Note: In the past the relationship between a TV screen’s width to height, or aspect ratio, has historically been 33% wider than the picture screen height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The widescreen format of your TV screen is nearly 80% greater than its measure height (which accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio). The reason for the 16:9 aspect ratio screen is that it allows for the dramatic and lifelike viewing of original version movies and cinemas (similar to the type found in your local theaters). And the 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is also a good visual match for how our eyes work in a horizontally oriented field of view and action plane. CABLE TUNING CLOSED CAPTIONS CHANNEL MEMORY MORE...

The ANT A input is primarily for the TV’s main screen picture. The ANT B input is provided as a second, dedicated source option for the TV’s PIP “window” and its feature operations. The signal connected to the ANT B input can be either a Split Signal Input (as described in the section on this page), or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).

No Power No Picture No Sound Remote Does Not Work TV Displays Wrong Channel or No Channels Above 13 CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing. • Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 1 minute, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again. • Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch. • Check antenna connections on the rear of the TV. Are they properly secured to the antenna plug on the TV? • Check the CABLE TUNING control for correct position. • Check Picture Source (A/V Button) for correct position ANT A or B; AUX 1/2/3 VIDEO; AUX 1/2 Y PB PR; etc. position without a signal source will result in a blank screen. • Check the CLOSED CAPTIONS control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen. • Check the VOLUME and MUTE buttons on the TV and remote. • Check the TV SPEAKER NORMAL/OFF sound control for the correct position. • If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections and that the auxiliary equipment is on and in the proper operating modes. • Check AMP Switch on rear of TV. Place in INT(ernal) position for normal TV sound. EXT(ernal) for optional Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound connections using the TV’s speakers as Center channel. • Check Product “System” buttons on the remote. Press the remote’s TV System button to send commands to the TV; VCR System to sent to VCR; etc. Check the separate Remote Control Owner’s Manual for further operation details. • Check batteries. Replace with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries if necessary. • Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV. • Repeat channel selection. • Add desired channel numbers (ADD/DELETE CHANNELS control) into TV memory. • Check CABLE TUNING control for correct position. This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty. Cleaning and Care • To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning. • When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning. • Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about an optional Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885. • Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces. • Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back. • Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish. 50 GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS Aspect Ratio * The proportions of a rectangular display screen. NTSC television has a 4:3 ratio; HDTV is 16:9. Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the TV’s memory circuits. In this way the TV “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers. Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection options. Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the TV control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received. Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR. RGB * Red, Green, Blue color component inputs used for connection purposes with personal computers (PCs) and other high definition video devices. Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate and adjust TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD). RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the carrier for television broadcasts. HDTV * High Definition Television which offers approximately twice the vertical/horizontal resolution of NTSC video, and sound quality approaching that of compact disc. (Usually taken to mean a picture of 1920 x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.) Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or 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.) Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate and send commands to the other product. 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). LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator. SVGA * Super Video Graphics Array Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the TV screen that are made available for user adjustments. S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player, etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity. Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture. Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two strand 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 Televisions and VCRs. NTSC * National Television Standards Committee format devised for TV broadcasting signals in the 1940s (525 lines; 30Hz.) On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.). Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which allows for volume variations at the source. Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are shown on the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP picture is supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback source). The PIP picture can also be moved and swapped with the TV's main screen picture.
