HI, I'M ROGER.

I wrote this manual to help you get the most from

yourTV. I know you expect alot from your TV, so I

designed this user manual to give you the information

you need.., when you need it.

READ THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS

The manual is designed to get you started quickly...

and let you catch up on the details when you get a

chance.The first four sections of the manual will get

yourTV up and running.You'll learn how to use the

menu system, run the interactive setup routine and

program the remote.

The rest of the manual gives you the specifics: a tour

of the TV, aquick reference guide, details on the TV

GUIDE Plus+ system, advanced features and

appendices.

Well... if yourTV's out of the box, let's get started.

First things first.

1FIRST THINGS FIRST

STEP 1

Unpack the "IV. Make sureto locate the remote control and

Connections Foldout.

STEP 2: CONNECTING YOUR TV

If you're only going to connect the TV to your home antenna or cable

system, use the "TV Only" connection. If you're going to connect the

TV to a VCR, satellite receiver, DVD player or other component, look at

the Connections Foldout. The Connections Foldout details

recommended connection schemesfor hooking up the TV to a cable

box or antenna, one or two VCRs, alaserdisc player, and a satellite

receiver.

ONE RULE TO REMEMBER

You control and customize theTY by making changes to

various control panels in the menu system.The great

thing is,you only need to know one rule: point and select.

USING THE

MENU SYSTEM

THE MENU RULE: POINT AND SELECT

You only need to know one rule to use the on-screen menus and

control panels: point and select.

WHAT IS POINT AND SELECT?

The point and select method has two steps.

1. Point to a menu item usingthe MOVE arrows on the remote.

To point up or down, pressthe up or down arrows. To point left or

right, pressthe left or right arrows.

2. Select amenu item by pressingMENU.SELECT.

Selecting an item tells the TV's menu systemto go ahead and

make the change or go to a place you have indicated.

For example, to select the Channel menu from the Main menu:

1. PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Pojqt to Channel by pressing the down arrow until the word

Channel is highlighted.

Tip: You can also select a menu item by

entering the item number with the

number buttons on the remote. "

PressCLEAR at any time to remove all

displays from the screen and return to TV

viewing.

Many VCR user manuals refer to a

PROGRAM button. The MENUeSELECT

button on this remote works as a

PROGRAM button in VCR mode. The rest

of this manual refers to this button only as

MENU.

3. Press MENU to select Channel. The Channel menu comes up.

Point to Exit and press MENU to return to the Main menu.

Point to Exitand pressMENU to leave the menu systemand return

to TV viewing.

Once you know how to point and select your way through the menus,

you can apply this rule in the control panels, which do the real work

in the menu system.

€l

MENUS AND CONTROL PANELS

There are three parts to the menu system: menus, control panels, and

TV GUIDE Plus+ menus. But before you can use control panels or the

TV GUIDE Plus+ system, you first have to move through at least one

menu--the Main menu.

MENUS

The first menu is called the Main menu. To bring up the Main menu:

1. PressMENU on the remote or front panel:

Menus take you to another menu or a control panel. There are two

ways to make a choice in a menu:

• Point and select with the MOVE arrows and MENU.

• Pressa number button on the remote. For example, in the Main

menu press 3 to go straight to the Screen menu.

Exiting a menu

There are three ways to exit a menu:

• Point to Exitand press MENU.

• Press0 on the remote.

• Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the screen

and you are returned to TV viewing.

Feelfree to explore the menu system. If

you're ever unsure where you are in the

menu system, or you're just plain tired of

exploring, press CLEAR to remove the

menus from the screen and start over

again.

CONTROL PANELS

Control Panels do the work in the menu system: it's where you choose

a setting, enter a number, or adjust a level such as tint or brightness.

There are three kinds of control panels: sliders, choice lists, and

numeric entry.

Sliders

Slidersare used to make adjustmentsto a particular control.

For example, to adjust the TV's contrast:

1. PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Point to Picture Quality and press MENU. The Picture Quality

menu comes up.

3. PressMENU to select Basic Picture Controls.

4. Pressthe right or left arrow to adjust the indicator line. Notice that

the pictur_l, changes as you adjust the contrast.

Now that you know how the Contrast slider works, you know how all

sliders work.

