simple. If you want all the benefits of the latest technology, without the

complexity, we have a very simple solution. It's called ProScan.

State-of-the-art technology that real people can use.

Thank you for choosing ProScan. And welcome to our company-wide

commitment to your complete satisfaction and viewing enjoyment.

This page folds open to display the menus. We

designed this page so that you could leave it open

and use it as a quick-reference guide while

reviewing the manual.

If you suspect that liquid has entered the TV, unplug it

imrnediately and have it inspected by an Authorized TV

Servicenter. Turning it off is not enough - your TV has

power applied to some circuits even when the TV is turned

off.

product.

Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline-operated

equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear

the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the

accessory itself and should not have been modified so as to

defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential

hazard from electric shock or fire. If in doubt, contact

qualified service personnel.

Your TV operates on 120 volts, 60 Hz AC power (normal

house power) and has a polarized AC plug. Because one

blade of the plug is wider than the other, the plug fits into the

wall socket only one way. Do not defeat the safety feature of

this plug. If you need an extension cord, make sure it is

polarized.

Caution: To prevent electric shock, do not use

the polarized plug on this TV with an extension

cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless both

blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade

exposure. Match wide blade of plug to wide slot,

fully insert.

All operating controls and their functions are identified and

explained in this manual. For warranty service or routine

maintenance, contact the nearest Authorized ProScan TV

Servicenter. All servicing and adjustments to electrical

components should be done by a qualified service technician.

expose this TV to rain or moisture.

Note to Cable TV Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention

to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (Section 54 of the Canadian

Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and,

in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the

grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as

practical.

The steps below will help you get your TV connected and

working quickly. The page numbers on which you can

find detailed instructions for each of these steps are also

listed for your convenience.

Unpack TV and accessories.

The accessories that came packed with your TV include

two remote controls, six AAA batteries, antenna adapter,

four wing nuts, and a VCR shelf.

Note: The VCR shelf allows

you to position a VCR or other

component on top of your TV.

Simply place the shelf on top of

your TV as shown above, and

then place the VCR on the shelf.

2 Extendback coven

Your projection TV has been specially designed with a

collapsible back cover. This design makes it easier for you

to move the TV through doorways because the collapsed

back makes the TV narrower. After the TV is positioned

in your home, you can easily extend the back cover to its

normal operating position by following the instructions

below.

1Remove the four wing nuts from the literature bag.

2Remove the two screws (labeled A) from the shipping

brackets. You will use these screws later in step 6.

Power Interruption Protection Feature

In the first few months of operation, it is normal for your TV

to occasionally shut down and immediately turn itself on

again. The picture tubes in this TV (as in all TV's) operate at

a very high voltage and at times may arc internally. Your TV

will recognize what is happening and will automatically shut

down. This protects the TV's memory from locking up or, in

some cases, being erased. After a shut down occurs, .the

following message will briefly appear on the screen.

Note: This message will also be displayed briefly if power is interrupted

due to a loss of power to the TV, such as in an electrical storm or a

brown-out situation.

(Optional)ConvergeyourTV.

Your projection TV has three color projection tubes-one for

red, one for green, and one for blue. When mixed together in

the proper proportion, the output of these three color tubes

can produce many colors. To produce these colors, the

beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the

colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture

beams is called "convergence".

Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of

alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the

'1"_/.If you move your TV or notice colored tings or halos

around objects in the picture, you may want to converge

(align) the colors.

To simplify convergence, an on-screen menu is provided that

allows you to display a test pattern of lines on the screen.

Properly converged, the lines appear white-which is actually

a combination of the output of the three color tubes. The

position of the green lines is stationary. The positions of the

red and blue lines are adjustable. When properly adjusted,

the red and blue lines should lie directly over the green lines

to produce single white lines.

ToConverge (Align) the Colors.

1Turn on the TV and select a channel that is active in your

area. Allow the TV to operate at least ten minutes before

converging.

11 Review menusandotherfeatures.

When you feel comfortable with your TV and remote

controls, review the menus. Most of the menus are

shown inside the front cover. You can fold this pa.ge out

for quick reference while reading the manual.

The Help function on the MASNMENUoffers a variety of

help screens to assist you in the connection and

operation of your TV. Details .are on page 13.

The rest of this manual can be used as a reference guide

with detailed information about each operating control,

menu, and function. There is an alphabetical index in

the back for your convenience.

