Introduction

Thank you for choosing InFocus® ScreenPlay®

Congratulations on purchasing this InFocus ScreenPlay High Definition Television (HDTV)

featuring Digital Light Processing™ (DLP™) technology—a true viewing experience. Your purchase

decision represents an investment in a new generation of technology—DLP and HDTV. Even

though this is a technologically advanced HDTV, it is the most user-friendly of its kind—with

comprehensive on-screen instructions that guide you through all of the TV’s features.

This introduction has three parts that describe why an InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV featuring DLP

technology is an excellent choice:

Part 1: DLP—brilliance in color, design, and technology

Part 2: Why InFocus ScreenPlay is better

Part 3: Other Key Features of owning an InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV

Part 1: DLP— brilliance, in color, design, and technology

InFocus ScreenPlay brings you brilliant pictures with Digital Light Processing (DLP) system — a

brilliantly choreographed, engineering marvel that combines microscopic mirrors, light, and color

to bring you the best and brightest pictures possible.

How DLP Works

In general, DLP combines microscopic mirrors, a specially

designed semiconductor, and a color wheel to adjust light to

display the most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP HDTV

doesn’t use red, green, and blue phosphors like Plasma or

Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don’t have to

worry about screen burn (fixed video images burning onto the

screen permanently) or convergence (realigning the CRTs). The

diagram on the left illustrates the complex system.

Thin and Light

The efficiency of DLP technology enabled our design team to

create a high-performance HDTV that is about 7 inches thin and

weighs approximately 125-140 pounds (depending on model).

Digital Light Processing, DLP and DLP Cinema are trademarks of Texas Instruments. All other products and names may or may not be

Lamp Part No.________________________________

Date_________________________________________

Lamp Replacement

DLP technology uses a special lamp. Eventually, you’ll need to

replace this lamp, which you can do yourself by following the

replacement instructions on page 76. To order the correct lamp,

you’ll need to know your TV’s model number, serial number,

and lamp part number. The TV’s model number is located under

the front panel piece towards the bottom left corner. Go to page

10 for information on removing the front panel piece. The serial

and lamp part numbers are listed on the Service Model Number

sticker. The sticker is located on the lamp handle (see page 78).

For future reference, write down the information in the space

provided at the left.

Introduction

Part 2: Why InFocus ScreenPlay is better

You have chosen to embark on the next generation of TV viewing— HDTV. There are many technological advancements

that make HDTV better than analog TV, but there are basically three things about HDTV that bring you a superior viewing

experience: (1) resolution, (2) aspect ratio, and (3) digital signal and sound.

Resolution (it’s math...that works for you)

The crisp, lifelike picture that people rave about when experiencing true HDTV is due to the resolution this technology

provides. The resolution is measured by calculating the number of active lines of pixels. A pixel (which stands for picture

element) is a small dot. The picture you see on your TV is composed of these dots.

A regular, analog television only has a resolution of about 200,000 pixels (480 vertical pixels x 440 horizontal pixels =

211,200 pixels). The HDTV format is capable of more than 2 million pixels (1,920 x 1,080 = 2,073,600).

More pixels equal more detail. In summary, HDTV is capable of resolution that is up to 10 times the resolution of the

picture on a regular, analog TV!

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is simply the width and height of the picture. Regular TVs

use a 4:3 aspect ratio, which means the picture is a little wider than it is

tall (a screen that is 20 inches wide is about 15 inches tall).

When the standards were being developed for television broadcasting in

1941 by the NTSC (the National Television Standards Committee), it made

sense to adopt the 4:3 aspect ratio the film industry was using at that

time.

As TVs dropped in price and people prospered in the 1950s, the movie

industry had to find a way to get people out of their living rooms and

back to the movie theatres. That’s when they created the 16:9 aspect ratio

(also called widescreen format). When the standards for HDTV were

being developed by the ATSC (Advanced Television Standards

Committee), the 16:9 aspect ratio was chosen as the format for HDTV.

This widescreen format makes sense because it’s much closer to the way

we see. Our field of vision is actually much wider than tall because of

our peripheral vision. Not only is it closer to the way we see, but the

pictures are crisper and cleaner with more detail in the close-up and

panoramic views.

Introduction

Digital Signal and Sound

The analog television broadcast system that has been used in the United States for the past 50 years transmits signals as

electronic waves. These waves can suffer degradation as the signal travels to your home. Additionally, the analog waves are

susceptible to interference from planes passing overhead, weather, and household appliances.

Digital signals, in contrast to analog signals, can be reproduced precisely because the images are transmitted and received

using the computer language of 1s and 0s. Such precision yields a signal that is capable of displaying studio-quality picture

and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound.

Part 3: Other Key Features of Owning an InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV

Your InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV is equipped with many features that will enhance your viewing experience. The following

section highlights some of your TV’s most unique features. For details about many of the TV’s features, go to Chapter 3.

Integrated HDTV Tuner with Digital Cable Ready QAM

Your HDTV’s tuner is digital cable ready (no need for a cable box to view unscrambled digital cable programming). The

CableCARD™ slot on your HDTV allows you to use a digital cable card to access digital cable. The tuner is able to decode

all 35 formats of digital television broadcasts, and it can interpret unscrambled digital cable signals because it includes QAM

(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation).

Note: A digital cable card may be necessary to view scrambled (encrypted) channels. Contact your cable provider for

more information. Go to page 20 for more information.

TruScan Digital Reality

The intelligent signal processing of TruScan Digital Reality recognizes incoming video signals and progressively converts

them to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It also recognizes when original film sources have been modified and

can automatically convert the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail--a process commonly

referred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.

User-friendly Features Help You Personalize Your TV

• You can customize your TV to fit your viewing taste and match the

lighting where you watch TV by using Personal Presets and/or the

automatic picture quality settings: Vibrant (Day), Natural, Cinematic

(Night), Videogame, Professional. You can adjust each input jack to a

different setting and the TV will automatically adjust the picture when

you change inputs.

• Help Text: The elaborate, on-screen help text describes your TV’s

features and explains how to use them.

Introduction

FireWire® with Two-Way DTVLink®

Control your DTVLink components via your HDTV! Just link them together via the 2-way DTVLink jacks and you can

network your compatible DTVLink digital components. The two-way jacks allow the audio and video signals to flow into

and out from DTVLink components.

Compatible with the Optional Audio Video Hard Disk Drive — Pause Live Digital TV and Record

Digital Programs

Use an Audio Video Hard Disk Drive with DTVLink to pause live TV, record shows, and play them back (it records digital

broadcasts only--ATSC and QAM signals).

NetConnect

With an Ethernet connection and a web browser built into your TV, you can

access the Internet from your TV*. To use the web browser, you’ll need a

high-speed connection, such as a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) unit or cable

modem and a subscription to an ISP (Internet Service Provider). DSL, cable

modem, and ISP subscription sold separately.

*The browser can’t interpret all types of files, such as streaming audio and

video.

To get the most out of your HDTV’s web

browser, use the supplied keyboard

designed specifically for your TV.

Audio System

Enjoy the great sound system in your HDTV with 60 watts total power. A 7-band on-screen graphic equalizer allows

customization of the sound quality. TruSurround XT™ solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two

speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through the internal television speakers.

You can take advantage of the 6-Channel direct Audio Outputs (Matrix Surround, Subwoofer, etc.) if you have an amplifier

you want to connect to your HDTV. Then choose to control the volume from the TV or the amplifier in the Fixed/Variable

Output option in the Audio Connections menu. If you own an amplifier with digital audio, connect to the DIGITAL AUDIO

OUTPUT instead.

