Turn to page 22 to do a channel search

with EZ Scan for Ant/Cable connection(s).

For best signal reception, it is recommended to have your Antenna professionally adjusted.

If you receive your RF signal

through an antenna that is several

years old and connects with two

small prongs, you will need to pur-

chase a 300 to 75 ohm adapter. It

should be available from your local

electronics dealer.

We recommend using a 75 ohm

cable for your antenna connections

in order to prevent

interference.

speaker

This is a typical speaker layout.

Any number of other speaker setups

are possible, and some changes may

be needed to maximize your sound.

However, a Dolby Digital Receiver is

required to hear 5.1 channel audio.

Left and right speakers on each

side of the TV enhance separation.

The TV's sound optional hookup

“center mode in,” makes the dialog

sound as though it’s coming directly

from the TV. The rear surround

sound speakers provide

the majority of other sounds, like

those from special effects in movies.

Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low

frequency sound, for rumbling

low-end audio.

Sound is affected by

speaker placement, so

make sure nothing is in

front of the speakers, and

that they are aimed in

appropriate directions.

You have the option of

turning the TV speakers on

or off.

PAGE 17

Monitor Out Setup

Your TV has a special signal output capa-

bility which allows you to hook up a sec-

ond TV or monitor.

Just connect the second TV or monitor to

the MONITOR OUT Audio/Video jacks locat-

ed on the back of your TV. See the

Operating Manual of the second TV or

monitor for further details regarding that

device’s input settings.

Maintenance

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and

a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the

screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.

Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking

new.

If you intend to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord

to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to

disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.

Even though you may be getting cable service, the signal may be weak, which means the quality

of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV, consult the

Troubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable service provider to deter-

mine if the problem is from the cable service.

If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that have single,

fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.

If static images, like network identification patterns, are left on the screen for too long, they can leave a perma-

nent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of this happening by

limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and brightness levels.

SCREEN CLEANING

EXTENDED ABSENCE

CABINET CLEANING

WOOD CABINETS

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Please read pages 2-3-4 in the front of the manual and follow the recom-

mendations provided. Careful and regular cleaning of your new TV can enhance its appearance and your viewing

pleasure. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the plug before you begin any cleaning.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS

PICTURE INTERFERENCE

If you unplug your TV from a wall power outlet, you may have to reset the clock using the Time menu

described earlier.

Missing Secret code

Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

• Check your antenna connection or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Check to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected.

• Check your antenna direction and/or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Make sure the cable from your antenna to your TV is

properly connected.

The following may cause image problems or distortion:

Electrical appliances, powerful lights, cars, trucks; computers or

portable phones; medical equipment

• If possible increase the distance between your TV and the offending appliance.

Or shut one of them off.

•Check sound level.

•Make sure the TV sound is not muted.

•Try another channel. The problem may be the broadcast, not your TV.

•Are the Audio cables properly installed?

•Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers)

properly installed?

•Make sure your speakers are turned on in the Audio menu.

• If your audio mode is set to SAP, that channel may not have an SAP program.

•Are you in TV or cable tuning mode, and should be in the other?

•Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).

•Check that all connections are tight.

•Is the AC power cord plugged in?

•Check that your AC power outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something

else or try another outlet.)

•Make sure your brightness and audio controls are set properly.

•Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

•Check the color settings in the Video menu.

•Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

•The Caption option may be in Text mode. Select Caption 1, or OFF

in the Captions/Text menu.

•Your program is in letterbox. This means that the shape of your TV is a

square, but the program is a rectangle. Think of the bars as empty space the

program doesn’t fill; not picture that’s blocked out. Because this format is a

direct representation of film as you see it in the movies, you are actually seeing

MORE of the program when you see those bars.

•If you forget the secret code, press the remote control Button ‘7’, ‘7’, ‘7’ and ‘7’

when the display asks you to enter the secret code.

PAGE 55

Remote control doesn’t work.

Menu options can’t be

is selected.

Weak or no Stereo Sound

when using a stereo VCR.

The PIP inset is black or

lacks contrast.

The PIP inset is “snow” when

the source is Antenna.

Time is incorrect.

Troubleshooting (Contd.)

•Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly.

•Try unplugging your TV for a few minutes,

then plug it back in.

•Check to see if the source equipment has been turned on.

•Make sure that the connections are secure on the back of your TV and on the

source equipment.

•Check to see if all the connections are secure.

•Look in the Audio mode menu to see if all the settings are correct.

•You are using channel 3 or 4 to view your VCR. No stereo sound is present

under that decision.

•Check to be sure that the PIP source is turned on.

•You might want to adjust the PIP picture settings under the PIP menu.

•Check that all the wires are connected properly.

•Check to see if your input source for PIP is set correctly.

•Look to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected or change

the PIP to another source.

•Reset clock manually.

Glossary

A list of definitions for some of the words found in this guide as they relate to these TVs.

75 OHM RF CABLE The round cable that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service provider. Each end looks like a hex

shaped nut with a wire sticking through the middle, and it screws onto the threaded jack on the back

of your TV.

A/V CABLES Audio/Video cables. Three cables - Right audio (red), Left audio (white), and Video (yellow). A/V

cables are used for stereo playback of videocassettes and for higher quality picture and sound from

other A/V devices.

A/V DEVICE Any device that produces video or sound (VCR, DVD, cable box,satellite receiver, set-top box, or televi-

sion).

ADD (SHOW) This function lets you add new channels to the channel list in memory that you’ll scroll through when

using your remote.

AMPLIFIER An external device that amplifies sound from a television, CD player, VCR, DVD or other A/V device.

ANALOG TV Traditional method of representing a television signal as a replica (analog) of the original picture and

sound.

ANTENNA The physical receiver of television signals sent over the air. A large metal piece of equipment does not

always have to be visible for your home to be using an antenna.

ASPECT RATIO The ratio of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension of a picture. Standard television in the

U.S. today is generally transmitted and displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio. High-Definition television will

normally be formatted in the wider 16:9 aspect ratio.

AUDIO CENTER MODE IN Input jack provided for connecting external Dolby digital preamplifier output to the TV, to use as the

center speaker channel and enhance your home theater setup.

CAPTIONS A form of subtitling that writes out the dialog of a program on the screen.

COMPONENT INPUT ( YPbPr ) Series of input jacks provided for extremely accurate picture reproduction yielding a higher

quality picture than standard video inputs.

DELETE (HIDE) Removes channels that you don’t watch from the channel list in memory.

DIGITAL TV A new method of representing a television signal as a series of binary numbers ( 1's and 0's ). This

method allows for the signal to be manipulated to eliminate redundancy to dramatically increase pic-

ture and sound quality.

DOLBY DIGITAL Dolby Digital Cinema Sound is made possible by a new digital coding technique called Dolby AC-3.
