Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12.

Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries

NOTE: This owner's manual is used with several different television models. Not all features (and drawings) discussed in this manual will necessarily match those found with your television set. This is normal and does not require that you contact your dealer or request service.

ANTENNA A AND B INPUTS

Y

on the back of the set. These two signal inputs offer convenient hookup options for both normal TV program viewing and Picture-In-Picture (PIP) features.

The ANT(enna) “A” input is

intended for use and viewing on the TV’s main screen. Your home’s primary antenna or cable TV signal should be connected to this input for normal

TV setup, use, and feature operation.

The PIP ANT(enna) “B”

input is a second, or auxiliary, signal source included for your

TV’s Picture-In-Picture (PIP) feature. For many homes, the use of a single existing antenna or cable TV source for both

ANT(enna)“A” and PIP

ANT(enna) “B” will be the preferred method of connection

(see illustration to the right).

This type of connection

(optional signal splitter required) will work properly for the TV’s main on-screen features, as well as retain all the features designed for PIP.

For more details on PIP, refer to pages 49–52 in the

Directions for Use manual that came with your set.

Connect a cable TV

signal to a 75-ohm two-way signal splitter (an optional accessory).

Or

Connect an outdoor or

indoor antenna signal to the

75-ohm two-way signal splitter. If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you must first attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300to 75-ohm adapter before connecting to the two-way signal splitter.

Connect two lengths of

RF coaxial cable to the two output plugs on the two-way signal splitter. The two lengths of RF coaxial cable must have

F-type connectors (screw-on or push type) on their ends.

Connect one of the RF

coaxial cables coming from two-way signal splitter to the

PIP ANT(enna) “B” input on the back of the TV and the other RF coaxial cable to the

ANT(enna) “A” input on the back of the TV.

You can treat the output connection of a satellite receiver as you would a standard antenna or cable TV signal, except the satellite signal should not be split as shown in the illustration to the right. The satellite signal should go directly into the

ANT(enna) “A” input connection on the back of the

TV. Then, if you would like, use the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input connection for either an outdoor/indoor antenna or cable TV signal. Refer to the owner’s manual for the satellite box to get further information on connections.

Run Auto Program to store in the TV’s memory only the channels with active broadcast stations. See page 5 for details.

NOTE: Proper operation of your TV is not dependent upon the connection of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input. The main purpose of the input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for the PIP feature. You can, however, use the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input to connect and display other signal sources such as an outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player.

Although the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input can be used and swapped as the source for the TV’s main picture, certain setup features (such as AutoChron) are based only on your TV’s detecting a signal at the ANT(enna) “A” input. To ensure that all features are operating properly, you may not want to rely solely on the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input as your TV’s main screen signal source.

(games), as well as to the occurrence of a weak broadcast signal.

AutoSound allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and

Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

Bass Boost increases the low-frequency range of the TV’s sound.

Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the

TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel Scan (+,–) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as on-screen text.

Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) can help eliminate broadcast signal noise

(“speckles” in the picture).

ImageMax helps you sharpen the picture quality by making dark portions of the picture darker and lighter portions brighter.

Incredible Surround makes the TV’s sound broader and fuller.

Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.

On-screen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for adjusting or setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or Spanish).

Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV off after a set amount of time of your choice.

Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.

Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound.

Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have programmed into the TV’s Surf control through the on-screen menu).

Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself on and off once or daily like an alarm clock.

Two Tuners enable you to connect two different RF (radio frequency) signals to your TV at once (through the ANT[enna] “A” and PIP ANT[enna] “B” inputs). On screen these signal sources are referred to as “Tuner-A” and

“Tuner-B.”

Features Menu • The AutoLock Control

T he AutoLock feature can help parents censor what their children watch on TV. AutoLock receives content advisories sent by broadcasters or other program providers. After you program AutoLock, it can respond to the content advisories and block programs that contain content which you may consider objectionable—offensive language, violence, or sexual situations.

In this section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features on or off.

Following on this page are brief explanations of AutoLock terms and program ratings.

Terms

BLOCKING control—can be thought of as the “master switch” for

AutoLock. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is

OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCK-

ING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.

BLOCK UNRATED control—if set to ON, blocks all unrated programs.

Unrated programming consists of the kind of shows that the MPAA (Motion

Picture Association of America) or the

TV broadcasters have chosen not to rate.

NO RATING control—if set to ON, blocks all programming with no content advisory data.

Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating information from the MPAA or the Parental

Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category.

You can also block individual channels using the BLOCK CHANNEL control.

TV-Y (All Children)—designed to be appropriate for all children, especially ones ages 2–6. Programs rated TV-Y are not expected to frighten younger children.

TV-Y7 (Directed to Older Children)—designed for children ages 7 and older. Programs rated TV-Y7 may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the development skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Such programs may include mild fantasy and comic violence (FV).

TV-G (General Audience)—likely to be considered suitable for children of all ages. Such programs have little or no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialogue or sexual situations.

TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)—contain material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. This type of programming has one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).

TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned)—contain material that many parents will find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Such programs have one or more of the following: intense violence (V); intense sexual situations (S); strong, coarse language (L); or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).

TV-MA (Mature Audience Only)—specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. Such programs have one or more of the following: graphic violence (V); explicit sexual situations

(S); or crude, indecent language (L).

Second Audio Program, or SAP, is an additional part of the stereo broadcast system. Sent as a third audio channel, an SAP can be heard apart from the current TV program sound. TV stations are free to use SAP for any number of purposes, such as the broadcast of a second language or other audio information.

If an SAP signal is not present with a selected program, the SAP option cannot be selected; NOT AVAILABLE will appear on screen. Also, if SAP is selected on a channel and you change to another channel, when you return to the original channel, SAP will be off. You will have to reselect the SAP feature.

NOTE: The Search Method works only with devices equipped with

Channel Display Indicators or that capability. If the Direct Access code number method (shown in the previous section) did not enable your TV remote to work your accessory device, then follow the easy steps listed below.

Please read the steps once before performing them.

BEGIN

Turn on the desired device. Press and hold down the VCR or ACC

Watch the Channel Indicator on your accessory device. Channel numbers will scan up when the TV remote has identified the correct code for your accessory device. This may take several minutes.

Release the mode (VCR or ACC)

and SURF buttons as soon as channel numbers start to scan up. The scanning means that your TV remote has found the code for your accessory device.

PIP (B

ASIC

C

ONNECTIONS

)

P icture-In-Picture (PIP) is the showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP). This

TV has two separate inputs (ANT[enna]

“A” and PIP ANT[enna] “B”) for your home’s Antenna and/or Cable TV system signals. ANT “A” is referred to on screen as “TUNER-A,” and PIP ANT

“B” is referred to as “TUNER-B.”

The ANT “A” input is primarily for the

TV’ s main screen picture. The PIP

ANT “B” input is provided as a second dedicated source option for the TV’s

PIP “window” and its feature opera-

tions. The signal connected to the PIP

ANT “B” input can be either a split signal input (as described and illustrated on this page) or a separate external signal source (such as an additional home antenna, satellite dish system, or video accessory device).

See the following steps on how channels connected to the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input can be shown and used within the

PIP window.

BEGIN

Use an RF coaxial cable to connect a cable or satellite signal to the single 75-ohm input plug on a twoway signal splitter (not supplied).

Connect two lengths of RF coax-

ial cable to the two output plugs on the two-way signal splitter.

Connect one of the RF coaxial cables coming from the two-way signal splitter to the ANT(enna)

“A” input on the back of the set.

Then connect the other RF coaxial cable coming from the two-way signal splitter to the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input on the back of the TV.

NOTE: The purpose of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input (referred to as “TUNER-B” on your TV screen) is to provide an easily connected, dedicated signal source for use with

PIP. A split signal (as illustrated on this page) is not the only option in connecting to the

PIP ANT(enna) “B” input. An additional outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player, for example, could also be connected and displayed on the TV’s PIP screen window through the use of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input.

A video source such as a video game, CDI, or TV information channel that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can damage the picture tube. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the nonmoving portion of the on-screen image can become permanently fixed on the picture tube. When you are not using the video source, turn it off. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

Cleaning and Care

• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When you are cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Wipe the front screen with a cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.

Audio/Video Inputs • Connectors (RCA phono-type plug), located on the back of the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-connection options.

Programming • The process of adding or deleting channel numbers in the television’s memory circuits. Through programming, the TV “remembers” only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

PTV • Projection Television. (Rear- and/or front-projection design systems are available.) Closed Captioning • The broadcast standard feature that allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed

Captioning uses on-screen text boxes to show dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.

Remote Control Sensor Window • The window or opening found on the television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

RF • Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the carrier for television broadcasts.

Component Video Input • The input that allows the separate reception of blue, red, and luminance signals. Provides the highest possible color and picture resolution in the playback of digital signal source material, such as the kind available from DVD players. Allows improved bandwidth information not possible through composite video (A/V) or S-Video Connections.

RF coaxial cable • Used to connected a broadcast or cable signal to the TV. Also can be used to connect a VCR to the TV (or cable box or DBS).

Identify • The method by which a TV remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or a cable converter). After the code has been “identified,” the

TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other product.

Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed programming).

Incredible Stereo (or Surround) • False acoustic management of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure.

Status • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV of on-screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out,” or automatically disappear from the screen).

Menu • An on-screen list of feature controls that are available for you to adjust.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) • The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

S-Video Input • Signal input that allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as satellite, DVD (digital video disc), S (Super)-VHS videocassette recorder, or video games. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.

On-screen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature controls (color adjustment or programming, for example).

Picture-in-Picture • The showing of two pictures on the TV screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small picture, or PIP).

Twin–lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the twostrand, 300-ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases, this type of antenna wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75-ohm input terminals designed into the more recent TVs and VCRs.
