Overview

1. Usage Features
2. Maintenance Features

This document serves as a Quick Start Guide for LG OLED55C2* and OLED65C2* series televisions, providing essential information for initial setup, usage, and maintenance. It is designed to help users quickly get their new TV up and running.

The primary function of this device is to provide a high-quality visual and audio entertainment experience. As an OLED television, it is capable of displaying vibrant colors, deep blacks, and excellent contrast, making it suitable for watching movies, TV shows, playing video games, and viewing other multimedia content.

Usage Features:

The guide begins with an "Unpacking" section, which is crucial for the initial setup. Users are instructed to check their product box for all included items. In case of any missing accessories, they are advised to contact the local dealer where the product was purchased. This ensures that all necessary components, such as the remote control, power cable, and stand parts, are available before proceeding with the assembly. The guide also notes that images in the manual may vary from the actual product and item, which is a common disclaimer for visual guides.

The setup process is broken down into several steps, illustrated with clear diagrams. The first step, labeled "1," shows the process of attaching the stand to the television. This typically involves carefully laying the TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches, then securing the stand components to the back of the TV using screws. The diagrams indicate the correct orientation and placement of the stand parts.

Step "2" illustrates the process of connecting the TV to a power source and other peripherals. This includes plugging in the power cable, as well as connecting external devices such as cable boxes, gaming consoles, or sound systems. The diagrams show various ports on the back of the TV, such as HDMI, USB, and antenna inputs, guiding the user on where to plug in each cable.

Step "3" depicts the final placement of the TV and initial power-on. This involves carefully lifting the TV with the stand attached and placing it in its desired location. Once positioned, the user can plug the TV into a wall outlet and power it on for the first time. The guide implies that after this step, the TV will be ready for initial configuration, such as language selection and channel scanning, which are typically part of the on-screen setup wizard.

The manual also provides a detailed overview of the various input and output ports available on the TV, which is essential for connecting a wide range of external devices. These include:

• USB IN: For connecting USB storage devices to play media files or for software updates.
• HDMI IN (including eARC/ARC): Multiple HDMI ports allow for connecting devices like Blu-ray players, game consoles, and soundbars. The eARC/ARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel/Audio Return Channel) port is specifically highlighted, indicating its capability to send audio from the TV back to a compatible sound system with a single HDMI cable, simplifying wiring.
• LAN: An Ethernet port for wired internet connectivity, offering a stable connection for streaming and online services.
• OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT: For connecting to external audio systems that support optical input, providing high-quality digital audio.
• AV IN: Composite video and stereo audio inputs for connecting older devices like VCRs or legacy game consoles.
• ANTENNA/CABLE IN 1 & 2: Inputs for connecting an antenna for over-the-air broadcasts or a cable TV connection.
• IR Blaster: An output for connecting an IR blaster cable, which allows the TV to control other devices (e.g., a set-top box) via infrared signals, even if they are hidden in a cabinet.

Several important notes are provided regarding port usage:

• Users are warned not to look directly into optical output ports due to the potential for laser beam damage to vision.
• It is mentioned that audio with ACP (Audio Copy Protection) function may block digital audio output.
• Regarding USB hubs, the guide advises connecting USB devices directly to the TV if a hub is not working, and to connect an external power source if a USB device requires more power.
• For ARC functionality, it clarifies that an external audio device supporting SIMPLINK and ARC must be connected to the HDMI IN eARC/ARC port with a high-speed HDMI cable. This allows the external device to output SPDIF audio without an additional audio cable and supports SIMPLINK, LG's HDMI-CEC feature for controlling multiple devices with one remote.

The guide also illustrates the use of the remote control, showing various buttons and their functions, such as power, volume, channel, and menu navigation. It highlights specific actions like pressing and holding a button for 5 seconds or 15 seconds, indicating different functionalities or access to specific menus.

Another section provides diagrams for wall mounting, showing the VESA mounting pattern and the recommended screw size (M6) for the OLED55/65C2* models. This is crucial for users who choose to mount their TV on a wall rather than using the included stand. The diagrams include measurements in centimeters, indicating the spacing of the mounting holes.

Maintenance Features:

While the guide does not explicitly detail extensive maintenance procedures, it implicitly suggests good practices through its warnings and recommendations:

• Careful Unpacking and Handling: The emphasis on laying the TV on a soft surface during stand assembly and carefully lifting it implies the need for gentle handling to prevent physical damage, which is a key aspect of device longevity.
• Proper Cable Management: The clear diagrams for connecting cables encourage organized wiring, which can prevent strain on ports and cables, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring reliable connections.
• Accessory Availability: The instruction to contact the dealer for missing accessories ensures that users have all the correct parts for proper setup, preventing the use of incompatible or makeshift components that could harm the device.
• "Read Safety and Reference" Section: The guide explicitly points to a "Safety and Reference" document (not included in this quick start guide), which would contain detailed safety warnings, cleaning instructions, and troubleshooting tips essential for long-term maintenance and safe operation.
• Analog Gender Adapter: The note about the Analog Gender adapter being purchased separately at Customer Service indicates that specific accessories might be needed for certain legacy connections, and obtaining them from official channels ensures compatibility and quality, preventing potential damage from third-party adapters.

In summary, this Quick Start Guide provides a comprehensive, visual, and easy-to-follow introduction to setting up and initially using the LG OLED55C2* and OLED65C2* televisions. It covers physical assembly, port connections, and important usage notes, laying the groundwork for a positive user experience while subtly guiding users towards practices that contribute to the device's overall maintenance and longevity.
