2. Choose a location for your TV.
• Allow at least four inches of space on all sides of
the TV help prevent overheating.
• Avoid locations where light may reflect off the
screen.
• See the stand requirements under “Important
Information About Your TV.”
3. Install the batteries in the remote control. See
Chapter 3, “TV Operation,” for information on use
and care of the remote control.
4. Plug your TV into a power outlet. The POWER indicator
on the front of the TV will start blinking rapidly. After
the
POWER indicator stops blinking, press the POWER key
to power on the TV.
5. When the Welcome screen appears the first time you
power on the TV, select a language for TV menus.
You can later change the language through the
Setup
menu.

c. When the Setup menu opens, press to highlight
the on-screen Demo Mode Off button.

diagrams. You can reassign device names later if
needed. See

Menu Settings.”
8. Memorize channels if you plan to watch over-the-air
channels or programming over direct cable. Channel
memorization may take up to 15 minutes to complete.
See
“Setup Menu” in Chapter 4, “TV Menu Set-
tings,”

additional setup and customization through the TV
menus.
