Introduction

Key Features Overview

Your TV/DVD is equipped wi|h features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following information

summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 4 provides more intk_rmation about the rest of the TV/DVD's features and how

to use them.

Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System

The Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System incorporates two of RCA's most 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/1)VD (off-air, DVD, satellite, and/or cable).

TruScan Digital Reality

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

vide() signals and progressively converts lhem to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It enhances tlle 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 _an conventional CRTs

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

CR'Es, providing accurate coloi=s and razor sharp focus on evely part of the screen.

DVI-HDTV Input

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

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

some electronic program guide navigation and olher 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 eilher progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidlh of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.

SRS TruSurround XT TM and SRS Dialog Clarity TM

TmSurround XT solves the problem of playing multichannel content over two speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual

surround sound experience through any internal television speakei=s. Dialog Clarity, a feature of TruSurround XT, makes

dialog from the source material clearer.

MP3 Audio Disc Playback

Description: Your DVD player can play" compatible MP3 audio files recorded on CD-R discs.

Requirements= The discs must be recorded on compatible equipment (Chapter 3 has derails) and the DVD player must be on.

The On-Screen DVD Information Display

Description: The Into Display is an on-screen banner that provides access to certain l)atures while you're playing a disc'.

Icons represent the different R.'atums supported by your TV/DVD when in DVD mode. By selecting different lnfo Display

icons, you can access features including Repeat, Audio, Subtitles and Camera Angle.

Requirements: Put your TV/1)VD in DVD mode and insert a disc into the disc tray. Once the disc starts playing, press

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any" of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off the TV/DVD and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the hnportant Safety

Instructions on page 1.

Protect Components from Overheating

• I)on't block ventilation holes on any of the components. An'ange the components so that air

can circulate freely.

• Don't stack components.

• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on file top shelf so file heated air from it

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/DVD, route all cables down the side of the back of the

TV/DVD instead of straight down the middle of the TV/DVD.

• 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 TV/DVD carefully. Place the TV/DVD on a stand or base that is of

adequate size and strenglh to prevent the TV/DVD from being accidentally tipped over, pushed

off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV/DVD. Refer to the

Important Safety Instructions on page 1.

Use Indirect Light

I)on't place the TV/DVD where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use

soft or indirect lighting.

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

IMPORTANT" Don't program the DVD button on this remote to control a

different (external) DVD player unless you don't plan to use this remote

with your internal DVD playe_ If you program the DVD button to control

an external DVD player, then the remote won't control the internal DVD

playe_

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether _e unive_al remote needs to be programmed to operate

one of the components connecled to your TV, such as a VCR, do the following:

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

2. Point the remote at the component.

3. Press the corresponding co_:qponent bulton (in this example, the VCR

button).

4. Press ON*OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn't respond, you

need to program the re_:qote to operate it.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to prograi:q the remote control:

* direct en| W

* automatic code search

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.)

2. Look up the brand and code nm:qber(s) for the co_:qponent on the code list

in this section.

3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote con_ol code list starting on page 22.

If the component button flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or

differently for other components, especially

when you're using another component's menu

system.

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several di_rent components

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

component buttons. For exmnple, if you want the remote to operate the TV,

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

could control the TV.

3.

Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT/CAB,

AUX/HD, AUDIO) to set the remote to conlrol the component.

Press ONoOFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

Use the remote buttons that apply to that component. The component

button on your remote lights up when you press valid buttons while in that

component's inode.

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 VCR, press VCRon the remote control to put the remote

Using the Remote Control

The Learning Feature

Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV's remote control is programmed to control other components you have

connected to tim TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that component mode.

After you program file TV's remote con_ol to operate file other component, the TV's remote provides most of the

operations you need. HoweveE there may be some t\mctions on the component's original remote control that your TV's

remote control doesn't have. For example, your DVD remote control might have a ZOOM button lhat enables you to

enlarge Ihe picture, but your TV/1)VD remote doesn't have |hat button. The learning feature enables you to record the

tZmctionality of a specific button from the original remote control to one of the TV's remote control buttons.

Note: All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different component to that mode.

Up to 2 inches apart

\

Adding a Learned Function

There are several things to consider betbre you begin the learning process:

• You can't record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV's remote control: component buttons (TV, VCR,

DVD, AUX/HD, and AUDIO), the CLEAR button, and llle LIGHT button.

• Before adding a Learned Function, you must program this TV's remote conlrol to operate lllat component because

programming the remote control erases all learned commands for flint component mode.

• Do the learning process in low light areas because too much natural light or fluorescent light might cause the learning

feature to fail because llle remote control functions are recorded (learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals.

• The TV's remote and the original remote should be no more than 2 inches apart.

• In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the olher, you must make sure llle Infrared (IR) transmitter of

the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV's remote (see illustration). To accomplish this, you may

have to hold a remote in each hand instead of laying both on the table.

