Connecting Your Cables

TV Tuner is optional. It may or may not be equipped in your product. Please check with the authorized seller, authorized distributor or Sceptre Customer Service for further information.

Ready to Watch Some TV? (Optional)

Make sure your power cable is connected and the standby red light in the front of the HDTV is lit up.
Check all your connection cables off the side or the back of your HDTV and also your AV devices. Make sure they are all connected securely.
Turn on your HDTV and other AV devices if necessary. Select “HOME MODE”.
Press the button on the side of the HDTV or the SOURCE button on the remote control and select the correct source according to the Connecting pages.

If You’ve Connected Antenna to the HDTV

If an antenna or cable (without a cable box) is connected to your TV’s tuner, you will need to go through an INITIAL SETUP process in order to watch the HDTV.

Press MENU to open the menu
Use the ◄ or ► button to select the CHANNEL icon and press ENTER.
Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to highlight the signal type and press ◄ or ► to select your connection either AIR or CABLE.
Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH and press ENTER to scan for channels.

If You’ve Connected Cable or Satellite Set-top Boxes to the HDTV…

Source selection

Press the button on the side of the HD Display or the SOURCE button on the remote control and you will see the picture above.
Use ▲▼ buttons to select the source you want to switch to and press the ENTER button in the middle of the ▲▼ buttons.
If you have connected coax cable (the cable with a needle in the middle and a ring to tighten the connection) from the box to the display, you’ll need to change to the correct channel. Make sure your source is TV and press 3 and ENTER on the display’s remote. If that does not work you’ll need to connect your Satellite or Cable Company for support.

Please Note:

Not all broadcasts are in High Definition (HD). Please refer to your local broadcasting stations for more information.
The HD Display’s tuner is designed for HD Display therefore requires a stronger signal than normal Displays. If you cannot achieve that signal level with your antenna or cable, your HD Display might lose picture or sound.
HDMI doubles as a MHL enabled port, so if you have a cell phone that supports the Mobile High-definition Link, you can purchase a MHL cable and connect it to HDMI.
