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.

Precision CRTs
Your HDTV Monitor features Precision CRTs. These Precision CRTs (cathode ray tubes) produce
sharp, high-resolution images, with great detail and better transition between images than
regular CRTs.

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 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 the main screen
and the 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 the other on the right.
Requirements: Press the PIP button to bring up the PIP window. Press again to bring up POP.
Chapter 3 has detailed instructions on how to use the PIP and POP features.
Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMP1 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 the Parental Control menu in the 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.

•

Parental controls must be locked for these settings to take affect.

Connections & Setup
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 and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

•

Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions on page 1.

Protect Components from Overheating
•

Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange 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 the top shelf so the 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, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV
instead of straight 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 TV 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 injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on
page 1.

Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.

Auto Convergence
Your TV’s picture tubes might have been disturbed during delivery or after you
moved the TV, causing the color in your TV to be out of alignment. The colors
adjust by starting auto convergence.
IMPORTANT: Auto convergence works best once the TV has warmed up
for at least an hour. If you've just unpacked your TV, it's a good idea to
repeat the Auto convergence function when the TV's been running for at
least an hour. See page 38 for more information about Auto convergence.

Press OK to begin auto convergence.

When the auto convergence is complete, the Red center convergence menu
appears. The cross in the middle of the screen should be yellow. If it is not,
use the arrow buttons to move the red cross to overlap the green cross.
Press OK when adjustments are complete.

The Blue center convergence menu appears with a cyan cross in the middle
of the screen. If it is not, use the arrow buttons to move the blue cross
to overlap the green cross. Press OK (the TV tunes to the last selected/
available channel in the channel list).

Note:
If you're using an HD source (such as an
HDTV tuner or HDTV satellite receiver) on the
CMPNT or DVI input, you should run Auto
convergence separately for that input as well.
Tune to the input you're using for the HD
source, then go to page 38 for information
on Auto convergence.

Using the Remote Control
Programming the Remote to Operate
Other Components

Indicator

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, the 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 the
following:

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.

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

Point the remote at the component.

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

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.

Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
•
•

automatic code search
direct entry

Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the 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.

Tip
To stop the automatic code search without
programming any components, press and hold
CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns
off.

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

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, then release both buttons.

Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5
seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If,
after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off,
press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Graphics contained within this publication are for representation only.

Chapter 2

Using the Remote Control
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light
on the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all codes for that
particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn
off, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the
device turns back ON.

To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
A code that controls your component has been saved to that remote button.

Using Direct Entry

Important
You must continue pressing the component
button while you enter the code.
Let’s say you have a Zenith DVD player. To
program the universal remote to operate the
DVD player, you would:
Press and hold the DVD button while you
enter the first code listed for Zenith in the
DVD Codes column.
Release the DVD button. Press ON•OFF to
see if the DVD player responds. If it doesn’t,
follow the same steps, but enter the second
code for Zenith DVD players instead of the
first.

Chapter 2

Turn on the component to be programmed.

Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list
in this section.

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

Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If
the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button
isn’t programmable.

Release the component button, point the remote at the component and
then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it
doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

•

If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for
your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

•

If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the
automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the
code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Component buttons
���
������

������
��

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV,
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 the remote into TV mode before you could
control the TV.
1.

Press the appropriate component button (DVD or AUX•HD) to set the
remote to control the component.

Press ON•OFF 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.

Press TV to place the remote in TV mode. Make sure the component you
want to view is turned ON.

Press INPUT to tune to an available input channel.

To return to the channel you were previously watching on TV, press CH+ or
CH- button.

Using the TV’s Features
Parental Controls and V-Chip
The choices in the US V-CHIP and Canada V-CHIP menus involve software inside your TV
(referred 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 instructions to turn on V-Chip, go to
page 31.
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 that the
program contains, you will receive the message This channel has not been approved for viewing.
Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate 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 block out programs
that have been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. The next
several pages have tables showing the TV age-based ratings and content themes for the US and
Canada.

US V-Chip TV Rating Limit
The V-Chip TV Rating Limit lets you decide which TV programs can and cannot
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.

Highlight and select US V-Chip. Then select V-Chip TV Rating.

3. Once you get to the V-Chip TV rating limit screen, use the arrow buttons
and OK on your remote to change the status of a TV program rating or
content theme from View to Block.
4.

For TV rating limits to take effect, lock Parental Controls by accessing the
Lock parental controls menu.

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
password entry screen. Then press the VOL+ and CH+ buttons on the TV's
front panel at the same time for at least 8 seconds. You will receive an
on-screen message that Parental Controls have been unlocked once you've
successfully reset the password.

Content Guidelines: May contain graphic language and explicit portrayals of nudity and/or sex.

14+

Viewers 14 and over. Programming contains themes or content which may not be suitable for viewers

and moderate; may include physical, fantasy, or supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines: May
contain infrequent mild profanity, or mildly suggestive language. Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.

effects of violent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some inoffensive slang, no profanity and no
nudity.

C8+

the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual
content.

scenes.

16 ans +

Viewers 16 and over. Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains
frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.

13 ans +

Viewers 13 and over. Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This

age of 13.

8 ans +

Viewers 8 and over. Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most
audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in
the company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who
do not distinguish between reality and imagination. Programming generally considered acceptable
for children 8 years and over to watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be
portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict or encourage children to
imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will
be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content
Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.
General Audience. This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or any
violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature,
or in an unrealistic way.

Using the TV’s Menu System
Video noise reduction Reduce picture “static” or any type of interference.
This feature is especially useful for providing a clearer picture in weak
analog signal conditions. Press the right arrow to choose between: Off for
no noise reduction; Minimum for a softer, smoother picture that retains
picture sharpness and detail; Medium for a slightly softer picture than the
Minimum setting; Maximum for an even softer, smoother picture than the
other settings (the picture detail is somewhat decreased).
Optimized still picture When enabled (box checked), enhances the picture
specifically for still frames (for example, if you're watching a slideshow on
your HDTV monitor, or if you've paused a frame of a DVD).
Auto Skin Tone When enabled (box checked), minimizes the flesh tone
variations of the TV picture.
Film mode (3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were
originally recorded on film (like most movies) and subsequently converted
to a different format (for TV broadcast, for example). Film mode processes
the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to the original.
Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.
Advanced (recommended) enables the feature only when the TV
detects that movie playback quality could be improved. Advanced is
the default setting.
The On setting should only be used in rare circumstances when the TV
is used solely with film-based sources (like DVDs on a non-progressivescan player).
The Off setting turns off film mode upconversion. Try using this
setting if you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing distortions in
your picture.
Note: Autoformat and Video noise reduction are available for CMP1 and
CMP2 inputs only if the signal is 480i.

Tip:
You can select a different picture preset
(or set up a different personal preset)
for each input. The ANTENNA/CABLE
jack counts as a single input.

Picture Presets Displays a choice list that lets you select one of the preset
picture settings: Vibrant, Cinematic, Natural, Sports, Videogame, Video Camera
or Personal. Choose the setting that is best for your viewing environment. You
can set a different picture preset for each input (including one for your regular
TV channels).
Black Level Adjusts the brightness of the picture.
Color Adjusts the richness of the color.
Contrast Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the
picture.
Sharpness Adjusts the crispness of the edges in the picture.
Note: You can adjust sharpness for each channel and input. This is useful if
the signal appears fuzzy.

Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you set one of three automatic
color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors; Normal; or
Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to
the NTSC standard of 6500 K.
Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.
When you change any of these picture settings, the Picture Preset changes to
Personal. Use the left or right arrow button to make adjustments. To return to
the Picture menu, press the up or down arrow button.
