In MGW mode, the choice is between Scenario mode and Media Gateway; see page 20 for details.

The default setting for both modes is Scenario mode.

English

Scenario mode (default setting)

Scenario mode has five preset viewing modes designed to give you the best picture quality when watching a particular kind of program. There are five pre-defined audio and video settings for optimal enjoyment of the following scenarios: Standard TV, Movie, Sport, Concert, Game, User.

Mode Information

Standard

Standard mode allows you to watch your favorite channels with sharp, brilliant imagery via adaptive brightness and contrast adjustments. Clear-sounding audio is provided by BBE performance.

Movie

For comfortably enjoying movies at home, Movie mode displays dim scenes in clear detail; compensates for color; and smoothly presents motion images. This is accomplished through optimal Gamma correction plus saturation, brightness and contrast adjustments. Movie mode makes the most of high-definition movie soundtracks by using SRS WOW technology.

Game

Game mode carefully details the exquisite graphics of modern video games, providing lifelike entertainment while protecting your eyesight by adjusting brightness and contrast. What's more, Game mode provides a heightened audio experience via BBE technology.

Sports

Sports mode is suited for outdoor sports programs, with accurate background depth and clear gradation between the bright, outdoor playing field and darker auditoriums. Sports mode also brilliantly enhances colors and presents swiftly moving pictures without residual images. All of this is achieved via specific Gamma corrections and saturation adjustments. Precise audio can be heard, thanks to BBE performance.

Concert

Concert mode places you in a virtual concert hall, opera house or other dim environment by means of adaptive brightness and contrast adjustments. Concert mode accentuates symphonic harmonies and the tenor audio range using BBE technology.

TV mode

Storing favorite channels

Select your desired channel, then press the MENU key on the remote control.

Use the arrow keys to navigate the menu and select the Empowering Technology icon.

Navigate to a channel slot, then press the Empowering Key to add or remove the channel.

Viewing your favorite channels

On the remote control, if you press the Empowering Key for less than one second, the TV will toggle between the five stored TV channels sequentially according to your list of favorites.

SRS WOW

SRS WOW is a special combination of SRS audio technologies that creates a thrilling experience with deep, rich bass from any stereo sound source. Your audio sounds fuller, richer and wider. Based on the elements of SRS 3D technology, WOW restores the spatial cues and ambient information that are lost during standard stereo playback.

To enable SRS WOW: Press the SRS/BBE key on the remote control.

BBE Digital

All sound that is amplified through a loudspeaker suffers some loss of fidelity, or subtle distortions, caused by the inherent characteristics of the loudspeaker. BBE Digital addresses these problems by compensating for phase and amplitude distortions and, in effect, delivers the signal to the speaker in a form that allows it to reproduce the original performance more fully and more faithfully.

To enable BBE Digital, press the SRS/BBE key on the remote control.

Dolby Digital (Digital TV only)

Dolby Digital surround sound is a technology that delivers high-quality digital audio for up to 5.1 discrete channels (Left/Center/Right/Left Surround/Right Surround/Low-Frequency Effects). The five speaker channels produce a directional and more realistic effect and the Low-Frequency Effects (LFE) channel (usually reproduced through a subwoofer) can often be felt as well as heard.

Dolby Digital technology is found in: broadcast programming in HDTV, digital cable, and (DBS, DTH) direct broadcast satellite (DirecTV/Dish/Sky TV); digital TVs; networking and home audio/video receivers.

The Acer LCD TV is Dolby Digital ready. It is enabled whenever your TV signal is broadcast in the Dolby Digital format.

For a list of the available sources for this feature, please refer to the appendix at the end of this manual.

Troubleshooting

Before you call the Acer service center, please check the following items:

Here is a list of possible situations that may arise during the use of your LCD TV. Easy answers and solutions are provided for each.

There is no picture or sound.

• Make sure the power cord is properly inserted in the power outlet.

• Make sure the input mode is correctly set by your selected input.

• Make sure the antenna at the rear of the TV is properly connected.

• Make sure the main power switch is turned on.

• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum or the sound is not set to mute.

• Make sure the headphones are not connected.

• Reception other than those of broadcasting stations can be considered.

Picture is not clear.

• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.

• Consider whether your TV signal is being properly received.

• Poor picture quality can occur due to a VHS camera, camcorder, or other peripheral being connected at the same time. Switch off one of the other peripherals.

• The 'ghost' or double image may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high-rise buildings or hills. Using a highly directional antenna may improve the picture quality.

• The horizontal dotted lines shown on the pictures may be caused by electrical interference, e.g., hair dryer, nearby neon lights, etc. Turn off or remove these.

Picture is too dark, too light or tinted.

• Check the color adjustment.

• Check the brightness setting.

• Check the sharpness function.

• The fluorescent lamp may have reached the end of its service life.

Remote control does not work.

• Check the batteries of the remote control.

• Make sure the remote sensor window is not under strong fluorescent lighting.

• Try to clean the remote control sensor lens on the TV with a soft cloth.

• Use the buttons (hotkeys) on the TV before the remote control works.

If the above suggestions do not solve your technical issue, please refer to the warranty card for service information.

English

For MGW models only:

I can't find any of my music, pictures or video, or access online radio.

• You must ensure that your media server is switched on and that it is not in Standby mode. To make your content available around the clock you may need to adjust your power settings.

• Make sure that the eConsole software is running on your PC; the icon should appear in your PC taskbar.

• Make sure that the media server is enabled and that your LCD TV has access to the files. You can check this on the opening page of the eConsole software.

• Check your network settings are correct; and if you are using a wired network, that all the connections are correctly attached.

• If using a static IP address, verify that the values are in the same range as your other network devices and that the address is not already being used by another device.

• Online radio can only be only accessed if your TV is connected to a network through an AP or router, and an open Internet connection.

I am not able to play certain media files.

• Check that the files are in a format supported by the MGW function. Unsupported files may need to be converted before they can be played. For more details see the Specifications section for a list of supported formats.

I cannot see a playlist on my TV.

• You must make sure that the playlist is contained in a shared folder that the TV has access to. For details please refer to the eConsole User's Guide on the MGW CD.