Audio/Video Output Jacks

Because the VCRs in most households are analog and can’t receive or record digital TV signals, recording HDTV broadcasts

wasn’t possible without purchasing additional equipment. Having the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks allow you to record

both analog and digital programs. InFocus understands how you watch TV and what’s necessary to make the transition to

HDTV seamless.

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet or

power strip. NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

• Turn off the TV and/or component(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety

Instructions packed with your TV.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air

can circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it

won’t flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

Use Indirect Light

Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or

indirect lighting.

Using a Stand

If a stand, base, or cabinet is used, insure that it is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV

from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury

and/or damage the TV. Refer to Important Information on the inside front cover and the Important

Safety Instructions packed with your TV.

Explanation of Jacks and Cables

The diagrams that follow illustrate jacks found towards the back of the TV.

When connecting cables, be sure to connect corresponding outputs and inputs

(video input into video out, right audio input into right audio out, etc.).

This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections

(cables may be ordered separately by calling the number on page 82). There

are several ways to connect components to your TV.

Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It’s

important to remember the different degrees of picture quality for comparison.

The HDMI/DVI, DTVLink, and component jacks are considered excellent;

S-Video is very good; composite jacks are good, while connecting components

to the Antenna or Cable Input is fair.

If an unusual pattern appears when you connect a VCR to these jacks,

playing a tape or switching to the VCR’s tuner removes the pattern.

AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS

INPUT 1 COMPOSITE INPUT Connect an NTSC (analog) component. These

jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The

audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio,

and white for left audio).

•R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

•L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

•V (Video) provides composite video connection and connector is usually

yellow.

•S-VIDEO lets you connect an S-Video cable for better picture quality to a

component with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or DVD player. When

using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio cables as well as the

S-Video connector.

The S-Video jack provides better picture quality than the composite video

jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal

is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

INPUT 3 COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog)

video component such as a VCR. The jacks are the same as described above for

INPUT 1.

INPUT 2 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second

NTSC (analog) video component with either composite or component outputs

such as a VCR.

•R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

•L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

• Y/Video PB PRUnlike a single video input, component (Y PB PR) video

maintains the video signal as three separate parts through these three jacks.

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the

Y PB PR connections. Accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals. If you’re

connecting to a component with a Video jack instead, you can still use the

Y/Video jack. Go to the Connections menu, select Video Input Setup and

choose Composite video as your source. Go to page 64 for more

information.

Notes: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables

because the Y, PB, PR cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.

PIP can only be displayed from component inputs in 480i format.

INPUT 4 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a

second optional component video source, such as a DVD player or satellite

receiver. The jacks are the same as described above for INPUT 2.

Y (green)

PR (red)

PB (blue)

respond to the remote.

ETHERNET Connect a router, cable modem, or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)

modem to the TV using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5). Do not connect a telephone

cable because of risk of fire or shock. A green light on the jack means that an

active network has been detected. An orange light on the jack means the data is

either being sent or received.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to

connect your TV to a compatible Dolby Digital* and/or PCM receiver and/or

decoder. Dolby Digital offers theatre-quality sound (six audio channels). If you

own a receiver that uses an optical cable input, you can use an optical cable to

connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality. Go to the Digital

Audio Out screen in the Audio menu to select Auto Select or PCM as the output

for this jack.

Note: This TV’s optical digital output jack fully complies with the

international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is

designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3® or PCM) receiver or

decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with

IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a

connection using anything other than a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM)

receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage to

headphones or speakers.

DTVLink DTVLink uses a connection and jack better known to some as IEEE-

1394 or FireWire®. It is a compressed digital video input/output offering an

IEEE 1394-type connection that meets the CEA specifications. This connection is

a high-speed way of interconnecting 1394 compliant consumer electronic

components. If your 1394 component has the DTVLink logo on it, it should

work with this TV. Use either or both connectors to connect compatible

DTVLink components but don’t loop the components together. When

connecting several components, use a hub or component-to-component

method. Be sure to connect the fastest of the DTVLink components closer to

the connection point of the TV and the slower components furthest away.

How to Connect: TV + DTVLink Components

Two connection methods when connecting DTVLink® components are: component-to-component or hub. The

component-to-component method is each component connected in a chain-like fashion, one to the other with the first

component in the chain connected to the DTVLink jack on the TV. The hub method is basically the same but using both

DTVLink jacks with two separate chains of components connected. Your TV is a control center for the connected

compatible components, automatically recognizing each component and placing it in the Input list: press the INPUT button

until you see the component name in the channel banner at the top of the screen.

Note: If you’ve tuned to a DTVLink input, you can control some basic transport functions on the component like

RECORD, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REVERSE, PAUSE, and PLAY when remote is in TV mode.

Three types of 1394 connectors are available on DTVLink components; 4-pin connector (no power); 6-pin connector (with

power) and 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Your DTVLink is a 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Both

the 4-pin and 6-pin connectors are capable of sending digital audio and video, and digital control signals back and forth

between components. If you should have some components with 4-pin connectors, 4-to-6 pin adapter cables are available

from your local electronic stores.

You should know:

• Connect your DTVLink components to either DTVLink jack.

• Only compatible DTVLink components are to be connected to the DTVLink input/output jack.

• Do not loop the DTVLink components back to the TV. That is, each component should have only one connection

point to the TV, or the network might not work.

• Place the slower components at the end of the chain and the faster ones closest to the TV in the chain for faster

communication speed. See component’s manual for 1394 network speed.

• The TV can’t decode DV format of some camcorders, but it can decode/accept MPEG2 format from some camcorders.

• Set your DTVLink component in the DTVLink Setup menu for specific recording options. Go to page 65 for more

information.

Note: The TV sends audio/video through the DTVLink jack only to a component that enforces video copy protection.

How to Connect: TV + Router via the HDTV’s ETHERNET Jack

The illustration above provides you with a general connection to the TV’s ETHERNET jack so you can maximize your

HDTV’s browser to surf the Internet. You don’t need to connect a computer to surf the Internet. A computer is only needed

if you want to view photos or graphics on your TV that are stored on your computer (then you don’t need cable modem/

DSL or Internet access). An Internet Service Provider subscription is necessary to access the Internet.

You should know:

• Only use the Ethernet connection if you are connecting a router to the TV’s ETHERNET jack.

• It is highly recommended that the router have DHCP capability.

• The keyboard is needed to effectively surf the Internet via your HDTV’s internal web browser and to enter names of

websites.

• A router enables you to network several components, such as a computer, cable modem, or DSL modem. You’ll need to

set up each component that is connected to the router. Use the manuals that accompany your router and other Internet

components for specific instructions.

To connect the router to the TV, use a CAT5 cable (not provided) to connect the ETHERNET Input Jack on the back of your

HDTV to the ETHERNET Output Jack on the router.

The complexity of the setup required to make all of the components and the router work with your HDTV depends upon

your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most ISPs will automatically fill in the information needed during setup, but if you are

asked for specific information while setting up the router and other components you will need to contact your ISP. Go to

the Ethernet Setup menu on page 66 for more information on the Ethernet setup.

Using the Remote Control

You’ll use these buttons when you

program the remote for other

components.

Programming the Remote to Operate

Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands of remote-

controllable VCRs, audio components, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite

receivers and other components.

The AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional

remote-controllable component: satellite receiver, cable box, DVD, VCR, and

an audio component. A second and third InFocus ScreenPlay TV can be

programmed to any component button, except the TV button. Go to page 66

for more information on programming the remote to another TV.

Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote to control

any component; it controls only this TV.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to

operate one of the components connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the

following:

1. Turn on the component (in this example, a VCR).

2. Point the remote at the component.

3. Press the corresponding component button (in this example, VCR).

4. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn’t respond,

you need to program the remote to operate it.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control to operate other

components: Automatic Code Search and Direct Entry.