• The learned buttons are mode specific--if you add a button function l¥om your DVD player's remote conlrol, you must

press the DVD button first belbre llle learned function will work (in TV mode, the button where you've stored llle learned

function will continue to work as it always has).

1. Press and hold the component button on the TV's remote that applies to the function you will be adding (DVD, VCR,

SAT/CAB, AUDIO, or AUX/HD). The component button lights.

2. On llle TV/DVD remote, press and hold the RECOI_) button.

3. Keep pressing t)oI11of llle buttons 0he component button and the RECOI_) button) until the component button light

turns off', flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.

4. On llle TV's remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new function (the component

button turns olT and titan back on).

Note: If you press an invalid button on the TVIDVDremote, one of the component button flashes 4 times to alert you.

You'll have to repeat step 4.

20 Graphics contained within this publication are fi)r representation on/y. Chapter 2

Using the Romote Control

5. With tile remote consols lacing each olher and no morn lhan 2 inches apart, press and hold the buuon of the

component's remote control that has the functionality you are recording to the TV's remote control. Keep pressing

lhe button until lhe TV/I)VD mmote's component bullon light turns olT and back on (the function has been saved to

lhe TV/1)VD mmolc). If all component buttons flash four times, then the function wasn't learned. You can try again

starting with step 4.

6. The TV/DVD remote control remains in "learning mode" so you can continue adding functions to different buttons

by repeating steps 4 and 5. Or; press CLEAR to exit learning mode.

Notes: If you want a new function on a button, you must record (learn) over it.

The amount of memory each learned function uses in the TV's remote control varies. If your TVIDVD remote is out of

memory, the component button(s) light flashes 4 times and turn off, exiting you from the Learning mode.

Clearing a Learned Function

To delete a learned button function, use the procedure below.

1. Press and hold the component button 0he component button lights). Then press and hold lhe CLEAR bullon for 3

seconds. Continue depressing bolh buttons (the component mode button flashes---turns on and off again).

Release lhe component and CLEAR buttons (flm component button being programmed turns on). Remote is now in

Clear learned function mode.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Press and release the bullon where learning is to be cleared. The component buuon blinks off then back on--the

learned function was cleared successfully.

Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all buttons' learned functions have been cleared.

Note: If an invalid button is pressed, the component mode button(s) flashes 4 times and the selected component

button stays on and remote remains in Clear Learned Function mode. Repeat step 3.

Press the CLEAR button and your TV/1)VD remote returns to its original operation mode.

Deleting ALL Learned Functions

This procedure erases all learned functions in every component mode of the remote.

1. Press and hold the CLEAR breton (the current component bullon lights). Then press and hold the ON* OFF button

(component button light turns ofl" lbr 3 seconds, flashes, turns on and ofl+)while continuing to hold CLEAR.

2. Release bolh buttons (current component breton turns on).

3. Press any component bullon to delete all learned functions in all modes. Remote is automatically exited from this mode.

Note: Pressing the CLEARbutton will NOT delete all learned functions, but will exit the Delete mode.

Volume Punchthrough

You may find this feature helpful if you've connected your components to an audio/video receiver (A/V receiver) or

amplifier; but you want to use the TV's remote control to operate the volume for a component that is connected to the

audio/video receiver. An example lbllows.

Let's say you've connected your DVD player to your audio/video receiven You've also programmed your TV/1)VD remote

control to operalc your DVD player. Since the DVD player gets its volmne lhrough lhe audio/video receiver, you would have

to bounce back and lbrth between two remote consols: the a/v receiver's remote to adjust the volmne and the TV's remote

control to operalc lhe DVD player.

The Volmne Punchthrough Feature eliminates the need for you to use two remolc controls and saves a breton press when

you're using the TV/DVD mmolc to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV/1)VD remote to mlrieve and send

volmne commands from the A/V receiver whenever the TV/DVD remote is operating the DVD player (in DVD mode).

Using the Features

Note:

This section describes the Parental Control

feature associated with TV broadcasts (cable,

satellite and/or off-air). The Parental Control

feature used with DVD discs is explained on

page 39 (the Lock menu).

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The choices in the UN V-CHIP and Canada V-CHIP menus involve software

inside your TV (rel)ixed to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs

on V-Chip, go to page 35.

Note: Parental Control settings are not available for DVI, CMP1,or CMP2

inputs.

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 the rating

and/or content themes lhat the program contains, you will receive tlle message

7his channel has not been approved fi)r viewing. Cha_zge channel orpress OK to

enterpassword and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content dmmes, so programs received

with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based

rating. You can also block out programs flint have been given an Exempt rating,

and programs that am considered unmted. The next several pages have tables

showing the "IV age-based ratings and content dmmes for the US and Canada.