Inside of the back cover is a quick-reference operating

guide. This page is designed so it can be removed from

the manual.

OperatingRemoteControls

Before attempting to operate either one of the remote

controls, install the batteries as shown below.

Installing/Replacing Batteries

1Turn each remote control face down.

2Press down on the ridged area of each battery cover and slide

it off.

Usingthe RemoteControls

Aim either remote control at your TV's remote control

sensor (located behind the TV screen). The remote

controls produce an invisible (infrared) beam that travels

in a straight line much as the beam of a flashlight. For this

reason, when operating either one of the remote controls,

you must point it directly at the front of the TV without

objects between that can block the infrared light beam.

3Install the "AAA" batteries in each compartment as shown.

4Replace the covers and turn remotes over (face up).

Notes: Replace the batteries when the TV fails to respond to the remote

control.

If you programmed your master remote to control other components, you

may have to reprogram the code numbers when you change batteries.

Try not to press any buttons while changing batteries.

Never place anything heavy on top of the remote control or lay it upside-

down. This may accidentally depress the buttons for a long time and

discharge the batteries.

Do not mix new and used batteries or different brands of batteries.

If battery leakage occurs, wipe up the liquid inside the compartment and

replace the batteries with new ones.

The EQUALIZERfunction lets you display an on-screen

graphic equalizer so you can remotely adjust audio

bandwidths for different environments or individual tastes.

Adjusting the graphic equalizer is primarily a matter of

personal taste. The adjustments allow certain

characteristics of the audio to be changed without affecting

others. For example, if someone enjoys sharp, clean horns

(brass), increasing the 4.5 kHz control can bring them out.

The equalizer also gives control of the mid-range

frequencies that bass and treble controls do not affect.

Since vocal frequencies are in these mid ranges, tone

controls have little effect on them. The center bands not

only give control of vocals, but allow selective vocal

ranges to be controlled. For example, reducing the 400 Hz

and 1 kHz bands can soften a strident male vocalist, and

increasing the 2 kHz and 4.5 kHz controls can bring a

subtle female voice forward. Adjusting the 1 kHz and 2

kHz bands can add intelligibility to a speaker or singer

under certain circumstances.

The equalizer can also be used to compensate for either

deficiencies or excesses in the way the system reproduces

the audio in your room. Most common problems are

"dull" or "live" rooms that have too little or too much

treble, and rooms of certain sizes that have standing waves

that boom. Experimentation can help find the nearest band

to correct such problems. A room with a sofa and many

drapes, for example, might benefit from increasing the

4.5 kHz and 10 kHz bands. Live rooms with wood floors

and few furnishings commonly boom or resonate in the

upper bass range. Adjusting the 150 Hz band could control

that without taking away good, deep bass that a

conventional bass control would reduce.

60 Hz...Gives these low, "real" bass sounds more or less impact.

This area is where many systems and/or programs are weak.

Increasing this control can overcome such deficiencies, lowering

it can reduce "muddiness".

150 Hz...Affects the loudness of bass. These mid-bass

frequencies sound the loudest, and most systems reproduce them

well. Increasing the control gives the bass more "punch",

lowering it can help reduce "booming".

400 Hz...Affects the fullness of some instruments and lower

vocals. Since this is the basic frequency range of music,

increasing this control adds fullness to these sounds, reducing it

makes them sound thinner.

I kItz,..Strongly affects the "forwardness" and "presence" of

vocals and most instruments. Increasing this control can help

project these sounds or make a vocalist easier to understand.

Reducing it can soften strident music.

2 kHz...Strongly affects the harmonics (overtones) of voices and

some instruments. This frequency is most easily heard by the

ear. Increasing this control will project most instruments and

vocals. Reducing it helps control brilliance and allows more

subtle sounds in the other ranges to be heard.

4.5 kHz...Affects harmonics (overtones) of voices and some

instruments, particularly brass and strings. Increasing this control

makes these instruments and vocals sharper and brighter.

Reducing it can help control excessively "lispy" vocals or shrill

instruments.

l0 kHz...Affects the highest, most delicate harmonics of some

instruments such as strings and the overall content of others such

as cymbals and drum snares. Increasing this control brings out

this "crispness" in cymbals and "sweetness" in strings and gives

the music "atmosphere". Reducing it can help control noise and

hiss.