Using Automatic Code Search

Note: The AUX button can only search VCR codes, but can be used for

a non-VCR device by programming it with direct entry method.

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each

of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without

programming any of your components, press and hold CLEAR until the

indicator on the remote turns off.

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR, DVD,

etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until

the component button on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3. Point the remote at the component.

Important Note: The remote

may not be compatible with all

models of all brands of

components. It also may not

operate all functions of your

component.

Using the Remote Control

4. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the component button stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the

component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search

the next set of codes.

Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched

through all of the codes. The component buttons flash when all codes have been searched,

the component button turns off, and remote exits Automatic Code Search.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns

back ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the component button on the remote turns off.

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the

indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.

5. Release the component button, point remote at component, and then press ON•OFF to see if

the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button

and then ON•OFF again.

• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the

component responds to the remote commands.

• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code

search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible

with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve

Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite

receiver, etc.), it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons.

1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, AUX) to set the

remote to control the component.

2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of

components.

If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong

mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to

operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the

remote in VCR mode.)

32 Chapter 2

Using the Remote Control

The Learning Feature

Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control

other components you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all

learned commands for that component mode.

After you program the TV’s remote control to operate the other component, the TV’s remote

provides most of the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the

component’s original remote control that your TV’s remote control doesn’t have. For example, your

DVD remote control might have an ANGLE button that enables you to change the angle of the

picture, but your TV remote doesn’t have that button. The learning feature enables you to record

the functionality of a specific button from the original remote control to one of the TV’s remote

control buttons.

Note: All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different component

to that mode.

Adding a Learned Function

There are several things to consider before you begin the learning process:

• You can’t record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV’s remote control:

component buttons (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX, and AUDIO), the CLEAR button, and the

LIGHT button.

• Before adding a Learned Function, you must program this TV’s remote control to operate that

component because programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that

component mode.

• Do the learning process in low light areas because too much natural light or fluorescent light

might cause the learning feature to fail because the remote control functions are recorded

(learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals.

• The TV’s remote and the original remote should be no more than 2 inches apart.

• In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the other, you must make sure the

Infrared (IR) transmitter of the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’s

remote (see illustration). To accomplish this, you may have to hold a remote in each hand

instead of laying both on the table.

• The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player’s

remote control, you must press the DVD button first before the learned function will work (in

TV mode, the button where you’ve stored the learned function will continue to work as it

always has).

Up to 2 inches apart

Chapter 2 33

Using the Remote Control

1. Press and hold the component button on the TV’s remote that applies to the function you will be

adding (DVD, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, or AUX). The component button lights.

2. On the TV remote, press and hold the RECORD button.

3. Keep pressing both of the buttons (the component button and the RECORD button) until the

component button light turns off, flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.

4. On the TV’s remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new function

(the component button turns off and then back on).

Note: If you press an invalid button on the TV remote, the component button flashes 4 times to alert

you. You’ll have to repeat step 4.

5. With the remote controls facing each other and no more than 2 inches apart, press and hold the

button of the component’s remote control that has the functionality you are recording to the TV’s

remote control. Keep pressing the button until the TV remote’s component button light turns off and

back on (the function has been saved to the TV remote). If all component buttons flash 4 times, the

function wasn’t learned. Try again starting with Step 4.

6. The TV remote control remains in “learning mode” so you can continue adding functions to

different buttons by repeating steps 4 and 5. Or, press CLEAR to exit learning mode.

Notes: If you want a new function on a button, you must record (learn) over it.

The amount of memory each learned function uses in the TV’s remote control varies. If your TV

remote is out of memory, the component button(s) light flashes 4 times and turn off, exiting you

from the Learning mode.

Clearing a Learned Function

To delete a learned button function, use the procedure below.

1. Press and hold the component button (the component button lights). Then press and hold the CLEAR

button for 3 seconds. Continue depressing both buttons (the component mode button flashes—turns

on and off again).

2. Release the component and CLEAR buttons (the component button being programmed turns on).

Remote is now in Clear learned function mode.

3. Press and release the button where learning is to be cleared. The component button blinks off then

back on—the learned function was cleared successfully.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all buttons’ learned functions have been cleared.

Note: If an invalid button is pressed, the component mode button(s) flashes 4 times and the selected

component button stays on and remote remains in Clear Learned Function mode. Repeat step 3.

5. Press the CLEAR button and your TV remote returns to its original operation mode.

Deleting ALL Learned Functions

This procedure erases all learned functions in every component mode of the remote.

1. Press and hold the CLEAR button (the current component button lights). Then press and hold the

ON•OFF button (component button light turns off for 3 seconds, flashes, turns on and off) while

continuing to hold CLEAR.

2. Release both buttons (current component button turns on).

3. Press any component button to delete all learned functions in all modes. Remote is automatically

exited from this mode.

Note: Pressing the CLEAR button will NOT delete all learned functions, but will exit the Delete mode.

34 Chapter 2

Using the Remote Control

Volume Punchthrough Feature

You may find this feature helpful if you’ve connected your components to an audio/video receiver

(A/V receiver) or amplifier, but you want to use the TV’s remote control to operate the volume for

a component that is connected to the audio/video receiver. An example follows:

Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio/video receiver. You’ve also

programmed your TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player gets its

volume through the audio/video receiver, you would have to bounce back and forth between two

remote controls: the A/V receiver’s remote to adjust the volume and the TV’s remote control to

operate the DVD player.

The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and

saves a button press when you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are

telling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the A/V receiver whenever the

TV remote is in DVD mode.

Therefore, after you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TV

remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only

have to press the VOL + or VOL- buttons. Follow the instructions below to set up Volume

Punchthrough.

1. IMPORTANT: First, you must program the AUDIO button on the TV’s remote control to

operate your audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 30 for instructions. If you can’t program

this remote to operate your audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won’t work.

2. While setting up Volume Punchthrough, it’s best to point the remote away from components.

3. Decide which mode the remote will be in when the volume from the audio receiver “punches

through.” The mode will be one of the component buttons (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, VCR, or

AUX).

4. Press and hold the VOL- button. Keep pressing VOL- while you press and release the

component button you chose in step 3 (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, or AUX).

5. Press and release the AUDIO button since the sound will be coming from the audio/video

receiver. Release the VOL- button.

6. Now, test it by turning on your audio receiver or amplifier.

7. Turn on the component that is connected to the audio/video receiver or amplifier (a DVD

player, for example).

8. Put the TV’s remote in DVD mode by pressing the DVD button, and play a disc.

9. Press VOL+ or VOL-. The volume from the audio receiver should increase or decrease

accordingly.

Deleting ALL Volume Punchthrough Commands

To delete all programmed Volume Punchthrough settings and return the remote control back to

the factory defaults, press and hold the VOL- button (the component button of the Volume

Punchthrough lights). While holding the VOL- button, enter the code, 000, using the number

buttons. All component buttons turn on for 2 seconds and then turn off. The remote returns to the

factory settings.

Note: If an invalid button is pressed, all component buttons blink 4 times and turn off. At

this point, you must start over.

Chapter 2 35

Using the Remote Control

Using the INPUT Button

1. Repeatedly press the INPUT button to scroll through the available input sources until you find

the input associated with the component (such as VCR or DVD player) you want to view.

2. Once you find the input source you want, stop pressing INPUT.

• If you tune to INPUT 1 and your VCR is connected to that input, you will be able to view

your VCR. To play, stop, or rewind the VCR tape using the remote that came with your TV,

you must first press the VCR or AUX button (whichever one is programmed to the VCR) to

put the remote control in VCR mode.

