Connections and Setup Connecting Speakers to Your TV Speaker brackets Note: If you're connecting a home theater to the TV using the Audio Out jacks, you don't need to connect the speakers. Go to page 18 for more information on the Audio Out jacks. There are two speakers packed with your TV you need to attach in order to hear the sound from your TV. Locate the two speakers, eight screws, and two sets of speaker wire. You'll need a Philips screwdriver to attach the screws. To connect your speakers: 1. Stand at the back of the TV and hold the speaker so the speaker grill faces forward and the speaker brackets face you, as the graphic to the left shows. Pin holes 2. The pin on the back side of the speaker bracket goes into the middle hole between the screw holes on the TV. Then attach the screws to the two holes at the top of the speaker and two holes at One conductor is copper the bottom of the speaker. Follow the same instructions to attach the other speaker. Speaker wire One conductor is gray 3. Take one set of speaker wire. Notice the conductors of the wire are different colors. One conductor is gray; the other one is copper. This is important to remember when connecting because the ends of the conductor need to go into the same colored speaker terminals on the speaker and the TV. 4. Locate the speaker terminals on the speakers and on the TV. The bottom graphic to the left shows the locations. Left speaker Speaker terminals Right speaker 5. The rubber piece on the speaker wire, called a ferrite core, should be closest to the TV when connected. Starting with the left speaker, press down on the red tab of the speaker terminal to insert the exposed wire of the copper conductor, for example, into the terminal hole. On the back of the TV, connect the other end of the copper conductor to the first red speaker terminal on the left. Connect the other conductor to the black speaker terminals, connecting on the back of the TV to the first black speaker terminal on the left. Follow the same instructions to connect the speaker wire to the right speaker. Make sure the conductors match red to red and black to black. Remove the screws from the two holes on each side of the TV's base. Mounting Your TV to the Wall Caution: The wall mount must bear a minimum of five times the TV's net weight without causing damage. You must first purchase a universal wall mount to mount your TV to the wall. Then follow these instructions: 1. You need to remove the base first in order to attach the wall mount. A. Place the TV facedown on a surface that is soft, yet strong enough to hold the TV. B. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screws from the two holes on each side of the TV's base as the arrows indicate in the graphic to the left. 2. Make sure all cables are already connected before attaching the wall mount to the TV. 3. Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall. Chapter 1 7
