Acombination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-

nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is

easy because there is only one 75Ω(ohm) antenna plug on

the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

1If yourantenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,

then you're ready to connect it to the TV.

If yourantenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you

first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a

300- to 75-ohm adapter.

2Push the round endof the adapter (or antenna) onto the

75Ω(ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of

the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

3Plug the television in to the wall outletand turn the TV

on.

Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on

page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the

Items Included with This TV

As you unpack your TV, please note that this Directions

for Use manual contains safety-tip information and

Factory Service Center locations, as well as a Warranty

Registration Card, remote control, and batteries for use

with the remote control.

Please take a few minutes to complete your registration

card. The serial number for the TV is on the rear of the set.

Refer to the back of this manual for instructions in the

cleaning and care of the TV.

FEATURES

Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incom-

ing signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature

monitors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise

reduction control.

Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs,

DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound

playback.

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at

an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program

changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more

consistent, comfortable sound.

AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and

maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power

failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain chan-

nels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your

children to view inappropriate materials.

Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available

channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only

active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color,

tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as

sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the

push of one button.

AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set con-

trols and a personal control that you set according to your own

preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three facto-

ry-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor

the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you

are watching.

Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list

stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit

or expand the number of channels that are available to you when

you press the Channel (+) or (–) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dia-

logue or voice conversations as onscreen text.

Dynamic Contrast helps to sharpen the picture quality by

improving the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of

the picture.

Eye Fidelity (also know as Digital Options) give a choice of

two different scanning technics – Progressive Scan or Interlaced.

Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible lines per field by

displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating any picture

flicker. The Interlaced mode provides a double vertical display

scan, which reduces annoying motion sweeps. The Interlaced

mode will also smooth out the jagged lines sometimes seen on

the edges of curved or angled surfaces.

Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-

controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable convert-

ers, and satellite receivers.

Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for

setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or

Spanish).

Your new television and its packing contain materials that

can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recy-

cle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials

and minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed.

Your product also uses batteries that should not be thrown

away when depleted, but should be handed in and disposed of

as small chemical waste.

When you replace your existing equipment, please find out

about the local regulations regarding disposal of your old tel-

evision, batteries, and packing materials.

END-OF-LIFE DISPOSAL

Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount

of time that you choose.

Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) chan-

nel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.

Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-

speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broad-

cast in stereo sound.

Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the chan-

nels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have

programmed into the TV’s Surf control through the onscreen

menu).

Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF

once or daily like an alarm clock.

A75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals

from an antenna or a cable TV company

to the antenna jack on the back of the TV.

Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

Atwo-way signal splitter enables you to

take a single antenna or cable TV signal

and supply it to two different inputs.

A300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter

accepts the antenna cables (called twin-

lead wires) from an antenna, allowing you

to connect the antenna signal to the TV.

An S-Video cable provides better picture

performance than regular (composite)

video connections.

S-Video cables can be used only with S-

Video-compatible accessory devices. You

must also connect the left and right audio

cables to the AV 2 Audio in jacks because

the S-Video jack carries only the picture

signal, not the sound.

Video and audio cables with standard

RCA (phono) connectors connect the

video and audio jacks of accessory

devices such as VCRs and DVD players

to the jacks on the TV.

These connectors are usually color coded.

The jacks on your TV are also color

coded to match the colors of the connec-

tors. Yellow for video (composite) and

Red and White for the right and left audio

channels. The video cables used to con-

nect component video or RGB (high-reso-

lution) jacks are color coded red, green,

and blue.

An VGA (HD15) cable makes a VGA

(RGB) connection to the HD INPUT-AV

4 jack on the rear of the TV.

The AutoLock™ feature receives and

processes data sent by broadcasters or

other program providers that contain pro-

gram content advisories. When programmed

by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can

respond to the content advisories and block

program content that may be found objection-

able (such as offensive language, violence,

sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature

to censor the type of programming children

may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how

to block channels and programming that is

not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You

will also find out how to turn these blocking

features ON or OFF. Following are brief

explanations of some terms and ratings relat-

ed to the AutoLock™ feature.

AutoLock™ offers various Blocking

Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is

what can be thought of as the “master switch”

for AutoLock™. This control affects the set-

tings you have chosen for blocking programs

according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or

for blocking programs that have no rating or

are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is

OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is

disabled. When the BLOCKING control is

ON, blocking will occur according to the set-

tings you have chosen.

NO RATING: ALL programming with no

content advisory data can be blocked if NO

RATING is set to ON.

Programming that has No Rating is not

encoded with any rating information from the

MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any pro-

gramming could fall into this category.

You also can block individual channels or

block programming based on ratings of the

MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a descrip-

tion of the ratings on this page.)