There are other ways of selecting a Video Input Channel:

• Program the component (VCR, DVD, etc.) buttons on the remote control to automatically tune to

the correct Video Input Channel when pressed. For more details on Auto Tuning, see Chapter 3.

• When viewing an input, press ANT/CAB, GO BACK, or INPUT to go back to viewing channels or

use the number buttons to enter the channel number.

• To quickly access an input, press the INPUT button and the input number, for example, INPUT +

1 to access INPUT 1. Note for professional installers: This is a discrete input code.

Note: Watch the Channel Banner to see the input sources change each time you press the INPUT button.

Digital or Analog TV Channels

A single off-air antenna can pick up both analog and digital channels. Digital channels can be

made up of primary channels and subchannels.

Note: Subchannels (sometimes called minor channels) are channels associated with the

primary channel (sometimes called the major channel). A primary channel may have just

one subchannel or multiple subchannels.

Direct Tuning to a Channel

1. Make sure the remote is in TV mode by pressing TV on the remote

control.

2. Enter the primary channel number. This number appears in the

primary channel entry box. Press OK or wait a few seconds. If you

don’t enter a subchannel, the TV tunes to the lowest digital

subchannel.

3. If the primary channel number has six or fewer digits (for cable), or

two digits (for antenna) and you want to enter subchannel numbers,

press the right arrow button to advance to the subchannel entry box.

4. Enter the number of the subchannel. This number appears in the

subchannel entry box.

5. Press OK to tune to the channel or wait a few seconds and the TV

tunes to the channel.

Notes: You can always use the channel up and down buttons on

the remote control to change channels within the TV mode.

If you wait too long before entering the subchannel, the TV tunes

to the lowest digital subchannel.

Tip

If a digital and analog channel have the same primary

channel number, tune to the analog channel by

entering the analog channel number or entering the

analog channel number and then a subchannel of “0.”

Tip:

Use the channel banner to determine

whether a channel is digital or analog.

A digital (ATSC or QAM) channel has a

dash and second number after it (e.g.,

21-1); an analog channel (NTSC) doesn’t

(e.g., Ch 21).

Parental Controls

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that

children cannot see certain programs, channels, browser, or use the

buttons on the front of the TV. The Parental Controls menu controls the

software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which lets you program

your TV so it won’t display certain programs and movies based on

violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view.

Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by

entering a password to unlock video or enter the password to edit the

features in the Parental Controls menu. By default, the software inside

your TV is t

urned “off,” so if you don’t want to use this feature, you can

just ignore it.

The options of the Parental Controls menu are Lock/Unlock TV, Video

Input List, Cable Channel List, Antenna Channel List, USA V-Chip, Canada

V-Chip, V-Chip Unrated, Front Button Block, and Web Browser Block.

Lock/Unlock TV

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock the parental controls and the TV

using a password. It locks or unlocks channel lists. If the TV is unlocked

when watching TV, you only see the channels that have a check mark in the

Unlocked List (see Channel Lists below). If the TV is locked when watching

TV, you only see the channels that are marked as Viewable in the Locked List.

If the TV is locked, all channels can still be accessed by using the number

buttons on the remote control but may not be viewed if they are blocked

(enter password to see program).

Notes: When locking the TV, you’ll be asked to enter a password and

then to re-enter the password a second time to re-confirm your

password choice.

If you do not lock the TV, none of the settings for V-Chip, channel

block, front panel block, and web browser block take effect.

If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold the MENU/

OK button on the front panel and VOL- button on the remote for three

seconds. This resets the password only and unlocks the TV; all other

settings in Parental Controls are not changed.

Editing Channels in the Channel Lists

The Antenna and Cable Channel lists are only editable through the Unlocked List and Locked List in the Parental Controls

menu. You can remove or “hide” a channel from the Unlocked List by removing the checkmark in the checkbox. Also, you

can remove or “hide” a channel from the Locked List by selecting Blocked in the Locked List. When you press the channel

buttons, that channel will be skipped. When the TV is locked, you can still access the channel directly by using the

number buttons on the remote control but may not be able to see the video until a valid password is entered.

To save time, you can also add ALL or delete ALL channels in a list by changing the checkbox or choice field in the line

that says All Video Inputs or All Channels but be very careful because you could erase all of your selections.

Note: If a cable box is connected to the CABLE INPUT, the channel list can be edited for Cable Channel in the

Parental Controls menu. If a cable box is connected via INPUT1, the channel list cannot be edited- you can only use

channel up/down or use the number buttons.

How V-Chip Works for the USA and Canada

The V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the TV software the

program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have

blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains and the TV is locked and you tune to a program

whose rating exceeds the rating limit you set, you will receive a message telling you that the program is not approved for

viewing.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if

you block their age-based rating and the TV is locked. With the V-Chip Unrated menu, you can also block out programs that

have been given a rating of “Not Rated,” or “Exempt” and programs that are considered “unrated”. The TV age-based ratings

and content themes you can block are in the table on the next page.

Viewing Age-Based Ratings

After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of changing some

of the ratings back to Viewable (V).

1. Determine which blocked rating you want to view.

2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the rating with a

status of Blocked.

3. Press the OK button to select Viewable.

Notes: The content status fields corresponding to the unblocked

rating become Viewable as well. They and the age-based rating

status are the only fields that automatically change back to

Viewable when you complete this process.

You must remember to lock the TV for rating limits to take effect.

Blocking Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if

you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want

the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1. First, determine the lowest level rating you don’t want the child to watch (see chart of age-based

ratings on previous page).

2. Highlight the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. In the example discussed above, you

would highlight TV-PG, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G.

3. Press the OK button to toggle between Viewable and Blocked. The status for the rating listed to the

right and all higher ratings automatically change to Blocked (and B).

4. Select Lock TV from the Parental Controls menu. Enter a password and re-enter password a second

time to confirm the password.

Blocking Specific Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. When you block a content theme for a particular

rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated

TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult

language.

To block program content:

1. Determine the lowest level of content you don’t want the child to watch.

2. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the age-based ratings that

correspond with the lowest content you do not want the child to watch. (In the example

above, you would highlight TV-PG.)

3. Press the OK button to change content status from (V) Viewable to (B) Blocked. All higher

ratings’ content themes change to Blocked.

Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or age-based ratings.

You must remember to lock the TV for rating limits to take effect.

1. Press MENU on the remote control (the Main Menu appears).

2. Select Parental Controls.

3. Select USA V-Chip.

4. Select V-Chip Movie Rating.

Blocking Movie Ratings

If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words, movies rated PG and G),

then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher ratings.

To block movies:

1. Highlight the rating that is the lowest rating you don’t want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would

highlight the rating status button corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is

PG.)

2. Press the OK button to change the button from Viewable to Blocked. All higher ratings automatically change to

Blocked.

3. If the TV is not locked, you must lock it so the movie rating limits will take effect.

Note: Some movies may be given a Not Rated (NR) rating. After blocking movie ratings, you must set NR to

Viewable separately to view NR movies.

Viewing Movie Ratings

After you block movie ratings, you have the option of changing some of the rating status buttons back to Viewable:

1. Highlight the rating you want to view.

2. Press the OK button to change the button from Blocked to Viewable.

For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can change the rating status

corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be able to watch all movies with a G, PG, and NC-17 Rating.

3. Exit the screen, and be sure the TV is locked.

Canada V-Chip

Canadian TV V-Chip supports two different Canadian rating systems: English and French.

Adults. Programming intended for adults 18 and older. It may contain elements of violence,

language, and sexual content which could make it unsuitable for viewers under 18. Violence

guidelines: may contain violence integral to the development of the plot, character or theme,

intended for adult audiences. Other content guidelines: may contain graphic language and explicit

portrayals of nudity and/or sex.

