The Living Room Main Menu contains eight items that you can select:
six menus and two buttons. Let's take a look at the buttons first.

9

The Exit Button
All menus have an Exit button. Selecting the Exit button always takes
you to the previous screen. Selecting the Exit button from the Main
Menu returns you to regular TV viewing. For example,
1. Press MENU to bring up the Living Room Main Menu. Point to Exit.

2. Press MENU. The Living Room disappears.

10

The Help Button
All menus have a Help button. For example, selecting the Help button
from the Main Menu brings up all of the help balloons for the
Living Room.
1. Press MENU to bring up the Living Room Main Menu.
2. Point to the Help button and press MENU. The help
balloons appear.

3. Press MENU again. The help balloons disappear.
The rest of the Help buttons in the menu system bring up helpful
information explaining one aspect of that menu.

11

THE

MENUS

There are six menus available from the Living Room Main Menu.
When you point to different items in the Living Room, a different
menu highlights. Press MENU on the remote to select the
highlighted menu.

To exit a menu
There are two ways to exit a menu:
•

Point to Exitand press MENU.

•

Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays clear from the screen and you
return to TV viewing.

CONTROLS
Controls do the work in the menu system. Using the controls, you can
choose a setting, enter a number, or adjust a level such as tint or
brightness. There are three kinds of controls: sliders, toggles, and
path buttons.

Sliders
Use sliders to adjust a particular setting in a menu.
For example, to adjust the TV's tint:
1. Press MENU to bring up the Living Room Main Menu.
2. Point to the Picture Quality Menu and press MENU. (The Picture
Quality menu is the TV's front panel, just below the TV screen.) The
Picture Quality Menu appears.
3. Point to Tint.
4. Point left or right to adjust the indicator line. Notice that the picture
changes as you adjust the tint.
5. Press CLEAR to remove the display from the screen.
Now that you know how the Tint slider works, you know how all
sliders work.

12

Tint

Toggles
Use toggles to choose a particular setting from several
available settings.
For example, to indicate which antenna you are using:
1. Press MENU to bring up the Living Room Main Menu.
2. Point to Channel (the remote control on the table) and press
MENU. The Channel Menu appears.
3. Point to Signal Source. The Signal Source toggle highlights. The
current setting for Signal Source appears at the bottom of
the toggle.
4. Point left or right to indicate the correct setting for
your connection.
5. Press CLEAR to return to TV viewing.
Now that you know how the Signal Source toggle works, you know
how all toggles work.

Path Buttons
A path button is a control that takes you to part of the menu system.
You can recognize a path button by its distinctive arrow-shape. The
Lists and Labels control in the Channel Menu, above, is a path button.

You don't need to remember

the

names of the types of controls. Once
you've learned how each type works,
you'll be able to use any part of the
menu system.

13

CONTROL

PANELS

Control panels can contain different types of controls, such as numeric
entry, sliders, and checkboxes, that let you adjust the TV. A slider in a
control panel works just like a slider in a menu. Numeric entry and
checkboxes are described below.

Numeric

Entry

A control panel with a numeric entry control allows you to enter
numbers and letters.
For example, to set the current time:
1. Press MENU to bring up the Living Room Main Menu.

CARE

AND

CLEANING

You can clean the TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting
attachment for your vacuum cleaner. Be sure to occasionally vacuum the
ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

To clean the TV screen, use a diluted soap and water mixture and a soft
cloth. Do not use furniture polish on the "IV cabinet or screen.
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.

CREATING

A GREENER

FUTURE

At Thomson Consumer Electronics we are dedicated to the preservation of our
natural heritage and to a healthy and safe way of life for current and future
generations. This is a global effort which encompasses every THOMSON facility
throughout
the world.
We believe that clean air, clean water, a protected earth, and healthy people are not
only practical and desirable goals, but achievable ones as well. Our Corporate
Environmental,
Health and Safety Charter acknowledges our commitment
to protect
these precious assets and provides a challenging vision and guideline for conducting
our business.

fo_ THOMSON CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

Below are a few examples of Thomson's achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural

resources.

TH E EARTH

THE

Thomson reclaims millions of pounds of
hazardous waste annually, diverting it
from landfills.

Thomson has replaced solvent-based
paints at many locations resulting in an
80% reduction in toxic air emissions for
equivelant material used.

Thomson recovers over 2 million
pounds of fine glass particles from
process water each year and recycles
them back into its glass furnaces.

Thomson recycles over 50 million
pounds of non-hazardous material
annually that otherwise would have
been treated as trash, an overall
recovery rate of 50%.

Thomson has eliminated the use of
ozone-depleting
substances at television
manufacturing
facilities around the
world.

Thomson°s state-of-the-art waste water
treatment
plants filter out over 26
million pounds of solids from process
water each year.

Thomson collects and returns over 1.5
million pounds of glass and furnace dust
to the glass making process annually.

Thomson globally recycles millions of
pounds of broken television picture
tube glass annually through both
internal and external reclaim processes.

Thomson has launched worldwide
energy savings programs which contribute to efforts to reduce air emissions
from electrical generating facilities.

Thomson's U.S. glass factory recycles
2,500 gallons of water per minute and
cleans 2.6 million gallons of water
per day.

Thomson treats millions of pounds of
waste water sludge annually and
renders it non-hazardous.

AIR

TH E WATE R

Thomson is researching new processes
and is developing new manufacturing
equipment and technologies to further
reduce large volume water use.

Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example, in the U.S. and Mexico
our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks used for the print on
cartons and instruction booklets are soy based. For a free brochure regarding Thomson's Environmental
Health and Safety
Programs, write to T_homson Consumer Electronics' address below, attention Environmental
