Connections and Setup
Obtain the Signal
The first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive
analog and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT.
Before you connect your TV, you have to determine whether you will be using an antenna or a cable service
to obtain the signal.
What You Need
Antenna (Rabbit Ears) or Outdoor Antenna with Coaxial Cable
Plug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the
TV. You are ready to receive off-air local digital and analog channels.
Cable Service
Plug the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV. You are
ready to receive your cable channels.
Set-Top Box
If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable company or satellite service provider. They may
recommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.
What You Need to Know
• Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the local
digital channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digital
stations available using your antenna.
• When you watch TV, the Channel Banner displays the type of channel currently viewed. A “D” at the bottom
of the screen denotes digital channels and an “A” denotes analog channels. For more information on
Channel Banners, see page 28.

Connecting a Component with HDMI (Best)
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology is an uncompressed digital connection that carries
both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on
Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with components that have a
DVI output jack.
Example: Set-top box with HDMI jack:
1. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 jack on the back (or the HDMI INPUT 2/HDMI INPUT 3
jacks on the back or HDMI INPUT 4 on the side panel of the TV) and to the HDMI output jack on the back
of the set-top box.
Example: Set-top box with DVI jack
To connect an HDMI cable and an HDMI/DVI adapter:
1. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 jack on the back of the TV.
2. Attach an HDMI/DVI adapter to the end of the HDMI cable; then connect the adapter to the DVI output
jack on the set-top box.
3. Since you’re using an HDMI/DVI adapter, you need to connect separate audio cables to the DVI AUDIO
INPUT right and left jacks on the back of the TV and to the right and left audio jacks on the back of the
set-top box.

What To Expect
Watching TV
Analog Channels
An “A” at the bottom of the screen denotes that you are watching an analog channel. Analog video is sent in a
4/3 format. Your TV can display these channels in a 16/9 format by pressing the FORMAT buttons to view
the different formats available. Go to page 33 for more explanation of screen formats.
Digital Channels
A “D” at the bottom of the screen denotes that you are watching a digital channel. Most digital video is sent in a
16/9 format, which fills the screen. However, it is sometimes sent in 4/3 format, which does not fill your
screen. The format is dependent on how the station or source component is configuring the video.
Note: If there are bars on-screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format. This may eliminate the bars.
Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. Go to page 33 for more
explanation of screen formats.
Changing Channels
• Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and sub-channels. To
tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, such as 10.1, enter the primary channel number (10), then
press the right arrow button. Enter the sub-channel number (1) and press OK.
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you may notice that the channels
change more slowly than usual. This is perfectly normal. Digital channels sometimes take longer to tune.

Programming the Remote
The CANCEL button is used as visual feedback during the programming operation. During programming,
the CANCEL button illuminates when buttons are pressed and turns off when buttons are released. When
programming is finished, the CANCEL button blinks slowly to indicate success and blinks rapidly to indicate
failure.
Note: All component buttons are inoperable during Programming Mode.
There are three ways to program the remote control to operate other components: Direct Entry, Manual
Code Search, and Automatic Code Search. You must try Direct Entry for at least one code before trying the
other methods.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component you want to control.
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3
seconds) until the CANCEL button illuminates. Release the buttons.
3. Press and release the component button.
4. Enter the appropriate four-digit code for the component you want to operate. The first digit indicates the
component type (0 for DVD, 1 for Satellite TV, 2 for Cable, 3 for DVR, 4 for VCR, 5 for Audio, 6 for CD);
the other three digits indicate the brand and model. Look up the brand and codes for the component in
the list at the end of this section. Codes are listed by component type and are arranged alphabetically.
5. The CANCEL button blinks slowly to indicate success. Repeat these steps until you’ve tested all codes
for your component’s brand, or try to run a Manual Code Search.
Using a Manual Code Search
Note: Before using Manual Code Search, use Direct Entry. This lets the remote know which type of component
you are programming. Then proceed with the following steps:
1. Turn on the component you want to control.
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3
seconds) until the CANCEL button illuminates. Release the buttons.
3. Press and release the component button.
4. Repeatedly press and release the left or right arrow, watching for the component to respond. If the
component turns off, press and release the OK button to save the code. The CANCEL button blinks
slowly to indicate success.
5. When all codes have been searched, the CANCEL button blinks rapidly to indicate failure, and the remote
returns to normal operation.
Note: Use the right arrow to search ahead; use the left arrow to search back. Press the ON•OFF button to switch
to Automatic Code Search Mode.
Using Automatic Code Search
1. Turn on the component you want to control.
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3
seconds) until the CANCEL button illuminates. Release the buttons.
3. Press and release the component button.
4. Press and release the ON•OFF button once. The remote starts the code search.
5. Once the component turns off, quickly press the OK button to save the code. The CANCEL button blinks
slowly to indicate success.

