T he major benefit of this projection television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimal spot for viewing.

NOTE: Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot—for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the TV until there is no picture distortion.

I you may want to read this section. (The cables and connectors discussed are not supplied with your set. You can buy them at most stores that sell audio or video products. Or call our Customer Care Center at

1-800-531-0039.)

This publication provides you with examples of basic connections.

See pages 6–17 in the Directions for Use manual for more information on connections, along with connection examples.

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals from an antenna or a cable TV company to the antenna jack on the back of the TV.

Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

A two-way signal splitter enables you to take a single antenna or cable TV signal and supply it to two different inputs.

A 300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter accepts the antenna cables (called twin-lead wires) from an antenna, allowing you to connect the antenna signal to the TV.

Video and audio cables with standard RCA

(phono) connectors connect the video and audio jacks of accessory devices such as VCRs and DVD players to the jacks on the TV.

To simplify making connections, the connectors are usually color coded. The jacks on your TV are likewise color coded to match the colors of the connectors. The coding is as follows: yellow for video (composite) and red and white for the right and left audio channels, respectively. Use an audio cable with a white connector when making mono, or nonstereo, connections. The connectors of video cables used to connect component video or

RGB (high-resolution) jacks are often color coded red, green, and blue. Component video connections provide you with the highest possible color and picture resolution.

An S-Video cable connects devices such as DVD players, VCRs, or camcorders to your TV. S-Video provides better picture performance than regular (composite) video connections.

S-Video cables can be used only with S-Video-compatible accessory devices.

You must also connect the left and right audio cables along with S-Video because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

A VGA (DB15) cable makes a VGA connection to the HD INPUT-AV 5 jack on the rear of the TV.

A NTENNA OR C ABLE TV

T his section shows you how to make a basic TV connection using a cable TV or antenna signal.

If you have cable TV service, you’ll simply connect the coaxial cable lead-in from the cable TV company to your TV. If you intend to connect a VHF/UHF antenna, you may need a 300- to 75-ohm adapter, which is not supplied with your TV.

NOTE: You should be able to buy optional accessories such as a

VHF/UHF antenna or a 300- to 75-ohm adapter at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

Alternate Channel (A/CH) button allows you to switch back and forth between the currently viewed channel and the previously viewed channel.

Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) Because both analog sources (cable TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9,

21:9, etc.) the picture on a digital television may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom. Once black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture, pixel-by-pixel, just enough to blur image retention. Because APAC works in both the analog and digital modes, you have excellent protection.

Audio/video jacks allow direct connections with VCRs and other accessories for quality TV picture and sound playback. Component video input jacks are provided for high-fidelity color and picture resolution when using digital video source material, such as a

DVD.

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) control keeps the TV’s sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more consistent, comfortable sound.

AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

AutoLock™ protects young children from objectionable programming with V-chip technology.

Automatic Format automatically detects the incoming signal’s format and adjusts it to fill the screen. Also, your remote control has a Format button that allows you to select the picture format you want to see.

Smart Picture™ allows you to push a button and adapt your TV’s picture to various types of programs, such as sports, movies, and multimedia (games).

Smart Sound™ 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 submenu. The three factory-set controls—Voice, Music, and Theatre—enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

Channel Edit allows you to add or remove channels from the list of channels 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 CH +/– buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or voice conversations as onscreen text.

Smart Contrast helps you sharpen the picture quality by making the contrast between the dark and bright picture areas more noticeable as the image on screen changes.

Smart Scan gives you a choice between two different picturescanning techniques—progressive and interlaced. Progressive scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating line flicker. The interlaced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The

Interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces.

High-definition component video inputs allow you to connect

High-definition signals to the TV (HD INPUT-AV 4 only). The result is superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise. Your set provides separate HD inputs for YPbPr/RGB, as well as horizontal and vertical sync.

Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin speaker system. The system enables you to hear stereo sound or

Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are available.

Incredible Surround™ enhances stereo programs by making the sound broader and fuller.

Onscreen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or set those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or

Spanish).

