About Your LCD
Congratulations on your purchase of the 42" Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The LCD, incorporated with an attached optional multimedia module, supports the latest digital TV standards including a High
Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and a digital TV receiver. With the HDMI feature, the LCD can transfer uncompressed video and audio at same time, while the digital TV receiver enables the LCD to receive signals transmitted from all available VHF/UHF bands in your area. Along with a variety of options for connecting an input source and an easy-to-use on-screen display (OSD), the LCD helps you in fine-tuning your viewing experience. The multilayer on-screen menus give you control and access to the various LCD features. The LCD is also designed to be versatile to meet your viewing needs and fit neatly into any room. It can be mounted on a wall or a stand.
Key features:
• Worldwide multistandard video support for NTSC, PAL, or SECAM systems
• Built-in High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
• High-performance panel with 10-bit output format
• Inverse 3:2 NTSC/2:2 PAL pulldown for a smoother, superior picture
• Picture In Picture (PIP) and Picture Out Picture (POP) support
• Dual Tuners (NTSC and ATSC)
• Easy PIP swap and PIP placement, with built in de-interlace

Picture Effects
LCD displays provide you with an excellent viewing experience, providing images of high quality and high resolution. The picture remains bright and vibrant under all types of lighting conditions; the image is smooth and even because there are no visible scan lines.
This LCD not only supports the latest digital technologies, it also offers a superior way to view highquality images that only HDTV and DVD can provide. The color is rich and realistic, with a spectrum of literally millions of color variations — far beyond what a conventional TV can offer. Your 42-inch LCD takes LCD technology a step further with pixel enhancement and color space converters. The digital comb filter eliminates blurred edges, so that the picture remains in sharp focus at all times.
Wide viewing angles let you watch comfortably from anywhere in the room, and the wide 16:9 aspect ratio takes full advantage of the large screen, especially for viewing HDTV, which also uses the same aspect ratio. And because many TV programs continue to broadcast in the narrower 4:3 aspect ratio, the
LCD also includes aspect ratio conversion to automatically convert to a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Picture features:
• Per-pixel Motion de-interlace, 3D comb filter (NTSC/PAL), 3D noise reduction
• Digital Picture Control
• Auto Film Mode detection with inverse 3:2 NTSC/2:2 PAL pull down
• Digital Color/Luminance Transient Improvement (DCTI/DLTI)
• Proprietary pixel enhancement technology
• 4:3 image display on 16:9 output and aspect ratio conversion
• Frame rate up/down conversion
• Full programmable color space converter

Viewing TV from Aerial Signals
Equipped with advanced technology, your LCD is able to receive both analog and digital signals in two ways: 1) Directly through an antenna, or 2) From a cable service provider. The following section describes how to connect your LCD from an analog or digital antenna port. As there are two antenna ports — analog and digital -— on the rear of the LCD, make sure you use the correct port when connecting the LCD.
Connecting the Cable
A. Analog Antenna Connection
Connect the coaxial cable from a VHF antenna or from the cable TV provider to your LCD.
To view direct aerial TV signals through a VHF antenna, set the LCD source to Antenna by using the ANT/CBL button on the remote control or through
Source from the on-screen menu. Otherwise, set the LCD source to Cable to receive service from cable signal providers.
B. Digital Antenna Connection
Connect the coaxial cable from a UHF antenna or from the cable TV provider to your LCD.

Connecting External Devices to Your LCD
You can connect many types of audio visual and entertainment devices to the LCD.
Most audio/video devices offer a choice of several connection types. The most common types of connections are Composite (AV), S-Video, and Component (YPbPr). S-Video provides higher quality picture transmission than the Composite interface, and Component (YPbPr) provides the highest quality picture transmission. At present, HDMI* (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is one of the most common interfaces available for carrying and passing digital signals. Your LCD includes an HDMI feature that allows your LCD to display high-definition images through an all-digital connection, ensuring the purest image quality available.
You may choose any of the connection types offered on a device, based on the convenience or quality of the connection type. The table below shows device signals supported by the different connectors in your LCD. Incorrect connections may cause devices or the LCD to malfunction, so be sure to refer to the table before making any connections between your devices and the LCD.

Programming Your Remote Control
The remote control that comes with your LCD is also a universal remote control. This lets you control your LCD and the external devices connected to it, such as a VCR, DVD player, cable box receiver, and satellite receiver.
How to Program Your Remote Control
There are two ways to program your remote control to control your devices: Through Auto Research, and through manual code-entering.
Auto Research
Your remote control is able to distinguish the devices of different brands through its auto research button. To start the auto research function, follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the power of the device that you would use; e.g., your VCR.
2. Press and hold the device button (VCR, DVD, or
CBL/SAT) corresponding to the device you wish to set up on the remote control.
The LED light start flashing (On, Off, and On) after the device button is pressed.
3. Release the device button.
The LED light start flashing again, indicating that the remote control is starting the automatic device search.
4. If your device has been found by the remote control, your device will be turned off automatically. Turn on the device again immediately, press any button on the remote control, and then your remote control will be set up as the remote control for your device.
5. If your device cannot be found by the remote control automatically, refer to the next section for setting up the remote control manually.

Manual Setup
1. Turn to the list of "Manufacturing Codes of
Devices" on the next few pages, and find the 3digit code representing the manufacturer of your device.
Please note that if more than one code number is listed, use the number listed first.
2. Turn on the power of the device that you would use; e.g., your VCR.
3. Press and hold the device button (VCR, DVD, or
CBL/SAT) corresponding to the device you wish to set up on the remote control.
4. Hold on the device button and enter the 3-digit code for the device, using the number buttons (0-9) on the remote control.
For example, to enter the code 001 for a Sony
VCR, press the VCR button and then 0, 0, 1.
5. Release the device button after entering the code.
6. Turn off the power of the device, and then press the PWR2 (Green) button to test if you are able to turn on your device. If you cannot turn on your device, repeat Step 2 to Step 6 again.
NOTE:
• Your remote control memorize codes as they were entered at the most recent occasion. If you wish to set up the remote control for other devices, you will need to repeat the steps described above in the
Manual Setup Section.
• By pressing the TV button on the remote control, you can set up the remote control to return to the default TV mode.
• The PWR1 (Red) button can be used only to turn your LCD on and off. Even when your remote control has been set up as the remote control for other devices, you can still use the PWR1 (Red) button to turn your LCD on and off.
• The PWR2 (Green) button can be used to turn other devices on and off, depending on how you program