Chapter 2
Using the Remote Control
6. When all codes have been searched, the CANCEL button blinks rapidly to indicate failure, and the remote
returns to normal operation.
Note: If you accidentally passed the code before saving it, use the left arrow to backtrack through the codes. Use
the right arrow to go forward through the codes again. Once the left or right arrow has been pressed, the search
mode changes to Manual Code Search.
Using the Remote
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, it is ready to operate your components.
To operate the component:
1. Press the component button (SAT/AUX or DVD) to set the remote to control the component. For
example, press DVD to control your DVD player.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Modes of Operation
The button that corresponds to the mode the remote is in illuminates when you press any button that
applies to the component. For example, if you’re in TV Mode and you press the VOL+ button, the TV button
lights up. This tells you that the command to increase the volume is being sent to the TV.
Note: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of components.
Manual Reset
The Manual Reset is used to reset the remote settings to default.
Note: The reset can also be accomplished by replacing the batteries; however replacing the batteries does not
always cause a reset. You can perform a manual reset by following these steps:
1. On your remote control, simultaneously press the V-Chip, ON•OFF and MUTE buttons.
2. The CANCEL button will blink slowly to indicate success, and the remote control returns to normal
operation.

5 Other Information
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the quickest way to view High Definition (HD) video?
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANTENNA/CABLE Input to view free local digital channels. You may need
to purchase an antenna. (See page 9 for more information).
Visit www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local digital
channels available to you. By entering your location, this mapping program tells you which local analog and
digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
Are there other ways to view High Definition (HD) video?
Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive
digital video. Contact your cable company or satellite provider to purchase digital programming
and have them connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels the best way.
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
Press the INFO button to display the Channel Banner. Look at the bottom left corner of the screen. An “A” is
displayed for an analog channel. A “D” is displayed for a digital channel.
Why are there bars on my screen, and can I get rid of them?
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which fills your screen, but is sometimes sent in 4/3 which does
not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video. If
there are bars on the screen, press the FORMAT button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars.
Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes
as you press the FORMAT button and the format type is displayed at the top left of the screen. For more
information on screen formats, go to page 33.
Why does channel search find a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them,
there’s nothing there?
Some channels enabled by the cable company don’t carry programming, such as video ondemand. When
channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or appears like snow. You probably want to remove these
channels from your channel list. Remove these in the Channel List Menu. Go to page 37 for more information.
Why does the first channel search take a long time?
If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the channel list. If
you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled channels,
and each sub-channel of that digital channel.

• Make sure the TV is plugged in.
• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in another device.
• The side panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the side panel
controls. Select the Block Buttons feature on the Parental Control menu and press OK to uncheck the
box.
There is no picture and no sound but the TV is on.
• You may be tuned to an input with no component connected to it. If you're trying to view a connected
component, press INPUT until the picture from that component appears.
• The Signal Type option may be set incorrectly. Go to page 16 for detailed instructions.
• The channel may be blank. Try changing channels.
• If you’re watching your VCR and it’s connected with coaxial cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE jack, tune the
TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your VCR). Also
make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).
The sound is fine, but the picture is poor quality.
• If you're getting a black and white picture from a component you've connected to your TV, you might
have your video cables connected to the wrong jacks. A yellow video cable connects to the yellow VIDEO
INPUT jack on the side or back of your TV; three video cables or bundled component video cables (red,
blue, and green) connect to the corresponding COMPONENT INPUT jacks on the back of your TV.
• Check the antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.
• Try adjusting the sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 35 for more instructions.
There is no sound, but the picture is fine.
• The sound might be muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.
• If using DVI, S-Video, or Y, PB, PR, remember to also connect the device’s left and right audio output
jacks to the TV’s L and R AUDIO INPUT jacks.
• The sound settings may not be set correctly. Go to page 34 for more information.
• The internal speakers might be turned off. Go to page 35 for more information.
• If your audio source has only one jack or is a (mono) audio source, make sure you have plugged the
connection into the L AUDIO INPUT jack on the TV.