Standard broadcast (VHF/UHF) or cable TV (CATV) channel capability, as well as advanced capability for high-definition video.

Three-line comb filter provides improved chroma/luminance separation to the picture. Offering vertical-edge enhancement and virtually no “dot crawl,” this filter easily supports the demands of DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.

• Signals connected to the HD INPUT-AV 4 inputs will provide you with the best picture.

Examples of sources for such signals are a progressive-scan DVD player (480p) or an

HD receiver (1080i or 480p) with YPbPr or

RGB outputs. The 1080i signals will provide you with the best picture possible.

Devices with RGB outputs may or may not have H and V sync outputs to connect to the

HD INPUT-AV 4 H and V SYNC inputs.

• Among the 480i-compatible inputs

(ANTENNA IN 75 Ω , INPUT AV-1, INPUT

AV-2, and the side jack panel), you will get the best picture from the component video inputs (labeled YPbPr). The S-Video inputs will provide the next-best level of picture quality.

™ he AutoLock™ feature can help parT ents control what their children watch on TV. AutoLock™ does this by using the 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 that you may consider objectionable—offensive language, violence, or sexual situations. You can also use AutoLock™ to block channels that you don’t want your children to watch.

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 BLOCKING 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.

BLOCK CHANNEL control— enables you to block individual channels that you don’t want children to see.

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).

Y our TV’s wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio) delivers a home-cinema experience not possible with a conventional (4:3 aspect ratio) set.

High-definition (HD) programs originating in

16:9 format and other widescreen-format video sources appear more lifelike, dramatic, and theatrical. Border bars are diminished or eliminated. Most anamorphic-DVD programs will fill the wide screen without border bars.

Use your HD set-top box or progressive-scancapable DVD player to control the picture formats of video sources connected to the TV’s HD

AV4 input.

For flexibility with video sources connected to your TV’s standard inputs—ANTENNA, AV1,

CVI, AV2, or AV3 (side panel)—access your TV’s picture-format modes. View a video source in standard (4:3) format or enlarge it to fill the screen in various ways using EXPAND 4:3,

PANORAMA, WIDE SCREEN, or AUTO.

Selecting a Picture Format


Use your TV’s picture-format modes with video sources you connect to the ANTENNA, AV1,

CVI, AV2, or AV3 (side panel) inputs on the TV.

While watching a video source—with no onscreen menu or display present—press the

CURSOR BUTTON RIGHT or LEFT as many times as necessary to select the picture format you desire. Or press the FORMAT button to perform the same function.

Pictures appear more lifelike, dramatic, and theatrical on your TV's wide screen.

• The term aspect ratio refers to the relationship between the width and height of a TV screen. Historically, TV screen width has been 33 percent greater than its height, amounting to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

The width of your widescreen TV, however, is nearly 80 percent greater than its height, which means its aspect ratio is

16:9. This screen corresponds well with the tendency of the eyes to feel more comfortable with fields of view and action planes that are horizontally oriented. The wide screen is also proportionally truer to the formats in which movies are filmed and presented in theaters.

• Although the term widescreen can have various meanings, it is most commonly used to refer to a picture format or screen that has a greater aspect ratio than the conventional 4:3.

The picture-format modes are available for use only with video sources connected to the ANTENNA, AV1, CVI, AV2, and AV3

Picture-format Modes

4:3 shows the conventional (4:3 aspect ratio) picture in its original format. Border bars are displayed on the sides. (See the warning above.)

EXPAND 4:3 expands, or zooms, the picture both vertically and horizontally, eliminating or reducing the size of border bars. Picture information is lost around the edges.

PANORAMA stretches the outer portions of the picture horizontally and causes some vertical expansion.

WIDE SCREEN expands the picture horizontally. No vertical expansion occurs.

AUTO senses the presence of borders bars and zooms the picture to reduce or eliminate the bars. The amount of zoom varies based on the original picture, but this option can provide more expansion than EXPAND 4:3.

AUTO works best with video programs that were originally “letterboxed.” Formatted to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio, these programs are presented with border bars at top and bottom.

