Connections & Setup
20 Chapter 1
Plug in the TV
Plug the flat end of the cable into the power jack on the back of the TV. Then plug the end of the
power cord into an appropriate wall outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely. Do not plug
into an outlet controlled by a light switch. The TV needs some power to acquire guide listings, do
recordings, etc.
Note: When you first plug your TV into an outlet, the Power LED indicator on the front
panel will light for approximately 15 seconds and then go off during the initialization of the
TV. The TV can only be turned on after the Power LED indicator goes off. This happens every
time power is reapplied to the TV.

Complete the Assisted Setup
The technical term is “Navigation” – how you move through the on-
screen menus. The method is the same throughout the menu screens:
highlight your choice and select it.
To highlight a menu item, put the remote into TV mode by pressing
the TV button then MENU. Press the arrow buttons on the remote to
highlight one of the items listed in the menu. 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).
