Sample
Connections
The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter
when connecting components to your TV. Note: those components
which offer an S-Video connection, such as DVD, VCR or satellite
receivers, must match their S-Video connection with their audio INPUT
connection.
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum

• Insert all cables firmly
into jacks.
• Place the audio/video
cables to the
sides of the TV's back panel instead of
straight down the middle.

Cautions:
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and
keep them away from the audio/video
cables.
Protect Your Components
Overheating
From

the components. Arrange the
components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when

• Place an amplifier on the top shelf of
the stand so heated air rising from it

IR Control
ler
The IR (Infrared) Controller enables the GUIDE Plus+ system to control
your VCR and cable box (if necessary) so you can tune to television
channels and even start recording a program from the GUIDE Plus+
system.
After you have affixed the ends of the controller to the necessary
components (VCR, or Cable box), you will use the on-screen interactive
setup routine for the GUIDE Plus+ system to test the connected
components.
Attaching
the
IR Control
The IR Controller is used to send commands
to your VCR and/or cable box.
ler
Some components label the infrared remote sensor, and others do not. If
your component is labeled, affix the IR controller directly over the
sensor. If the IR location is not labeled on your component, you need to
use to use the component's remote control to locate the sensor.
1.
Hold the component's remote control (not the remote that came
with your TV) so that it is touching the front of the component.
2.
Slowly move the remote over the front of the component while
pressing the remote power button on and off. (Be sure to press and
release the power button each time you move the remote. Holding
the button may not work.)

You may want to use a piece of clear
plastic tape to temporarily
affix the

the interactive setup. That way you can
easily move it if you have not placed it

green, and one for blue. When the tubes
are precisely aligned, they create the color
images you see on the TV screen. Over

V-Chip
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children
cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.
The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve a chip inside your
TV (called V-Chip) which allows you to "block" TV programs and movies based
on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. In
other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain programs.
Once you block programs, you or other adults are not limited to only parentapproved programs; you can "unblock"
programs by entering a password.
The V-Chip inside your TV comes turned

"off,"
so if you choose not to
When turned "on," the V-chip reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip
the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If
you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, "This
channel is not approved for viewing," when you turn to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required to
provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their agebased rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated," and programs that are
considered "unrated"
because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.

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

Thomson reclaims millions of pounds
of hazardous waste annually, diverting
it from landfills.
Thomson treats millions of pounds of
waste water sludge annually 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 glass annually through both
internal and external reclaim processes.

to preserve our natural
Ai r
Thomson has replaced solvent-based
paints at many locations resulting in an
80% reduction in toxic air emissions for
equivalent material used.
Thomson has eliminated the use of
ozone-depleting
substances at television
manufacturing
facilities around the
world.
Thomson collects and returns over 1.5
million pounds of glass and furnace dust
to the glass making process annually.
Thomson has launched worldwide
energy savings programs which
contribute to efforts to reduce air

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

plants filter out over 26
million pounds of solids from process

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 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 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