You don't need to remember the names

of the control panel types. Once you've

learned how each type works, you'll be

able to use any part of the menu system.

CHOICE LISTS

Choice lists are used to choose a particular setting from a list of

settings. The current setting in a choice list is always the highlighted

item.

For example, to indicate whether you're currently using a home

antenna or a cable TV signals:

1. PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Point to Channeland press MENU. The Channel menu comes up.

3. Point to Signal Type and press MENU. The Signal Type choice list

comes up with the current setting highlighted. For example:

Point to the correct setting for your connection and press MENU.

As soon as you select a choice, the TV saves your change, and

you are returned to the previous menu.

Point to Exitand press MENU to return to the Main menu.

Point to Exitand press MENU to return to TV viewing.

NUMERIC ENTRY

Anumeric entry control panel is usedto enter numbers or letters.

For example, to set the current time:

1. PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Point to Time and press MENU.

3. Point to Set Time and press MENU. The Set "rime numeric entry

control panel comes up. Notice the pointer underneath the first

column.

Pressthe right arrow to move to the next column, then press the

up or down arrow to enter a number.

Repeat Step 5 until you have entered the hour and minute for the

current time. Notice that when you reach the last column,

pressing the up or down arrow changes whether the time reads

AM or PM.

7. When you have entered the correct time, press MENU. You are

returned to the _me menu.

8. Point to Exit and press MENU to return to the Main menu.

9. Point to Exit and press MENU to return to TV viewing.

If the control panel is not set at the

current time, use the left arrow to go back

over the columns and the up arrow to

make changes.

You can also enter numbers directly by

using the number buttons.

The TV GUIDE Plus+ systemis an interactive on-screen program guide

that listsTV schedulesfor your area, and allows your "IV direct control

screen. Such images include network logos, phone numbers, and video games. Extended viewing of channels displaying J

these images should be avoided.

General Cable Information

Antenna (or cable-TV) connections are made with either

coaxial antenna cable or twin-lead cable. Coaxial

cables are shielded so they are less susceptible to hum

or interference from adjacent cables.

Round 75-ohm coaxial cable

Push-on Connector

Screw-on Coaxial

Connector

Flat 300-ohm twin-lead cable

Most audio/video connections between components

can be made with shielded audio and video cables that

have RCA-type phono connectors.

The following accessories are available from most dealers

and electronics supply stores in case you want to position

your components farther apart or need additional cables.

Antenna Cables

jacks are red, and the left AUDIOJACKSare white. When

connecting components to each other, be sure that you

always conr_ct left outputs to left inputs and right

outputs to right inputs. If a component has only one

output (mono), connect it to the P,IMoNO INPUTjack.

To connect S-VHS (Super-VHS) components, an

S-VHS video cable is required.

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 isa

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 achallenging vision and guideline for conducting our business.

_1NOMSONCOI_IUMIll B

Below are a few examples of Thomson's achievements in our effortsto preserve our natural resources.

THE EARTH THE AIR THE WATER

Thomson reclaims millions of pounds of

hazardous waste annually, diverting it from

landfills,

Thomson treats millions of pounds of

waste water sludgeannually and renders it

non-hazardous.

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 globally recycles millions of

pounds of broken television picture tube

glassannually through both internal and

external reclaim processes.

Thomson has replaced solvent-based paints

at many locations resulting in an 80%

reduction in toxic air emissions for

equivelant material used.

Thomson haseliminated the use of ozone-

depleting substancesat television

manufacturing facilities around the world.

Thomson collects and returns over 1.5

million pounds of glassand furnace dust to

the glassmaking process annually,

Thomson haslaunched worldwide energy

savingsprograms which contribute to

effortsto reduce air emissionsfrom

electrical generating facilities.

Thomson recovers over 2 million pounds

of fine glass particles from processwater

each year and recyclesthem back into its

glass furnaces.

Thomson's state-of-the-art waste water

treatment plants filter out over 26 million

pounds of solidsfrom processwater each

year.

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 is researching new processesand

is developing new manufacturing

equipment and technologies to further

reduce large volume water use.

Thomson hasalso 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 ca=rtonsand

instruction booklets are soy based. For a free brochure regarding Thomson's Environmental Health and SafetyPrograms, write to Thomson
