Do not put the TV in contact with vinyl or rubber products for a long period of time. Extended
contact may result in the removal of the coating or degradation of the surface.
Safety 3
Preventing Image Retention
Your plasma TV illuminates phosphor to display images, much like a conventional tube-type television. Viewing stationary images for extended periods of time results in uneven aging of the phosphor, causing grayed-out images to permanently appear on the screen.
Permanent image retention can be avoided by taking some basic precautions. Following the recommendations listed below ensures your plasma TV will have longer life and offer better performance:
Whenever possible, avoid frequently displaying stationary images, such as Web sites, computer
graphics, or video games for extended periods of time.
Display video and images in the widescreen 16:9 ratio format. Use the Aspect button on the
remote control to change from 4:3 screen size (such as standard television) to fill the screen in 16:9 ratio. This will prevent potential image retention of sidebars. Refer to “Selecting the screen aspect” on page 27.
Avoid viewing the onscreen display (OSD) menus from DVD players, VCRs, and other components
for extended periods of time.
When watching a movie from a DVD player or VCR, do not leave the same image paused
continuously over a long period of time.
Turn down the contrast and brightness of the screen. High brightness and contrast can accelerate
image retention of stationary images.
Your plasma TV has a special feature that illuminates the entire screen and can remove very minor
instances of screen image retention. See “Using the screen washing feature” on page 44 for more information.
Image retention and uneven screen aging are not covered by your HP Warranty; refer to the Warranty and Support Guide that came with your TV.
Wall Mounting or Stand Replacement
A specified technician from the distributor or authorized agent should install the TV, including stand replacement or wall mounting. Wall mounting brackets are sold separately and are not included with the TV.
Wall mounting the TV requires:
Removal of the transport handles on the back of the TV.
Removal of the stand from the TV panel.
Assembly of the wall mounting bracket and installation of the bracket onto the TV panel.
Placement and installation of the TV panel with wall bracket onto the wall.
Due to the size and weight of the TV, it is recommended that a minimum of two people move it.

Using the Remote Control
The remote control operates the TV, your cable or satellite set-top-box, your DVD/VCR, and your HP Media Center PC (HP PC). Refer to “Identifying the remote control buttons” on page 8 for information on the remote control buttons.
NOTE: Use the remote control within a distance of 16.4 feet (5 meters) from the front of the TV remote
control sensor window and at the maximum horizontal and vertical angles of 30°.
To use the remote control:
1 Press the TV, CBL/SAT, DVD/VCR, or HP.PC button to select the home entertainment component (TV,
set-top-box, DVD/VCR, or HP MCPC) to control.
2 Aim the remote control at the remote control sensor of the selected home entertainment component,
and then press the button you want to use.
52 Using the TV
Programming the remote control for component control
Programming the component code
1 Turn on the TV. Turn on the cable or satellite set-top-box, VCR, or DVD and, if applicable, insert
media (a cassette or a disc).
NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. We recommend highlighting or
writing down the codes and device you wish to program before performing step 2.
2 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT button or DVD/VCR button once. Press and hold SETUP until
the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP.
3 Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (see listing that follows) to locate the type of component by brand
name and then enter the first four-digit code for your component. If performed correctly, the red light blinks twice.
NOTE: If the red light did not blink twice, then repeat steps 2 and 3, entering the code again.
4 Aim the remote control at the component and press PWR once. The component should turn off. If it
does not respond, repeat steps 2 and 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code; see “Searching for the component code” on page 53.
NOTE: If the device does not have a power button, press PLAY.
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each component you want to control with the remote control.
Searching for the component code
If your device does not respond to the remote control after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code:
1 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT button or DVD/VCR button once. 2 Press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 3 Press the number buttons 9, 9,1. The red light blinks twice. 4 Aim the remote control at the set-top-box or the VCR or DVD and slowly alternate between pressing
PWR and the component (CBL/SAT or DVD/VCR) button. Stop when the component turns off.
NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control sends codes from its library to the selected device,
starting with the most popular code first.
5 Press SETUP once to lock in the code.
Using the TV 53
Checking the component code
If you have set up the remote control to use a component, you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your component equipment:
1 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT or DVD/VCR once. 2 Press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 3 Press the number buttons 9, 9,1. The red light blinks twice. 4 For the first digit of the code, press the number button 1 once. Wait 3 seconds, and then count the
number of times the red light blinks and write down the number.
NOTE: When you count three blinks, it means the code digit is 3. When a code digit is 0, the red
light will not blink.
5 Repeat step 4 for the three remaining digits of the code, pressing 2 for the second digit, 3 for the
third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit.
Reassigning component buttons
The remote control can be set up to control a second TV or VCR, or any combination of eight home entertainment components.
For example, to control a TV, a Cable Converter, and two VCRs, you need to re-assign a component button to operate the second VCR as follows:
1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 2 Press the number buttons 9, 9,1. The red light blinks twice. 3 Press DVD/VCR once, then press CBL/SAT once. 4 The CBL/SAT button is now ready to be programmed for your second VCR. See “Programming the
component code” on page 53.
To re-assign other device keys, repeat steps 1 through 4 by substituting the key sequence from the following table for the most popular components:
To assign Use this sequence
TV as 2nd DVD/VCR button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 — DVD/VCR - TV
TV as 2nd CBL/SAT button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 — CBL/SAT - TV
TV back to TV SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 — TV - TV
VCR as 2nd CBL/SAT button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 — CBL/SAT - VCR
VCR back to VCR SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 — VCR - VCR
CBL/SAT as 2nd VCR button SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 — VCR - CBL/SAT
CBL/SAT back to CBL/SAT SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 — CBL/SAT - CBL/SAT
When a re-assignment is done, the red light blinks twice to confirm your choice. Then, you need to program the remote control to control the new component; see “Programming the component code” on page 53.
54 Using the TV
Changing volume lock
The remote control is set to control volume of a component through your TV while in the TV, DVD/VCR, or CBL/SAT mode. However, in the HP.PC mode you have separate control of the volume.
If you want the volume to be controlled by a different component than the TV, you can change the Volume Lock setting to control volume through a non-associated mode (e.g., through the cable in the TV mode).
To change volume lock to another mode:
1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 2 Press the number buttons 9, 9, 3, and then press any mode key once (except TV). The red light will
blink twice.
3 Now, whenever you press VOL+, VOL–, or MUTE, volume is controlled by your component mode
choice.
To change volume lock back to the TV mode:
1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP. 2 Press the number buttons 9, 9, 3, and then press TV. The red light blinks twice. 3 Now, whenever you press VOL+, VOL–, or MUTE on the remote control, volume is controlled by
your TV.
Troubleshooting the remote control programming
Problem Solution
Red light does not blink when you press a key.
Red light blinks when you press a key, but home entertainment component does not respond.
Remote control does not control home entertainment components or commands are not working properly.
No volume on a 2nd TV. Follow instructions in “Changing Volume Lock.”
CH+, CH– , and CH.RTN do not work for your RCA TV.
Changing channels does not work properly.
Tried “Search Method” and still could not find a working code.
Replace the batteries with two (2) new AA non-rechargeable batteries.
Make sure the remote control is aimed at your home entertainment component and is not farther than 15 feet away.
Try all listed codes for the component brands being set up. Make sure they can be operated with an infrared remote control.
Due to RCA design (1983–1987), only the original remote control will operate these functions.
If original remote control required pressing ENTER to change channels, press ENTER on the Remote control after entering the channel number.
Try the “Search Method” again after clearing out the component button as follows: Press and hold SETUP until red light blinks twice, then release. Next enter 9 - 9 - 2. Then press and release the component button to be cleared twice.
