control panels: point and select.

remote.
To point up or down, press the up or down arrows. To point
left or right, press the left or right arrows.
2. Select a menu item by pressing MENUoPROG. Selecting an item tells the TV's menu system to go ahead
and make the change or go to a place you have indicated.
For example, to select the Channel menu from the Main menu:

Menus and Control Panels
There are two parts to the menu system: menus and control
panels. But before you can use a control panel, you first have to move through at least one menu--the Main menu.
Menus
The first menu is called the Main menu. To bring up the Main
menu:
1. Press MENU on the remote or front panel:
Menus take you to another menu or a control panel. There are two ways to make a choice in a menu:
Point and select with the MOVE arrows and MENU.

Main menu press 3 to go straight to the Screen menu.
Exiting a menu . There are three ways to exit a menu:
Point to Exit and press MENU.
Press 0 on the remote.
Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the screen and you are returned to TV viewing.
Feel free to explore the menu system.
If you're ever unsure where you are
in the menu system, or you're just
plain tired of exploring, press CLEAR
to remove the menus from the screen
and start over again.

Control Panels
Control Panels do the work in the menu system: it's where you choose a setting, enter a number, or adjust a level such as tint or brightness. There are three kinds of control panels: sliders,
choice lists, and numeric entry.
Sliders
Sliders are used to make adjustments to a particular control. For example, to adjust the TV's contrast:
1. Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.
2. Point to Picture Qualityand press MENU. The Picture
Quality menu comes up.
3. Press MENU to select Basic Picture Controls. The Picture
Controls menu comes up.
4. Press the right or left arrow to adjust the indicator line. Notice that the picture changes as you adjust the contrast.
Now that you know how the Contrast slider works, you know how all sliders work.
You don't need to remember the namesof the control panel types.
Once you've learned how each type works, you'll be able to use any part of the menu system.

Things to do before connecting components
Protect your components from power surges
Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
Always turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position cables correctly to avoid audio hum or interference
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV's
back panel instead of straight down the middle after
you connect your components.
Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them
away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly
grounded. Refer to the Safety "13pssheet packed with your TV.
Protect your components from overheating
Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
Do not stack components.
Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so
heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.

in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV's screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen.
If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These
types of cleaners will damage the TV. While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen
and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.

Screw-on Coaxial Connector
Most audio/video connections between
components can be made with shielded audio and video cables that have RCA-type phono
connectors.

phono plugs (such as No. VH83)
Color-Coded Jacks
The jacks on the TV's monitor panel are color- coded for ease ofuse. The VIDEOjacks are yellow, the right AUDIOjacks are red, and the left AUDIOJACKS are white. When connecting components to each other, be sure that you always connect left outputs to left inputs and right outputs to right inputs. If a component has only one output (mono), connect it
to the R/MONOINPUTjack. To connect S-VHS (Super-VHS) components, an
S-VHS video cable is required.

Below are a few exam pies of Thomson's achievements in our effortsto preserve our natural resources.
F=M TH
AIR
THE WATER
Thomson reclaims millions-of pounds of
hazardous waste annually, diverting it
from landfills. Thomson treats millions of pounds of
waste water sludge annually and renders
it non-hazardous.
Thomson recyclesover 50 million pounds
of non-hazardous material annuallythat otherwise would have been treated as
trash, an overall recovery rate of 50%. Thomson globally recycles millions of
pounds of broken television picture tube glassannually through both internal and
external reclaim processes.
Thomson has replaced solvent-based
paints at many locations resulting in an
80% reduction in toxic air emissions for equivelant material used.
Thomson has eliminated the useof
ozone-depletingsubstancesat television manufacturingfacilities around the
world. Thomson collectsand returnsover 1.5
million poundsof glass and furnace dustto the glassmaking process annually;
Thomson has launchedworldwide energy.savingsprograms which
contribute to efforts to reduceair emissionsfrom electricalgenerating
facilities.
Thomson recovers over 2 million pounds of fine glass particles from
process water each year and recycles them back into its glass furnaces.
Thomson's state-of-the-art waste water treatment plants filter out ovi_r 26
million pounds of solids from process
water each year.
Thomson's U.S. gLassfactoryrecycles
2,500 gallons of water per minute and
cleans 2.6 million gallons of water per
day.
Thomson is researching new processes
and is developing new manufacturing equipment and technologies to further
reduce large volume water use.
. °
Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example0 in the U.S. and
Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks used for the print on cartons and instruction booklets are soy based. For a free brochure regard!ng Thomson's Environmental Health and Safety