Your TV includes an expanded stereo feature which adds

greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. Your

TV electronically increases the stereo image from the

speakers so you perceive an "expanded" more spacious

stereo sound effect. Stereo expansion enhances the

ambience of music and program material. Dramatic

effects of spatial enhancement can be experienced with

music. Talk shows with background crowd noise also

benefit from expansion by engulfing the listener in a

wider sound field than would be experienced without

expanded stereo. The effect will vary with program

material.

The perception of a greater stereo image is created by

cancelling the cross-coupled sound from the right speaker

that arrives at the left ear (and the left speaker that arrives

at the right ear). Like stereo headphones, stereo

expansion isolates the left and right signals that arrive at

the ears. As a result, the speakers seem to be farther

away from the TV.

Although you can easily turn the expanded stereo feature

on and off as desired, you may prefer to leave it turned

on. That way your TV will automatically process and

expand the stereo signals whenever a stereo broadcast is

received (or whenever a stereo tape or laser disc is played

through a stereo VCR or disc player connected to the

The VCR/cablesetupfunction lets you program to which

channel the TV will automatically tune when you press the

VCR1,VCR2,or CABLEbutton on the remote. This is handy if

you connect a VCR, LaserDisc player, or cable box to your

TV. You will no longer have to remember to which input

jacks the VCR, LaserDisc, or cable box is connected

because the TV will remember for you.

For example, if you connect a VCR's AUDIO/VIDEOOUTjacks

to the TV's iNPUT1jacks (as shown on page 66), you will

no longer have to remember to select channel 91 on the TV

to see what the VCR is playing. If channel 91 appears next

to the VCR1 function on the VCRiCable SETUPmenu, the TV

will automatically turn on and tune to channel 91 each time

you press the VCR1button on the master remote control.

This function is especially convenient if you have a

compatible VCR that can be operated by the VCR1button on

the remote. Pressing VCR1will then not only tum on the

VCR, but also automatically turn on and tune the TV to the

proper channel for viewing the picture from the VCR. You

can program most brands of remote-controllable VCR's to

respond to the VCR1button as described on pages 54-55.

The VCR2 function works the same way. It lets you

program to which channel the TV will automatically tune

when you press the VCR2button on the master remote.

Pressing the VCR2button will then not only turn on the

VCR, but also automatically tune the TV to the proper

channel for viewing the picture from the VCR. You can

program most brands of remote-controllable VCR's to

respond to the VCR2button as described on pages 54-55.

The Cablefunction lets you program to which channel the

TV will automatically tune when you press the CABLEbutton

on the master remote. This is handy if you have to connect

a cable box to your TV. You will no longer have to

remember the output channel of the cable box because the

TV will remember for you.

For example, if you connect a cable box to the TV's

CABLE/ANTENNAconnector (as shown on pages 62-63), you

will no longer have to remember to select channel 3 or 4 on

the TV to see what is coming from the cable box. By

entering the cable box's output channel (usually 03 or 04)

next to the CABLEfunction, the TV will automatically tune

to that channel each time you press the CABLEbutton on the

remote.

This function is especially convenient if you have a

remote-controllable cable box that can be operated by the

CABLEbutton on the remote as described on page 64.

Pressing the CABLEbutton will then not only switch the

remote to cable mode but will also automatically tune the

TV to the proper channel for viewing the picture from the

cable box.

Programming Remote To Control Other Brands of VCR's

Refer to the chart at the right to find the code number that

corresponds to the brand name of your VCR. Keep this

number in mind. If more than one number is listed, you

may need to try each one separately until you find the one

that works.

1Press VCR1or VCR2button on remote (depending on which

button you want to program for that VCR). You can

program each button to control a different VCR.

2Press ID button on remote.

3 Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to

enter the code number for your brand of VCR. You must

press the two number buttons within three seconds of

pressing to.

4Point the remote at the VCR, and press the OFF/ONbutton to

test the code number. If the right number was entered, the

VCR should turn on. If the VCR does not react to the

remote, repeat steps 1 thru 4 with another code number.

Note: Some older VCR's do not have an OFF/ONswitch on their

remote controls and cannot be turned on and off remotely. If you

have this type of VCR, you can test the code number by pressing the

CHANNELbutton instead of the OFF/ONbutton. Make sure the VCR is

already turned on when you test the code number.

Operating Notes: After the remote is programmed, it will turn on the

VCR whenever you press VCR1(or vca2) and then OFF/ON.