Viewers 14 and over. Programming contains themes or content which may not be suitable for

viewers under the age of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting

viewing by pre-teens and early teens. Violence guidelines: may contain intense scenes of violence.

Could deal with mature themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion. Other content guidelines:

may contain scenes of nudity and/or sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profanity.

Parental Guidance. Programming intended for a general audience but which may not be suitable

for younger children (under the age of 8). Parents may consider some content inappropriate for

unsupervised viewing by children aged 8-13. Violence guidelines: depictions of conflict and/or

aggression will be limited and moderate; may include physical, fantasy, or supernatural violence.

Other content guidelines: may contain infrequent mild profanity, or mildly suggestive language.

Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.

General Audience. Programming considered acceptable for all ages groups. While not designed

specifically for children, it is understood younger viewers may be part of the audience. Violence

guidelines: will contain very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive

to themes which could frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which

minimize or gloss over the effects of violent acts. Other content guidelines: there may be some

inoffensive slang, no profanity and no nudity.

Children 8 and Older. Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over

to watch on their own. Violence guidelines: violence will not be portrayed as the preferred,

acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict or encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which

they may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low

intensity and will show the consequences of the acts. Other content guidelines: there will be no

profanity, nudity or sexual content.

C (Children) Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence guidelines: careful attention

is paid to themes which could threaten children’s sense of security and well being. There will be no

realistic scenes of violence. Depictions of aggressive behavior will be infrequent and limited to

portrayals that are clearly imaginary, comedic or unrealistic in nature. Other content guidelines:

there will be no offensive language, nudity or sexual content.

Adults. Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely

violent scenes.

Viewers 16 and over. Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains

frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.

13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This

program either contains several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to

affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children

under the age of 13.

8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most

audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the

company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not

distinguish between reality and imagination.

G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or

any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a

caricature, or in an unrealistic way.

PIP (Picture-in-Picture) Operation

The PIP (Picture-In-Picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller analog (NTSC format) picture on top of

the main analog picture. You will only be able to use the PIP window and main picture with analog channels

and inputs; PIP doesn’t support digital signals. The main and PIP channels must be from different tuners or

inputs; for example, main is from INPUT 1 and PIP is from ANTENNA INPUT. If you are only using tuners for

PIP and main, you must have the main picture from CABLE INPUT and the PIP picture from ANTENNA INPUT,

or vice-versa.

PIP Buttons

There are certain remote buttons that control the way the PIP window

works:

PIP Brings up the PIP window. Press PIP again to remove the window.

Arrows Let you move the PIP window to different areas of the screen.

SWAP Switches the video from the PIP window to the main picture.

FREEZE Freezes entire screen, including the main picture and PIP

window, if PIP is displayed.

CH CTRL (Channel Control) Lets you switch channel control between

the PIP window and the main picture. To determine whether you are

controlling the PIP or the main picture, look at the channel banner as you

change channels or press INFO button. The triangular indicator ( ) beside

the channel number lets you know which picture you’re controlling with

channel up/down, number buttons, etc.

Using the PIP Feature

The PIP feature is only available for analog (NTSC) channels; PIP won’t work when tuned to a

digital (ATSC) channel. Use the channel banner to determine whether a channel is digital or

analog. A digital (ATSC) channel has a dash and second number after it (e.g., 21-2); an analog

channel doesn’t (e.g., Ch 21). While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario

should get you started. When watching an analog channel, follow these steps.

1. Press the PIP button on the remote control. The PIP window appears on the screen and

Channel Control is automatically set to the PIP window.

2. To change the PIP channel, use the channel up and down, INPUT, ANT/CAB, number buttons,

or component buttons that have been auto tuned.

3. To change the program in the main picture window, press CH CTRL. Then use any of the

above mentioned buttons. To go back and forth between controlling the PIP window and the

main picture, press the CH CTRL button.

PIP Problems?

• If you are channel surfing in the main window and PIP disappears, you may have tuned to a

digital channel. To view PIP and the main picture, make sure that both the main and PIP

channels are analog inputs, or signals. Continue changing the channel until you find an analog

(NTSC format) channel. The PIP window will reappear.

• If you press PIP and the PIP window is gray, you may have activated the Parental Control

feature and the program exceeds the rating limits you set. For information on removing limits,

see the section “Parental Controls.”

• You cannot view closed captioning in the PIP window.

• PIP channel skips all digital (ATSC) TV channels and tunes to analog channels.

• PIP can only be displayed in analog signals from CABLE, ANTENNA, composite, S-VIDEO and

component (Y, Pb, Pr) inputs in 480i format.

Important: To use the TV’s browser, you must have your TV

connected to the Internet (e.g., cable modem or DSL) and subscribe to

an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

You can start the browser on your TV by selecting it from the main

menu. The TV front panel and remote control provide basic navigation

without a keyboard. If you launch the browser from the main menu, a

message pops up to suggest that you use the keyboard with this TV to

connect to the Internet. The supplied keyboard allows you to get

optimum use of the web browser features.

Tips

If you use the video window in the browser and you

press channel up/down and the video window seems to

disappear, this means you’ve either tuned to a channel

which is blocked or has a weak signal. Use the channel

up/down to go to another channel.

Sometimes the browser locks onto an incompatible

website and it won’t open. Exiting the browser will not

correct this condition. When the browser is restarted,

the browser returns to the last-used website. To correct

this condition, either press a FAV button to go to a

known good website or press “Address” and type in a

good website.

You can use channel up/down, ANT/CAB, INPUT, or

component buttons you’ve set with auto tuning to

tune to a different channel in the video window.

Number keys cannot be used to tune channels in the

video window.

When you start the browser for the first time, it goes to an InFocus website. All FAV keyboard buttons are also

initially programmed to that site. The FAV SEARCH and FAV HOME buttons on the keyboard default to a search

site but you can reprogram them.

The FORMAT button on your remote (or keyboard) allows you to cycle through various combinations of a less

than full screen browser and some TV video. Just press the button again to use a different format.

To close the browser entirely, press CLEAR on the remote.

You may discover that other browser windows are open. This may be the result of a pop-up window being

delivered from the site you were viewing. Press “Close Window” button to close it or click the “Close Window

icon” on the window.

Note: The browser won’t display streaming video or audio, and some animated graphics.

Saving Your Favorite Web Address

Program any favorite (FAV) key, including HOME and SEARCH, to any

website address (URL). After you’ve browsed to a favorite web address,

just press the desired key and hold it until a message appears. That site’s

address will be assigned to the key you pressed and saved in the TV.

The next time you press the key briefly, the browser will automatically

go to the site you saved. Access programmed favorite websites using

your remote by pressing FAV + number button. To view FAV HOME,

press FAV + 0; to view FAV SEARCH, press FAV + 7.

You can store 32 additional website addresses by using the following

buttons together: SHIFT and FAV, CTRL and FAV, ALT and FAV.

If you have the optional keyboard, previously visited sites are also

available as a drop-down listing from the address bar. The list can hold

only a certain number of addresses, so at some point a new address will

replace the oldest one.

You should know:

• Only digital content can be recorded with the DTVLink jacks. Analog TV programs cannot be recorded

through the TV’s DTVLink jacks.

• You can only record content if the DTVLink component connected enforces copy protection standards

(check your DVCR or AVHDD manual).

• When the TV is tuned to the DTVLink input channel and the remote is in the TV mode, you can use the

remote for some basic transport controls, such as RECORD, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REVERSE, PAUSE, and

PLAY. Some components support advanced functionality with CH+/-, Go BACK, and 0-9 number buttons.

• Don’t change channels when you are recording because recording will stop.

• A message appears when you press the RECORD button to let you know the DTVLink component is

recording the channel that you selected.

