
Your TV comes shipped without the base attached so that you can
choose to mount your TV either to its base or to a wall. If you want
to mount your TV to the wall, don’t attach the base and instead
follow the instructions on page 26. To attach the base, follow these
instructions.
1. Find a strong elevated surface that is soft, fl at, and very clean.
Make sure the surface doesn’t have anything on it that can scratch
the TV screen. Place the TV facedown, towards the edge of the
surface so that when you attach the base it won’t rest on the
surface.
2. Locate the base and screws.
3. If necessary, remove the two jack panel covers by pushing up on
the tabs and pulling the covers out carefully.
4. Use a screwdriver to attach the screws into the four holes on each
side of the TV’s base as the arrows indicate on the base.
5. You might want to leave the covers off until you’ve connected
devices to your TV. Go to pages 5-8 for information on connecting
your TV.
When you’ve connected devices to the jacks, cables can be
conveniently placed in the groove at the bottom of the jack panels
and the covers fi t back in place over the cables.
HDTV Information
Your LCD TV is a high-defi nition monitor, which means it is capable of receiving high
defi nition TV programs. You’ll need a separate HDTV receiver or tuner to connect to your TV
using one of the inputs that supports a high-resolution signal. Go to page 7 for an example.
If you’re connecting an antenna to the receiver or tuner, visit www.antennaweb.org to get help
deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local digital channels available to you. By
entering where you live, this mapping program tells you what local analog and digital stations
are available using a certain antenna.
Choose Your Connection
There are several ways to connect your television, depending on the devices you want to
connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. It’s important to remember the
different degrees of picture improvement for comparison. The DVI™ and Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr
(component) jacks are considered excellent; S-Video is very good; Video (composite) jacks are
considered good; while the Tuner (Antenna or Cable) connection is fair.
The following are examples of some ways to connect your TV. Choose the connection which is
best for you.
Remove the two jack covers to attach the base.
Attach the screws into the four holes on each
side of the TV’s base.