You'll be able to control the VCR whenever the remote is in the "VCR

mode". To put the remote in the "VCR mode", press the VCR1or

VCR2button (depending on which button you programmed). The other

VCR buttons (such as PLAY,PAUSE,STOP,REWIND,FF,and RECORD) will

control the VCR when the remote is in the "VCR mode".

To change channels on the VCR, press VCR1(or VCR2), then CHANNELup

or down. To turn off the VCR, press VCR1(or VCR2),then OFF/ON.

This remote will control the basic functions of compatible VCR's. It will

not be able to control the advanced functions of all brands of VCR's.

You may have to reprogram your remote if you change its batteries.

Notes About Controlling Two VCR's

This remote can control two VCR's independently as long as each VCR

operates on a different remote transmitting code.

If neither of your VCR's have switchable code capabilities, you still may

be able to use the VCR1NCR2feature to control two VCR's of the same

brand since many older VCR's use remote codes that are different than

newer VCR's. You may want to experiment to see what works with

your particular VCR's.

CompatibleComponents

A wide variety of compatible VCR's, camcorders, and

LaserDisc players are available. Check with your dealer

for details.

Other brands of components can also be connected to your

TV. Refer to the component owner's manual for the

manufacturer's recommended hookup instructions.

PositioningComponentsonShelvesin a Rack orStand

If you are connecting several components and plan to use a

stand or component rack, follow these general rules when

arranging your components.

If the components are arranged horizontally, allow at least

an inch or two of space between them so air can circulate

freely. This will also provide some space between the

devices to minimize interference.

If components are arranged vertically on shelves, place the

stereo amplifier at the top so that heated air rising from it

will not pass around the other components.

Do not block the ventilation holes in the components.

If components are placed on rugs or deep-pile mats, the

ventilation holes in the bottoms may be blocked and

overheating could result.

Turn OffPower Before ConnectingCOmponents

Always turn off power to all components before you

connect or disconnect any cables. This will protect your

components from possible electrical surges that could

damage your equipment.

This is a good practice for all your audio and video

components - TV's, VCR's, audio systems, computers, etc.

PositionSpeakersto AvoidInterference

Placing external speakers with unshielded magnets too

close to the TV may result in the speaker magnets affecting

the quality of the picture. Such speakers should be located

at least eight inches away.

If unshielded speakers are too close to the TV,

misconvergence may happen (colors along sides may

shift). If this happens move the speakers farther away

from the TV. If this does not correct the problem, you may

need to converge the TV as described on page 5.

Plugging in Power Cords

Do not plug your TV's power cord into another

component's outlet (switched or unswitched). Your TV

should only be plugged into a wall outlet or suitable power

strip outlet.

Do not plug any power cord into a wall outlet until you are

finished making connections.

Many components have "convenience outlets" on their

back panels so you can plug power cords from other

components into a "convenience outlet" instead of a wall

outlet. Usually these outlets will be labeled either

"switched" or "unswitched".

If the outlet is labeled "switched", that means power to the

outlet will be switched off when the component's power

button is switched off.

If the outlet is labeled "unswitched", that means power will

always be available at that outlet, even when the

component is turned off.

Depending on the size of your system, you may prefer to

use an extension cord or a "multiple adapter" to get enough

outlets for all your components.

The power cords on your ProScan components are

"polarized" (one blade is wider than the other). Be sure

the extension cord or multiple adapter is also polarized.

The plug should fit in the outlet only one way.

Position Cables to Avoid Hum

The possibility of picking up hum (interference noise) in

the audio/video cables will be reduced if you keep them

away from the back of the TV. Route the cables to the

sides of the TV's back panel instead of straight down the

middle.

All cable plugs should be firmly seated in the jacks where

they connect to the equipment. If a plug is not connected

firmly, audio hum or smeared video may result.

If your antenna cable is flat twin-lead cable, try to keep it

away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.

Excess flat, twin-lead cable should be cut off instead of

coiled behind the TV. Round, coaxial, antenna cable is

usually shielded and can be coiled or placed next to

audio/video cables without causing interference.

Scrambled C.able-TV Channels

Some cable-TV decoders require that you manually switch from regular to scrambled channels on the decoder

whenever you wish to view the premium pay channels. By connecting the decoder to the ANTAinput and CONVERrEa

output on your TV and leaving the decoder box set to the scrambled channel, you can switch between the scrambled

and unscrambled channels by using the TV's remote control.