• You can record subchannels on a major channel, but only the subchannel selected is recorded.

• The program name, channel, track number, DTVLink-model name, and elapsed time for DTVLink

recordings appear in the channel banner (some information is available only for AVHDD and not for

DVCR). To access the channel banner, press INFO on the remote control. Press the up/down arrow buttons

to scroll through the track numbers (recordings) in the channel banner.

Note: Use the Recordings menu in the Main menu to play and delete recordings.

Emergency Alert System (EAS)

The EAS works only if you have a digital cable card connected to the CableCARD slot on the back

of the TV. Your cable company informs you of emergency alert information related to your state or

local-level emergencies, such as Flash Flood Warnings, Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, and

Tornado Watches. When your TV receives a state or local-level emergency, a message is displayed

that lasts approximately 2 minutes, but can be repeated if necessary. During this time, you can’t

clear the information being displayed. In the rare event that there is an national-level emergency,

your TV would tune to a channel broadcasting the emergency information.

Mirror Adjustment Over time the small mirror inside the TV may shift slightly. You’ll

notice the edges of the picture aren’t symmetrical or parallel, or one of the top corners is

too far in or out. Try adjusting the edges by using Trapezoid- Left and Right. If this doesn’t

help, use the screws behind the front panel piece to adjust the corner edges while watching

the test pattern on screen. Use a 4 mm. Allen wrench or Philips screwdriver to adjust the

screws. Go to page 10 for information on removing the front panel piece and location of

the mirror adjustment screws.

Press OK to select Mirror Adjustment and select Yes to continue. Selecting Yes resets

Trapezoid- Left and Right adjustments you’ve made.

With the test pattern on screen, look at the top corners of the test pattern. Adjust the corner

that is farthest in towards the center of the TV so the top horizontal line is parallel with the

top edge of the TV. For example, if the left corner is farthest in towards the center, turn the

left screw counterclockwise. If you feel a resistance as you turn the screw, stop turning it.

Tightening the screw more could damage it (try turning the opposite screw clockwise).

Now see if the left and right lines are parallel. If they aren’t, use the middle screw to adjust

them until they’re parallel with the edges of the TV. If necessary, use the up and down

arrow buttons on the remote to vertically center the test pattern. To exit the test pattern,

press OK, then use the Trapezoid- Left and Right option to fine tune the picture, if

necessary.

The Audio Connections menu has screens for setting up

inputs or outputs that are associated with audio:

•Fixed/Variable Out: Choose output for an amp or receiver.

•Digital Audio Out: Choose either Auto Select or PCM output.

•DVI Audio Input: Choose a TV audio input for a DVI device.

Fixed/Variable Out Displays a choice list that lets you turn the TV’s front

internal speakers on or off and set the Fixed/Variable audio output to a

fixed or variable volume output level. The choices are:

• Variable Output, Speakers On Turns the TV’s front speakers On

and allows variable output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO

OUTPUT jacks. Use this setting if the TV is not connected to an audio

receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.

• Variable Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s front speakers Off

and allows variable output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO

OUTPUT jacks. Use this setting if the TV is connected to an audio

receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.

• Fixed Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s front speakers Off and

provides fixed output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO

OUTPUT jack to a receiver or amplifier. With the Fixed Output, the

TV’s volume control, graphic equalizer, balance, and mute are

disabled. This output is ideal when connecting to an audio receiver

or amplifier that has its own remote control for controlling the

volume.

• Is an external subwoofer connected to the Subwoofer Output?

This option only appears when Variable Output, Speakers On is

selected. Select Yes if you want the low bass frequencies to be

directed from the SUBWOOFER Out jack to the connected external

subwoofer; select No if not.

Digital Audio Out Allows you to receive Dolby Digital surround sound if

transmitted and you’ve connected a six-channel receiver to the TV’s

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack with a digital optical cable. Choose the

correct setting in the Digital Audio Out menu:

• Auto Select Your TV automatically chooses between Dolby Digital

and PCM based on the audio signal it is receiving. This is the best

selection if you have a decoder with Dolby Digital and PCM that was

manufactured in the last several years.

Because an HDMI output carries the audio signal on the same

cable as the video, no setup is needed. However, if you

connect a DVI output to the TV's HDMI input, you need to

connect the separate DVI audio to one of the TV's audio

inputs and select that input in this screen. The TV will use

that audio input for sound when it displays a DVI signal.

Input 2

Input 1

Input 3

Select the TV audio input where the DVI audio is connected.

Signal Strength

This screen lists any channel EVER added to the TV. The list shows the channel

number, the station name (only when tuned, e.g. NBC), whether the channel is

digital or analog, which tuner is picking up the channel, and current signal

strength of digital channels.

When you move the highlight to the Signal Strength list, the TV attempts to tune

to that channel. You can then adjust your off-air antenna for maximum signal

strength (largest number) for the selected channel. The signal strength for a

digital channel will be shown as “- -” until the signal is strong enough for use,

then numbers will appear. Analog channels will always have the display,

“N/A”, since analog signal strength is not measured.

Only primary channels appear in the list. Digital subchannels, e.g. 8-1, 8-2, do

not appear.

Note: If you have both Antenna and Cable channels, press the

ANT•CAB button to view your Cable channels, or vice-versa.

64 Chapter 4

Using the TV’s Menu System

Channel Search

Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the terrestrial TV

channels available through the Antenna and Cable Inputs. When the TV finds an

active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations

or channels with no signal at all) aren’t placed in the channel list.

To do a complete channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For

example, if you’re only receiving cable from the CABLE INPUT, highlight Cable

Input and press OK to place a checkmark in the box. Select Start to begin the

search.

Notes: Channel Search with all options selected takes a long time to

complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being

searched.

If a cable box is connected to your TV’s CABLE INPUT or a CableCARD is

in use, Channel Search won’t work for Cable Input.

Software Upgrade

The Software Upgrade screen contains current software information and

indicates if a new upgrade is available. The software information and upgrades

can be accomplished only if you have the TV connected via the Ethernet cable

to the Internet with ISP subscription. Select the Upgrade Now button, if

available, to upgrade your software.

Note: If using a dialup service via a router connected at a dialup speed

of 56K, the Software Upgrade could take several hours or more. If the TV

is unplugged during a Software Upgrade, it could cause the TV to not

operate properly.

Signal Source

The Signal Source menu allows you to choose the source from which you

would like the signal to come: Cable Input, Antenna Input, or Video Inputs. The

same can be accomplished using the component buttons if you’ve set up Auto

Tuning on the remote or by pressing the ANT•CAB or INPUT button. But, if

you misplace the remote, this feature gives you another way to tune to a signal

source.

Screen Format

The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image of a 4:3 picture

is displayed on your 16:9 screen. The options are Normal, Cinerama, Zoom or

Stretch. If your TV receives an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image can be

displayed in one of four ways:

Normal The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered with bars on the right

and left sides of the screen.

Cinerama The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered, expanding in the

horizontal direction to fill the display with little distortion.

Stretch The image of a 4:3 video signal is stretched horizontally by

approximately 33% while the vertical size stays the same.

Zoom The image of a 4:3 video signal increases by approximately 33%

and the vertical size increases by approximately 33%. Edges of the image

might be cropped.

Note: When recording from the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, use

Normal or Stretch to record the video closest to its original format.

Turn on Automatic Format Switching so that as you change channels, the TV

will change formats for you.

Notes: There is no ability provided to change the screen format for a

16:9 video signal since it fills up the entire area of the TV’s screen.

The format of some video cannot be changed even though it appears to

be a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.

The FORMAT button on the remote lets you change the format with a

one-button press rather than navigating to the Screen Format menu.

