Connecting the TV
Overview
Your new LCD TV can receive both analog and digital (HD and SD)
broadcasting signals from antenna, satellite and cable TV company.
To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and
choose the correct display format (see “Using the WIDE Button” on page
50). It is strongly recommended to connect the cable and antenna inputs
using a 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A
300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like,
resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep
it as far away as possible from the TV.
Making Video and
Audio Connections
The signals that enter your TV and connected devices will need to output in
the correct format using the suitable connections. Below are different types
of video connectors available these days. Your TV comes with all types of
connectors with the exception of the DVI connector but your cable box or
satellite receiver may be equipped with this type. When connecting your TV,
use the inputs that are available on your devices that provide the best video
performance, as to below.

About Using S
VIDEO
If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack
(shown at left), you can use an S VIDEO cable for improved picture
quality (compared to an A/V cable). Because S VIDEO carries only
the video signal, you also need to connect audio cables for sound, as
shown below.

Other Information
Problem Possible Remedies
Black bands appear at the top .
Some wide-screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9
and bottom of the screen
(this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these
programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details,
check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program
provider).
Certain programs on DVD or
other digital sources display a
loss of detail, especially during
fast-motion or dark scenes
.
The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your
TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or
dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your TV’s large screen
and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for certain digitally recorded
programs. Adjust the reality/clarity in the DRC Palette setting (see page 72) to
optimize the picture while viewing these sources.
Audio
Problem Possible Remedies
Good picture, no sound .
Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 42).
.
Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Audio setting (see page 75).
.

.
When the HDMI IN input is in use, surround sound, such as AC-3 and DTS,
cannot be input. Change the sound setting for the external input device to Linear
PCM.
Audio noise .
Communication problems may occur if infrared communication equipment (e.g.,
infrared cordless headphones) is used near the TV. Use headphones other than
infrared cordless headphones. Also, if you use infrared communication equipment
other than infrared cordless headphones, move the infrared transceiver away from
the TV until the noise is eliminated, or move the transmitter and receiver of the
infrared communication equipment closer together.
Cannot gain enough volume
when using a cable box
.
Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable box’s remote control. Then
press TV (FUNCTION) once (the TV indicator lights up) and adjust the TV’s
volume.
Sound seems weak or
insufficient
.
The TV’s audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to
Stereo. In the Audio setting (see page 75), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If
already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce background noise
during weak stereo broadcasts).
Cannot raise the volume on .
If the Speaker option is set to Off and the Audio Out option is set to Fixed (in
external speakers
order to output the sound to your audio system), use your audio receiver to adjust
the sound (see page 75). Or, to use the TV remote control, set the Audio Out