Simply press the ANT (antenna) button on the remote control to

switch between the scrambled and unscrambled channels.

Unscrambled cable channels will come through the ANTainput.

Antenna B will appear in the channel number display whenever

you are tuned to the input from ANT8.

The scrambled channel from the decoder box will come through

the ANTA input. Be sure to leave the decoder box set to the

scrambled channel, and remember to tune your TV to the output

channel of the converter box (usually 2, 3, or 4).

Converter/Decoder Box

Remember to tune the

VCR to the output channel

of the converter box

(usually 2, 3, or 4).

Beck of VCR

When viewing the VCR picture through the

ANT Binput as shown above, remember to

tune the TV to the output channel of the

VCR (usually 3 or 4)-the same channel as

the position of the VCR's ¢H3/CH4 switch.

Most cable companies that require use of a converter/decoder

box only require the box for scrambled premium channels

like HBO or Showtime. All the other cable-TV channels can

usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore, by

using a signal splitter, you can send the incoming cable-TV

signals directly to the TV and also through the

converter/decoder box and VCR as shown above.

You can easily switch between the signals coming into the

ANTA connector and the ANTBconnector by pressing the ANT

(antenna) button on the master remote control. Antenna B

will appear in the channel number display when you are

seeing the signal from the ANTe input.

The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be

seen whenever the TV is receiving the ANTa signals. The

cable-TV channels that are scrambled can then be seen

through the converter box and then through the VCR

whenever the TV is receiving the ANTBsignals. Most VCR's

will feed the signal through their antenna jacks even when

the VCR is turned off. This allows you to watch scrambled

channels from the converter box without having to turn on

the VCR.

This connection can be useful because it will let you record a

scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are

watching an unscrambled channel through the ANTa

connector on the TV.

Note: You can also connect the VCR's AUDIOand VIDEOOUTjacks to

the TV's AUDIOand VIDEOINjacks as shown on page 66. The

audio/video connections are necessary for stereo playback from the

VCR. To see the signals from the VCR that are going into the TV's

INrtrr jacks, select TV channel 91 if you connected the VCR to the

INPUT 1jacks or select channel 92 if you connected the VCR to the

INPUT2jacks.

(Optional S-VHS VCR's) To take advantage of the S-VHS (Super

Video) format, also connect the VCR's S-VHS OUT connector to the

TV's S-VIDEOINPUT 1 or 2 connector (the same one to which you

connected the normal audio and video). When you select channel 91 or

92, the TV will automatically select S-VHS video if it is available.

* Optional accessory available from your dealer or electronics

supply store. Mail order form is on page 75.

If your cable box has its own remote to change channels,

you will probably be able to program the TV's remote to

control both the TV and the cable box.

The TV's remote is designed to control several brands of

cable boxes. To program the remote, just press CABLE,then

to test the code number.

•If the right number was entered, the cable box should turn

on. Pressing the CHANNELbuttons should then also change

channels on the cable box.

•If the cable box does not react to the remote (or if the remote

turns on the cable box but does not change channels), repeat

steps 1 through 5 with another code number.

Operating Notes: After the remote control is programmed, it will

turn on the cable box whenever you press CAaLEand then OFF/ON.

To turn off the cable box, press CABLE,then OFF/ON.

To change channels on the cable box, press CABLEthen CHANNEL

up or down.

After you program the remote control, you can use the VCR/cable

Setup function on the SETUP menu to automatically turn on the cable

box and tune the TV to the correct channel for the cable box when

you press the CABLEbutton. Details are on page 43.

Your new TV is designed to receive up to 181 channels in

the U.S.A. including 125 unscrambled cable channels (see

chart at right). To use this TV with a cable-TV system,

confirm that the cable-TV system is properly connected to

your TV. Since cable systems vary, you may wish to

consult your local cable-TV company for additional

information.

If your cable-TV company follows EIA/NCTA channel-

identification standards, most of the channels offered by

your cable company will be identified by channel numbers

that are identical to those on your TV. For example, if your

cable-TV system has programs on cable channel 20, you

can choose this channel by selecting channel 20 on

your TV.

If your cable company offers cable channels 90, 91, or 92

you can tune them by selecting the TV channels shown

below.

ScrambledCable-TV Channels

Some cable companies offer scrambled "premium-pay"

channels. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing

requires the use of a descrambler device (cable box) which

is generally provided by the cable company.

