Introduction

Key Features Overview

Your TV is equipped with features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following information summarizes a

few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the rest of the TV's features and how to use them.

Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System

The Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System incorporates two of RCA's rrlost advanced technologies: "lYuScan Digital Reality and

the AVRPicture Projection System. The result is the ultimate in true-to-life picture performance that provides the optimum

picture resolution from each digital source connected to your TV (terrestrial, DVD, satellite, and/or cable).

TruScan Digital Reality

Picture performance starts with signal processing. TruScan Digital Reality intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming

video signals and progressively converts lhem to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It enhances die picture

quality and makes you feel as if you're close to the real thing. It also recognizes when original fihn sources have been

modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail - a process

commonly ret_:rred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.

AVR Picture Projection System

The Accurate Visual Reality high definition picture proiection sys_m o_rs a brighter picture _en conventional CRTs

(cathode ray tubes). These tubes creates brilliant, lifelike fidelity. The AVR 4 lens system is designed to complement the

CR'IIs providing accurate color,s and razor sharp focus everywhere on the screen.

DVI-HDTV Input

Lets you connect a component with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. DVI provides an uncompressed, digital video

interlace developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by

some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth

Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV connection is designed to

display either progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.

PIP (Picture-In-Picture) and POP (Picture-Outside-Picture)

Description: PIP lets you watch two channels at one time - one channel on tile main screen and tile other in a smaller

window. POP also lets you watch two channels at one time - one channel on the left side of the screen (the main picture)

and file other on the right.

Requirements: Press file PIP button to bring up tile PIP window. Press again to bring up POP. Chapter 3 has detailed

instructions on how to use the t I1 and PO1 features.

Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMPI or CMP2).

V-Chip: Parental Controls (for the U.S. and Canada)

Description: You can block programs and movies by content, age-based ratings, and/or movie ratings.

Requirements:

• Set up file Parental Control menu in file TV's main menu (Chapter 3 has details).

• The broadcasters must use the rating system when they send the program to your TV in order for your TV to block the

program.

• Parenval controls must be locked for these settings to take affect.

won't flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV

instead of slraight down the middle of the TV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin

lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your "IV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate size

and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This

could cause personal iniury and/or damage the TV. Ret_:r to the Important Safety lnslructions on

page 1.

Programming the Remote to Operate

Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote

controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most

RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

Also, tile AUX*HD button can be programmed to operate most brands of an

additional remote-controllable component (such as a VCR, DVD player, satellite

receiver or cable box).

Note: The TV button can't be programmed on this remote.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate

one of the components connected to your TV, such as a DVD player, do file

following:

1. Turn on the component (in this example, a DVD player).

2. Point the remote at the component.

3. Press file corresponding component button (in this example, the DVD

button).

4. Press ON*OFF to see if the DVD player responds. If the DVD player

doesn't respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.

You'll use these buttons when

you program the remote.

Important: The remote may not

be compatible with all models of

all brands of components. It also

may not operate all functions of

the remote that came with your

component.

To stop the automatic code search without

programming any components, press and hold

CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns

off.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program tile remote control:

* automatic code search

Using Automatic Code Search

The t_llowing instructions can be used to program tile remote to operate each

of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without

programming any" of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the

remote turns off.

Note: The AUX*HD button on this remote is set by default to search

for codes for DVD players only. If you want to program it for use with a

different component, use the direct entry method.

1. Turn on tile component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (DVD or

AUX*HD). While holding the component button, press and hold ON*OFF

until the indicator on the remote turns on, _hen release both buttons.

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the

component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the TV, you

would press the TV button to put dm remote into TV mode before you could

control the TV.

Press the appropriate component button (DVD or AUXoHD) to set the

remote to control lhe component.

Press ONoOFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes:

The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of

components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that

came with your component.

If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is

probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button

that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to

operate the DVD player, press DVD on the remote control to put the

remote in DVD mode.)

Using the INPUT Button

Use the INPUT button to scroll through the available input channels and view

components you have connected to the TV.

1. Press TV to place the remote in TV mode. Make sure the component you

want to view is turned ON.

2. Press INPUT to tune to an available input channel.

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The ciloices in the US V-CHIP and Canada V-CHIP menus involve software inside your TV

(retk:rred to as 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.

Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.

By default, the software inside your TV is turned "off." For inslructions to turn on V-Chip, go to

page 31.

How V-Chip Works for USA and Canada

V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence

(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked lhe rating and/or content themes that the

program contains, you will receive the message 2his channel has not been approved,for viewing.

Change channel orpress OK to enterpassword and temporaril 3deactivale the Parental Control.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content

themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also Mock out programs

that have been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. The next

several pages have tables showing the "IV age-based ratings and content themes for the US and

Canada.

US V-Chip TV Rating Limit

be viewed.

To set TV programming limits:

1. Choose Parental Control from the MAIN MENU. If Parental Controls have

previously been locked, you must enter your password.

2. Highlight and select US V-Chip. Then select V-Chip TVRati_zg.

3. Once you get to lhe V-Chip 217 rating limit screen, use the arrow buttons

and OK on your remote to change lhe status of a TV program rating or

content theme from Vlew to Block.

4. For TV rating limits to take effect, lock Parental Controls by accessing the

The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of

TV program limits.

Note: If you forget your password, follow step one above to get to the