You are having problems with the HDMI Connection.
• Make sure the HDMI or DVI component is turned on and the cables are firmly connected. If problems still
occur, turn off your component and reconnect it. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and
plugging it back in.
• If you are tuned to the HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 INPUT and you’re receiving an Unusable Signal
message onscreen, press the INFO button on the remote. If Acquiring Channel appears in the Channel
Banner, the HDMI or DVI device isn’t responding. Contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI device for
further assistance.
• If you tune to the HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 INPUT and you see snow, the video goes in and
out, or the video takes a long time to appear, your HDMI or DVI component is having trouble sending video
information to the TV. Reconnect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and
plugging it back in. If problems persist, try connecting the Y Pb Pr jacks if they are available or contact the
manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI component for further assistance.
• If you have black bars on each side of your picture, the component you connected might have a switch or
a menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will fix this. Choose either 720p or 1080i.
The Remote control doesn’t work.
• Something might be between the remote and the remote light sensor on the front of the TV. Make sure
there is a clear path.
• The remote may not be aimed directly at the TV.
• The batteries in the remote may be weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote.
(Note: If you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other component.)
You are experiencing problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls.
• If the rating limits don’t work, you must lock the settings. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU on your remote),
select Parental Control, select Lock Parental Control.
I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV.
• If you forget your password, turn the TV off. Simultaneously press and hold VOL DOWN on the side panel
and CANCEL on the remote for 5 seconds. Next time you enter the Parental Control Menu, enter a new
password.
What Else Can I Do?
If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fixed your problem, try rebooting your TV.
Note that after a reboot, you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To do a reboot,
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or power strip. Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes. Then
plug in the TV and turn it on. See if the problem is fixed. If the problem remains, then please click on the
Customer Support Menu at www.rca.com/television for updated FAQs or contact RCA Customer Support at
the support number provided in your Warranty under How To Get Service.

sexual dialogue (D) or situations (S), no strong language (L), and little or no violence (V).
TV-Y7 (Directed to Children 7 years and older) Designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more
appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make
believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic
violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7.
TV-Y (All Children) Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including
children ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.
Canadian English V-Chip Rating System
18+ (Adult) Programming intended for adults 18 and older. It may contain elements of violence, language,
and sexual content which could make it unsuitable for viewers under 18. Violence Guidelines: May contain
violence integral to the development of the plot, character or theme, intended for adult audiences. Other
Content Guidelines: May contain graphic language and explicit portrayals of nudity and/or sex.
14+ (Viewer 14 and over) Programming contains themes or content which may not be suitable for viewers
under the age of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting viewing by pre-teens
and early teens. Violence Guidelines: May contain intense scenes of violence. Could deal with mature themes
and societal issues in a realistic fashion. Other Content Guidelines: May contain scenes of nudity and/or
sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profanity.
PG (Parental Guidance) Programming intended for a general audience but which may not be suitable for
younger children (under the age of 8). Parents may consider some content inappropriate for unsupervised
viewing by children aged 8-13. Violence Guidelines: Depictions of conflict and/or aggression will be limited
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.
G (General Audience) Programming considered acceptable for all ages groups. While not designed specifically
for children, it is understood younger viewers may be part of the audience. Violence Guidelines: Will contain
very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could frighten a
younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the effects of violent
acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some inoffensive slang, no profanity and no nudity.

C8+ (Children 8 and older) 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.
C (Children) Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines: Careful attention is paid to
themes which could threaten children’s sense of security and well being. There will be no realistic scenes of
violence. Depictions of aggressive behavior will be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly
imaginary, comedic or unrealistic in nature. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language,
nudity or sexual content.
Canadian French V-Chip Rating System
18+ (Adult) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent
scenes.
16+ (Viewer 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains
frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.
13+ (Viewer 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This program
either contains several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in
the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children under the age of 13.
8+ (Viewer 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.
G (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.

Care and Cleaning
Caution: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots
in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
IMPORTANT: Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or
abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV. The TV’s screen may
be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the
screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. While
cleaning, do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the
screen and inside the TV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the
TV. This could increase the risk of fire, shock hazard or damage to the TV.