How you connect the cable box to your TV depends upon

whether or not the cable box can be controlled by remote

control. The TV's remote can also control most brands of

cable boxes, so if your cable box is remote controllable,

you will want to connect it as shown in Diagram B on

page 62. Instructions for programming the TV's remote to

control the cable box are on page 64.

If your cable box can not be controlled by remote control,

you will still be able to remotely switch between a

scrambled channel and unscrambled channels with the

connection shown in Diagram C on page 62 or in

Diagram D on page 63.

91 127"

92 128"

* To tune cable channels 100 through 128, press and hold number button

"1" until "1--" appears on the screen, then enter the other two numbers.

Some cable-TV companies do not follow the EIA/NCTA

standards and instead assign their own channel

identification. For example, some use the standard

broadcast channel numbers (2-13) for channels 2-13, but

identify their other channels with letters. If your cable

company does not follow the EIA/NCTA standards, ask

them for a cross reference that shows to which channels

you should tune your TV to receive their cable-TV

channels.

Not all cable-TV channels will be active on your particular

cable-TV system. Also some cable companies may require

the use of a decoder with their cable-TV system. Consult

your cable company or local dealer for details.

The chart below lists the "total" broadcast (off-air) and cable

channel count.

*Low VHF A-8 (Channel 01) - 1

•VHF (Channels 2-13)** 12"* 12"*

• UHF (Channels 14-69) 56 -

• Low Midband A-5 thru A-1 (Channels 95-99) .... 5"**

• Midband (Channels 14-22 or A-I) - 9

• Superband (Channels 23-36 or J-W) - 14

• Hyperband (Channels 37-64 or W+ 1 to W+28) - 28

• Ultraband (Channels 65-94 and 1100-125 or - 56

W+29 to W+84)

Total ** 68 125

** VHF is only counted once in total channel count because you can

receive channels 2-13 on both "off-air" and "cable" channels.

Therefore the total channel count for "off-air" and "cable" is 181

channels (68+ 125-12= 181 ).

*** Channels 95, 96, and 97 are not applicable in Canada. Therefore

the total number of channels lbr Canada is 178 (68+122-12=178).

These connections allow you to record TV programs and play back tapes.

Shown here is the preferred method of connecting a VCR to

your TV if you are in an area with good signal reception.

This method uses a 2-way signal splitter to run separate

signals to the VCR and TV. This way you can view either TV

programs or VCR tapes and not be concerned about the

position of the VCR's rv/vcR switch. If your cable company

requires a decoder box for premium channels, refer to

page 63.

Note: The audio/video connections from the VCR to the TV are

required for you to watch tapes being played by the VCR.

Optional S-VHS (Super VHS): If your VCR has an S-VIDEO

or S-VHSOUTconnector, connect it to the S-VIBEOiNPUT1

connector on the TV in addition to the other three audio and

video cables. An optional S-VHS cable is required. S-VHS

can not be viewed on the small PIP (Picture-In-Picture)

TV and another set of surround speakers to an amplifier that is

connected to the TV's AUDIO OUTPUTSSURROUNDjack.

Operation: Select prologic, prologic phantom, matrix

surround, hall surround, or stadium surround audio as

described on pages 32-36. Adjust the volume of the

surround-sound audio to the mid-range by using the Rear

volumefunction on the AUDIOADJUSTSETUPmenu for the

audio mode you have selected. Adjust the amplifier so

that the surround audio is at a normal listening level.

Center SoundAudio

Connecting an amplifier to the AUDIOOUTPUTSCENTER

jack gives you the ability to get more center-sound

audio volume than the TV will allow.

With the connection shown here, you will be able to

adjust the volume of the center sound audio by using the

Centervolumefunction on the AUDIO ADJUST SETUP menus

for Dolby 3 stereo or prologic audio modes as described

on pages 31-33.

Connection: Connect the AUDIOOUTPUTS CENTERjack to

the input jack labeled MONO(such as AUX,TUNER,CO,or

TAPE MONITOR)on the stereo amplifier. Do not use the

PHONOjack. If your amplifier does not have a MONOjack,

yOU may need a Y-adapter (available from most

electronics supply stores) to hear sound from both

channels. Consult the amplifier owner's manual for the

manufacturer's recommended hookup.

Operation: Select Dolby 3 stereo or prologic audio as

•described on pages 31-33.

