provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/N_A No. 70-

1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system instal[er's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC ]

that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particu[ar, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the/
building, as close to the point of cane entry as practical. ]

Active ControlTM continuously measures andcorrects all incom-
ing signals to help providethe best picturequality.This feature

monitors andcorrectsboth the sharpness controland noise
reduction control.

Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs,
DVDs, High Definition Receivers orotherdevices, providing

quality TV pictureand sound playback.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at

an even level. Peaks andvalleys that occurduring program

changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more
consistent, comfortable sound.

Channel Lock allows you to block the viewing of certain chan-
nels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your

children to view inappropriale materials.
Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available

channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only
active broadcast stations in the TV's memory.

AutoPicture TM allows you to change lhe picture settings (color,
tint, conlrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as
sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the
push of one button. Selections include, Personal, Rich, Natural,

Soft, Multimedia, or Eco.

AutoSound TM allows you to change to different factory pre-

defined audio settings and a personal control that you set accord-
ing to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu.

The five factory-set controls (Personal, Speech, Music, Movie,
and Multimedia) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to

enhance the particular programming you are watching.
Channel Remove allows you to delete channels from the list

stored in the TV's memory. Channel Remove makes it easy to
limit the number of channels that are available to you when you
press the Channel (+) or (-) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dia-
logue or voice conversations as onscreen text.

Dynamic Contrast helps to sharpen the picture quality by
improving the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of
the picture.

Pixel Plus TM (or Digital Processing) gives a choice of two dif-
ferent scanning techniques - Progressive Scan or Pixel Plus.

Progressive Scan doubles the number of picture lines, elimi-
nating line flicker and providing a jitter-free picture,
Pixel Plus TM improves the appearance of onscreen motion.
The number of picture lines are increased along with the
number of pixels per line, giving normal broadcast signals,
DVD reproduction or Digital TV signals, unparalleled sharp-
ness and depth. Gives the viewer near High Definition and
natural looking detail without the High Definition signal.

Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-
controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable convert-

ers, satellite receivers, etc.
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for

setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or
Spanish).

Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount
of time that you choose.

Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) chan-
nel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.

Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-

speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broad-
cast in stereo sound.

Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the chan-
nels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have pro-

grammed into the TV's Surf control through the onscreen menu).
Surf allows 2 channel surfing or 9 channel surfing.

Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF
once or daily like an alarm clock.

tion jack.
AV 1 IN - Audio/Video connection jacks

including Component Video Inputs.
AV 2 IN - Audio/Video Input connection

jacks including S-Video connections.

Cable Descriptions:

@@

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals
from an antenna or a cable TV company
to die 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 dae antenna signal lo the TV.

A S-Video cable 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 to the AV 2 Audio in jacks because
the S-Video jack carries only lhe picture
signal, not the sound.

Yellow- Video

White - Audio Left

Red - Audio Right

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 dae jacks on the TV.

These connectors are usually color coded.
The jacks on your TV are also color
coded to match the colors of the connec-

tors. Yellow for video (composite) and
Red and White for the right and left audio

channels, The video cables used to con-
nect component video or RGB (high-reso-

lution) jacks are color coded red, green,
and blue.

support digital connection from a PC.
Only Single Digital Link DVI is support-
ed for PCs with 480p or i080i output.