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV Screen:

Do not leave picture border bars or stationary images on screen for extended periods of time.This can cause uneven picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for extended periods of time, or to display the same images on screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on the picture tubes. Avoid showing pictures with border bars or the same stationary images more than 15 percent of your total viewing in any one week. Sources of stationary images may be broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, digital television boxes, DVD discs, laser discs, video games, CD-i discs, videotapes, and others.

Here are some examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter others in your viewing):

• Border bars— solid bars shown when viewing a standard

(4:3) picture and some widescreen movies on your widescreen (16:9) TV

• DVD menus— listings of DVD disc content

• Video-game images and scoreboards

• Television station logos— present a problem if they are bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers— presented at the bottom of the TV screen

• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays— bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the

TV screen.

All picture tubes age with use, with their light output diminishing over time. But by maintaining normal use—mixing television picture types—you will create conditions in the tubes age at an even rate. The result will be a TV picture that is evenly bright over the entire screen.

P

LACEMENT OF THE

TV

• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

C

LEANING

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

• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster to keep the TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, 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.

These kits contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the ridges of the TV screen. Purchase the kits at stores that sell electronics. Or call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

• 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 back cover of the set.

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

Alternate Channel • The feature that allows you to toggle between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH button on the remote control.

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

Auto Program • The feature that, when activated, scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

Channel Edit • The feature that allows you to add or delete channels from the list of channels 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 CH +/– buttons on your remote control.

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 onscreen text boxes to show dialogue and conversations while a TV program is in progress.

Coaxial Cable • A single solid 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.

Comb Filter • TV filter that removes distortion, resulting in a sharper and purer color display. The comb filter addresses the annoying cross-color distortion that may occur in TV broadcasts when, for example, the presenter wears a striped or checked jacket.

Component Video Inputs • Inputs that allow the separate reception of blue, red, and luminance signals. These inputs provide the highest possible color and picture resolution in the playback of digital signal-source material, such as the kind available from

DVD players. Component video inputs allow for improved bandwidth information not possible through composite video or S-

Video connections.

Composite Video Input • An input in which all the components required for displaying the onscreen image are combined in one signal.

Convergence • The technique used in color TV for bringing the red, green, and blue color beams together so that they hit the same part of the picture tube screen at the same time. This avoids color fringes around images in the picture.

High-definition Television (HDTV) • High-resolution digital television. HDTV is high-resolution digital television. It has lifelike pictures, and with it films retain their original width, enhancing the home theater experience.

Incredible 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.

Interlaced • A picture-scanning technique that improves the appearance of onscreen motion. It also helps smooth jagged lines that are sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces in the picture.

Menu • An onscreen list of feature controls available for you to adjust or set.

NTSC • National Television Standards Committee format devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals (525

53 lines: 30 Hz).

Onscreen 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).

Progressive Scan • A picture-scanning technique that doubles the number of picture lines, eliminating the flicker and providing a jitter-free picture.

PTV • Projection Television. (Rear- and/or front-projection design systems are available.)

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

RGB • Red, green, and blue signal. These are the primary colors of light that are used to produce a picture in television. By mixing levels or R, G, and B, all colors (chrominance and luminance) are reproduced.

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

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).

Status/Exit Button • Remote-control button that, when pressed, shows the current channel number, name (if set), time (if set), and sound setting (stereo, mono, SAP, or mute). Pressing the button twice shows the current AutoLock™ settings. Pressing the button once when an onscreen display is showing removes the onscreen display. You can use Status/Exit rather than having to wait for the displays to “time out,” or automatically disappear from the screen.

S-Video Input • Signal input that allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a satellite receiver, DVD player, S (Super)-VHS videocassette recorder, or video games.

Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.

480p • Digital picture format with 704 x 480 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second. This is the output format of progressive-scan DVD players.

1080i • Digital high-definition picture format with 1920 x 1080 pixels, sent at 60 interlaced frames per second (30 complete frames per second).

Tint • TV function that allows you to change the general color balance between cool and warm. Adjust tint according to your personal preference.

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.