Time Menu

The Time menu lets you set up time-related features and a DTVLink timed

recording. Time menu consists of Sleep Timer, Record/Wake Timer, and Time

of Day.

Sleep Timer A one-time event that is used to set the TV to turn off at a

specific time.

Record/Wake Timer Used to turn the TV on and off at a specific time

every day of the week and tune to a specific channel or video input. In

addition, it sets the TV to make a DTVLink recording if a DTVLink

component is connected, set up, and the channel selected is digital. See

page 51 for more information on a DTVLink Recording.

Time of Day Enables you to enter the correct time manually. If you don’t

enter the time, it is acquired from the last tuned digital channel. Make sure

you check that the time acquired is correct.

Note: If you enter the time manually, you must remember to set your

TV’s time when the time changes to Daylight Saving Time. Sleep Timer

and Record/Wake Timer will not function as you expect if you forget to

change the TV’s time.

Troubleshooting

Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting

list.

TV Problems

TV won’t turn on

• Press the TV button or ON/OFF button while remote is in TV mode and there’s a source of power to the outlet

or outlet strip.

• Make sure the TV is plugged in.

• Does the power light on the front of the TV turn on and you hear audio but see no picture? If so, the TV is in its

cool-down cycle. Wait a few moments and the picture will appear.

• Has the power light on the front of the TV been blinking for one minute? If so, the lamp is dead. Go to page 76

for replacement instructions and page 82 for ordering information.

• When you first plug your TV into an outlet, the Power indicator and Backlight on the front panel will light and

blink for approximately 30 seconds and then go off during the initialization of the TV. The TV can only be

turned on after the Power indicator goes off. This happens every time power is reapplied to the TV.

• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else, such as a

lamp.

• Something might be wrong with your remote control. Press the POWER button on the front of the TV. If the TV

turns on, check the remote control solutions on page 75.

•Remote Setup might be set to the wrong option. Press MENU/OK on the front panel. Select Connections, then

Special Features, then Remote Setup. Choose TV (default).

Power indicator is blinking or flashing

If the light blinks 5 times, pauses, and blinks again 5 times, the lamp is trying to turn on. If the TV doesn’t turn on

after 5 minutes and then the light blinks steadily for one minute, one of the following options is possible:

• Lamp door is open. Locate the door on the side of the TV and close it. Turn off the TV and turn back on. The

lamp should turn on.

• Lamp is dead. You can replace the lamp yourself following the instructions on page 76. Go to page 82 for

ordering information.

• Power supply within TV may need service. Go to page 83 for warranty information.

Buttons don’t work

• If you’re using the remote control, press the TV button first to make sure the remote is in TV mode.

• The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by

selecting the Front Button Block in the Parental Controls menu and choosing Front Buttons Unblocked.

• Unplug the TV for five minutes and then plug it back in. Turn the TV on and try again.

TV turns off

• Sleep or Record/Wake Timer feature may have been activated. Go to page 69 for instructions.

• Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn

on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.

• Unplug. Wait five minutes. Plug in again.

TV turns on unexpectedly

• Record/Wake Timer feature may have been activated. Go to page 69 for instructions.

Chapter 5 73

Video and audio are out of sync

• If you’ve connected a component, such as a DVD player, to your TV’s Video jack, and to an audio receiver using

the audio jacks, you may experience a slight delay between the audio heard and the video seen. Connect the

DVD player to the TV’s Audio jacks, then use the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to connect to an

audio receiver.

If your TV is connected to an audio/video (A/V) receiver or home theatre system via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack,

read the following information.

• If you’ve connected a component to your A/V receiver, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver, you may

experience a slight delay between the audio heard and the video seen. This occurs because the digital audio is

sent directly to the speakers while the video must be processed inside the TV before it is displayed.

• If the component has Component Video (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks, connect these jacks to the TV’s Y, Pb, Pr jacks to

minimize the discrepancy. This works best if the component supports Progressive Scan technology.

• If necessary, you can connect the component directly to the TV using L/R audio jacks and bypassing the A/V

receiver or you can program an audio delay in the A/V receiver so the audio and video match up (not all audio

equipment has the ability to program delays). Check the audio/video Receiver’s manual.

Blank screen

• Make sure you have connected the component to the TV correctly.

• Make sure the component connected to the TV is turned on and tuned to the corresponding Video Input

Channel.

• Try another channel, or press the INPUT or ANT•CAB button.

• When you first turn off your TV, the screen fades from blue to black. Once the screen goes black, the TV’s

internal lamp starts its cool-down cycle. If you try to turn on the TV during the cool-down cycle, the TV turns

back on and you’ll hear audio, but the picture will take a few moments to be displayed.

• If you’re trying to play a 1394 Recording, you may have accessed an “unrecorded” subchannel. Press the CH+ or

CH- buttons to go through the subchannels before you get to the subchannel you recorded. This occurs even

when you’ve selected to record only a specific subchannel because of how digital (ATSC) channels are broadcast

and recorded by your 1394 device—the data for the subchannel is recorded, but not the content.

Unusual sound quality

• Check the Graphic Equalizer, SRS, and Sound Logic settings.

• Check if SAP is turned on.

• Check that the Audio Mode is set to your language.

Humming or buzzing noise

• The TV is in its lamp cool-down cycle. To prolong the life of the TV’s lamp system, the TV must warm up and

cool down properly. You may notice additional noise during these cycles.

• Maybe the speakers are turned off. Check the FIXED/VARIABLE OUT control panel in the Audio Connections

menu.

No picture, sound okay

• If the indicator on the front of the TV is blinking, the lamp inside of your TV may need to be changed. Go to

page 76 for ordering information.

• You might have tried to turn on the TV during lamp cool-down. Wait a few moments and the picture will be

displayed.

No sound, picture okay

• Maybe the sound is muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.

• Maybe the speakers are turned off in the Audio Connections menu. Check the FIXED/VARIABLE OUT control

panel in the Audio Connections menu.

• If using an S-Video connection, DVI, component video and composite video, remember to also connect the

component’s L and R AUDIO OUT jacks to the TV’s L and R INPUT jacks.

• Check the Maximum and Initial Volume settings in the Special Features menu.

• The cable connected to the CABLE and/or ANTENNA INPUT jack might be loose.

• Your off-air antenna might be getting a weak signal. Move it higher or get a bigger antenna.

• If you have cables connected to the CABLE and ANTENNA jacks, try swapping the cables. Cable needs to be

connected to the CABLE INPUT; off-air antenna needs to be connected to the ANTENNA INPUT.

• If you have a cable box, you can’t connect it to the ANTENNA jack. Connect it to the CABLE INPUT or a Video

Input jack.

• Select all the options in the Channel Search menu, and retry channel search.

Can’t select certain channel

• May be blocked or not approved in the Parental Controls menu.

• If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR

or INPUT button on your VCR).

• You can’t change channels when a menu is on the screen (press the CLEAR button).

Noisy stereo reception

• May be a weak station. Use Audio menu to choose Mono sound.

Picture edges aren’t symmetrical or parallel

• The mirror inside the TV is not in the correct position. Use the Mirror Adjustment option in the Advanced

Settings menu to adjust the picture. Go to page 59 for more information.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

• Maybe the cable/antenna option wasn’t chosen in the Channel Search menu. Select Detect antenna or cable

setting in the Channel Search menu and run the search again.

• The channel might be blank — change channels.

• If you’re watching your VCR and it’s connected with coaxial cable to the CABLE/ANTENNA jack, tune the TV

to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your VCR). Also check to

make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).

• If a channel doesn’t exist and you tune to scrambled QAM channel, Unusable Signal appears.

Sound okay, picture poor

• Check antenna and video connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks and

they’re not damaged.

• Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 56 for more instructions.