Adjust the volume of the center sound audio to the mid-

range by using the Centervolumefunction on the AUDIO

ADJUSTSETUPmenu for the audio mode you have

selected. Adjust the amplifier so that the center audio is

at a normal listening level.

• Optional accessories are available from most dealers and electronics

supply stores. Mail order form is on page 75.

You can connect up to four additional speakers to the back

of your TV-two to the EXTERNALspeakers terminals and two

more to the SURROUNDspeakers terminals. If you connect a

stereo amplifier or receiver to your TV, you may prefer to

connect the speakers to the amplifier or receiver instead of

the speaker terminals on the TV.

Vvqaenyou connect speakers to the EXTERNALspeakers

terminals, be sure to turn on the speakers using the

Speakers: int/ext/off or the Ext spkrs: on/off function in the

AUDIOADJUSTSETUPmenu for the audio mode you have

selected. When you select Speakers: ext in the AUDIOADJUST

SETUPmenu, the internal speakers are turned off and sound

will then come through the external speakers you

connected to the EXTERNALspeakers terminals.

"[bobtain surround-sound effects from the prologic,

phantom prologic, matrix surround, hall surround, or

stadium surround audio modes, connect two speakers to

the SURROUNDSpeakers terminals on the back of the TV and

position them at the rear of your viewing area, elevated to

standing head level. You may wish to connect a stereo

amplifier or receiver to the AUDIOOUTPUTSSURROUNDjack to

get a volume level of surround sound audio that is higher

than the SURROUNOspeakers terminals will allow.

When you connect speakers to the SURROUNDspeakers

terminals, be sure to turn on the speakers using the Rear

spkr:on/offfunction in the AUD)OADJUST SETUP menu for the

audio mode you have selected. When you select Rearspkr:

on, the surround sound will then come through the external

speakers you connected to the EXTERNALspeakers terminals.

If you want to connect an amplifier to your TV with its

,own set of speakers attached to it, you can turn off the

TV's speakers using the Speakers:int/ext/offor the Intspkrs:

on/off function (depending on which menu you are looking

at) in the AUD=OADJUSTSETUPmenu for the audio mode you

have selected. Setting the Speakers:int/ext/offor the Ext

spkrs:on/off function to off will turn off the TV's internal

speakers and any speakers connected to the EXTERNAL

speakers terminals. Speakers connected to the SURROUND

speakers terminals will remain on, so you will be able to

create surround-sound effects when using the amplifier.

ConnectingSpeakersto Back of Amplifier or Receiver

If you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, connect

the speakers to the amplifier/receiver instead of the TV.

Sound from the TV will then come through the

amplifier/receiver. You can also connect additional

surround speakers to the back of the TV, if desired.

The diagram below shows how to connect external

speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of a typical

amplifier/receiver. Check the owner's manual for your

amplifier/receiver if its speaker terminals look different

than those shown below.

Notes: After connecting the speaker wire, pull it gently and check that it

is connected securely to its terminals.

Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or contact other

wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other, damage to

components could result.

1st Set of Speakers

Connect to A Terminals

Receiver

(Optional)

2nd Set of Speakers

Connect to B Terminals

Important Note: When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you

connect the (+) terminal on the amplifier or receiver to the (+) terminal

on the speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a

white stripe to help you connect (+) to (+) and (-) to (-). If the (+) and

(-) terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be "in

phase" causing reduction in low frequencies (bass).

Caution: Do not connect external speakers to more

than one audio source at a time. You can

connect a set of speakers to either the TV or

the amplifier but not to both at the same

time. If you connect the same speakers to

both the TV and the amplifier (or to more

than one set of terminals), you will

probably damage your equipment.

ConnectingSpeakersto Back ofTV

If you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, connect

the speakers to the amplifier/receiver instead of the TV.

You can also connect additional surround speakers to the

back of the TV, if desired.

If you do not connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV,

you can connect external speakers to the back of the TV to

enhance sound from the TV.

The diagram at the right shows how to connect external

speakers to the terminals on the back of the TV.

If necessary, remove the

vinyl covering from the

ends of the speaker wire

and twist the wire core.

Press and hold down the

lever of the speaker _

terminal while inserting the _ll

wire core into the hole. Be

sure to connect (+) to (+)

and (-) to (-) (explained in

the important note in the

next column).

3Release the lever.

Notes: After releasing the lever, pull gently on the wire and check that it

is connected securely to its terminal.

Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or contact other

wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other, damage to

components could result.