Your remote control is capable of working

your TV and many other devices that

respond to infrared remote control commands,

such as VCRs, cable boxes, satellite systems,

and DBS. Your remote may be already, as is, to

work an accessory device, or you may need to

use one of the methods (“Code Entry” or

“Search”) explained on pages 47 and 48.

First, try this simple test to see if your TV

remote control will give you direct access to

the accessory device’s functions, or if you will

need to try another method in order to set up

your TV remote control for that capability.

1Place the TV/VCR/ACC mode

switch in the proper position.

2Point the remote control at the remote

sensor window of the accessory device

and press the POWER button.

3Does the remote control turn the device

ON?

If YES, stop and try other function buttons on

the remote. If they also work the device, then

the remote is ready and no further steps are

needed.

If NO, go to the next page to try the Code-

Entry method.

window of the device. Then press the

POWER button on the remote to turn

the unit ON.

NOTE: If the process just explained doesn’t

work the first time, repeat the same Accessory

Device code number.

does not operate your accessory device, see if

other three-digit Accessory Device Code

Numbers are shown for your device on the

list pages 49-50 and repeat the steps above

using a new number.

If after repeated attempts this method does

not work for you, go to the next page and fol-

SOUND buttons simultaneously and

hold them down. The device will begin

to change channels after the remote

identifies the correct code.

4When the channels start to change,

release the REC(ord)/SAP and

NOTE: Don’t let the device scan up more

than five channels. If you do, the remote con-

trol may pass up the correct code, and another

two-minute search cycle will have to be done.

minutes, repeat steps 1–4. Should a channel

change still not occur, the remote will not

work the desired device.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV

Screen:

Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen

for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven

picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures

that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the

screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for

extended periods of time, or to display the same images on

screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left

on the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be DVD

disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digital

television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite

channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary

images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter

others in your viewing):

•DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content

•Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the

TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a

TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.

•Video-game images and scoreboards

•Television station logos—present a problem if they are

bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are

less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube

•Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV

screen

•Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright

and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on

the TV screen.

PLACEMENT OF THE TV

•To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and

increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where

temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in

direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

•Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated

back cover of the set.

CLEANING

•To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged

from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

•Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to

keep the TV clean.

•When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the

screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything

abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front

screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even,

easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

•Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge

dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap

or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

•Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back

cover of the set.

•Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on

or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring

of the cabinet finish.

No Power

•Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds,

then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER

button again.

•Check that the outlet is not on a wall switch.

•Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is

being used.

No Picture

•Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the

TV's ANT 75Ωplug?

•Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner set-

ting.

•Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available

channels.

•Press the AV button on the remote to make sure the correct

signal source is selected (FRONT or Current Channel).

No Sound

•Check the VOLUME buttons.

•Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

•If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check

the audio jack connections located on the front of the TV.

Remote Does Not Work

•Check the batteries. If necessary, replace them with AA

Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries.

Remote Does Not Work Continued

•Clean the remote control and the remote control sensor win-

dow on the TV.

•Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds,

then reinsert the plug into the outlet and push the POWER

button again.

•Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is

being used.

•Check to be sure the TV outlet is not on a wall switch.

TV Displays Wrong Channel or No Channels Above 13

•Repeat channel selection.

•Add the desired channel numbers (using the CHANNEL

EDIT control) into the TV’s memory.

•Check to be sure the TUNER MODES are set to the CABLE

option and run the Auto Program feature to find all available

channels.

TV Displays white lines in letterbox when viewing a

DVD disc

•Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more

video information to give the best possible picture quality.

With the DVD Player in the 16:9 picture format, the play-

back of this type of disc with extra video information, can

produce a number of small white lines in the upper portion

of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this sit-

uation is unavoidable and it does not require a service call.

available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and

stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

Channel Edit • The feature that allows you to add or delete

channels from the list of channels stored in the TV’s memory.

Closed Captioning • The broadcast standard feature that allows

you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV

screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed

Captioning shows dialogue and conversations while a TV pro-

gram is in progress.

metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) direct-

ly onto a 75-ohm input found on the television or VCR.

Component Video Inputs •Inputs that allow the separate recep-

tion of blue, red, and luminance signals. These inputs provide

the highest possible color and picture resolution in the playback

of digital signal-source material, such as the kind available from

DVD players.

Composite Video Input • An input in which all the components

required for displaying the onscreen image are combined in one

signal.

High-definition Television (HDTV) • High-resolution digital

television.

adjust or set.

ed by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature

translation for the displayed programming).

Status/Exit Button • The remote control function that allows

you to quickly confirm what channel number you are watching.

Status/Exit can also be used to clear the television of onscreen

displays or information. You can use Status/Exit rather than hav-

ing to wait for the displays to “time out,” or automatically disap-

pear from the screen.

S-Video Input • Signal input that allows direct connection of

high-resolution video sources, such as a satellite receiver, DVD

player, S (Super)-VHS videocassette recorder, or video games.

Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.