• Press the FORMAT button repeatedly to view the picture in different video formats. Analog channels may look

better when you use the Normal video format (the video format appears on the right side of the channel

banner).

Black box appears on the screen

• Closed-captioning might be on. Check the Caption Display control panel in the Preferences menu. Go to page

67 for more instructions.

The Remote Control Doesn’t Work

• Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear

path.

• Maybe the remote isn’t aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) that you’re trying to operate.

• Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so the remote controls the TV.

• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. If batteries are weak, you will not be able to

activate backlighting on the remote; instead, backlight will blink once when activated. Put new batteries in the

remote. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other

components.)

• When using the Learning feature, do the learning process in low light areas to prevent natural light and

fluorescent light interfering with the infrared signals.

• For Volume Punchthrough, remember to program the AUDIO button on the TV’s remote control to operate your

audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 30 for instructions. If you can’t program this remote to operate your

audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won’t work.

•Remote Setup might be set to the wrong option. Press MENU/OK on the front panel. Select Connections, then

Special Features, then Remote Setup. Choose TV (default).

Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls

The rating limits don’t work

• You must lock the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Controls, then

select Lock TV.

I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

• If you forget your password, put the remote in TV mode. Simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the

television and VOL down on the remote for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply

unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock TV.

The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.

• Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set V-Chip

Unrated to View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.

Problems with DTVLink Recording/Playback

• Make sure the DTVLink components are not looped. See page 18.

• If the network speed seems slow, make sure the DTVLink component that has the fastest speed is first at point

of connection to TV. Check component manual’s for network speed. See page 18 for more information.

• Make sure the program is digital (ATSC or QAM) or no recording will take place.

• If a program is not recorded, it could be the DTVLink component enforces copy protection standards.

• If you cannot find the program you recorded, channel through the subchannels.

Lamp Replacement Instructions

Replacing the Lamp Unit

Your TV’s source of light comes from a lamp – similar to lamps used in film or front projectors. Although this lamp is long-

lasting, it may need to be replaced eventually.

When to replace the lamp

You probably need a new lamp if there’s no picture, but you still can hear the audio and the power light on the front of the

TV does the following: blinks 5 times, pauses, blinks 5 times again. If the TV doesn’t turn on after 5 minutes and then the

light blinks steadily for one minute, the lamp is dead. If you have any concerns, please go to

http://www.infocus.com/service or call an authorized servicer in your area.

Note: The same symptoms occur if the lamp unit isn’t seated correctly, lamp access door is ajar, or lamp power supply

needs service. Make sure the lamp access door is completely closed and the lamp unit is seated correctly.

What to do

• If your TV is still covered by the warranty, go to http://www.infocus.com/service.

• If your TV’s warranty has expired, go to http://store.infocus.com to order a new lamp, and you can install it yourself

using the directions that follow.

The lamp has been designed to make installation as easy as possible, but if you don’t follow the directions, there is a risk of

burn injury or electric shock.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS: Before you begin, make sure you read and understand all of the instructions. You must

follow all the instructions step by step. InFocus Corporation cannot be held responsible for failure to adhere to the safety

measures described herein, the safety measures on the back panel of the TV, and any other reasonable safety practices and

precautions.

Note: Lamp contains a small amount of mercury which can be considered hazardous if improperly handled or disposed.

Take proper precautions to ensure that the lamp does not break during handling. Disposal of these materials may be

regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local

authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.

You Must Wait 1 Hour Before You Replace the Lamp!

The lamp unit’s temperature can reach 200 degrees. Unplug the TV and allow the lamp to cool thoroughly (for at least 1

hour) before you remove the burnt-out lamp.

• Don’t remove the lamp access door or remove the inoperative lamp unit until you have a replacement lamp (this will

reduce the risk that children or pets will come into contact with the hot lamp, and will keep foreign objects and dust

out of the lamp unit.)

• Never allow children or pets to play with the lamp access door at any time.

• Use only a genuine InFocus lamp replacement unit.

• There are no user serviceable parts within the lamp unit itself. Don’t attempt to repair the lamp unit – attempting to do

so may cause injury, and will void your warranty.

What you’ll need to get started:

___ A flashlight

___ A flat-head screwdriver

References

Chapter 5 77

___ The correct lamp replacement unit. To order the correct lamp, you’ll need to know

your TV’s model number, serial number, and lamp type. The TV’s model number is located

under the front panel piece towards the bottom left corner. Go to page 10 for information

on removing the front panel piece. The serial and lamp part numbers are listed on the

Service Model Number sticker. The sticker is located on the lamp handle (see the following

page for sticker location).

___ The box that the lamp replacement unit came in.

1. Read the precautions listed above.

2. Make sure your hands are dry and clean before you begin replacing the lamp.

3. Unplug the TV’s power cord from the wall outlet (or power strip). Unplug the power

cord from the back of the TV.

4. Put the power cord far away from the TV. Taking this precaution will ensure that no

one plugs in the TV if you walk away from it, or when you’re waiting for the lamp unit

to cool, or when you’re installing the new lamp.

5. Wait 1 hour so the lamp can thoroughly cool. If you don’t wait at least 1 hour, you risk

getting injured!

6. After 1 hour, go to the front of the TV set and remove the front panel

piece. Go to page 10 for instructions. Find the lamp-unit access door

(located in the lower right side of the TV). Read the precautions on the

door (you may need a flashlight).

Note: Do not attempt to repair the lamp. Do not open the lamp

assembly unit — leave the lamp in its casing.

7. Loosen the screw on the door (don’t remove the screw, just loosen it).

Note: Don’t use a coin to loosen the screw because the coin could fall

into the TV.

References

78 Chapter 5

8. Press the catch tabs near the screw you just loosened (one tab is above the

screw and one is below), and remove the entire lamp access door. Place

the door to the side (don’t put it on the floor or anywhere someone might

step on it or accidentally break the tabs).

9. Loosen the screw on the lamp unit inside the TV (the screw stays with

the unit so just loosen it, don’t remove it).

10. As you remove the lamp, pay attention to how the lamp fits so that you

can use the proper orientation when you’re installing the new lamp. To

remove the lamp unit:

• grasp the handle and pull straight back to remove the entire lamp

assembly unit from the TV.

• place the old unit out of the way where it won’t get broken or

dropped.

11. Remove the new lamp assembly unit from its packaging. Make sure you do

not touch the glass surface of the lamp.

12. Make sure the lamp unit is oriented in the correct position, and gently slide

it into the lamp access opening as far as it can go (it fits snugly).

13. Tighten the screw on the new lamp unit.

14. Put the old lamp unit into the box in which the new lamp unit was

packaged.

15. Replace the lamp access door (the TV won’t turn on unless this door is in place and

properly attached).

a. Insert the catch tabs (also called latches) into the slots on the left side of the lamp

access compartment first. Then put the rest of the door in place by pivoting the

door until it is fully closed and the latches are engaged.

b. Tighten the screw.

16. Plug the power cord into the back of the TV first and then back into the wall outlet

strip.

17. Turn on the TV.

18. After the TV warms up (up to 60 seconds), you should see a picture. If you don’t see a

picture, check the following:

• Make sure TV is plugged in.

• Make sure you’ve tuned the TV to a valid channel.

• Try turning on the TV both ways: with the remote control, and then with the

power button on the front of the TV.

• Make sure the lamp unit access door is properly and completely closed.

• Make sure the screws are completely tightened.

• Unplug the power cord from the TV and from the power outlet. Return to step 7

and make sure the lamp unit is fully seated in the housing.

• If the TV still doesn’t come on, you need to have the unit professionally serviced.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.

You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet

to help assure adequate ventilation.

The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary,

you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.

Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will

damage the TV.

While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also,

avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to

the TV.
