FEATURES
Your new projection television and its packaging contain materials
that can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials and
minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed. The batteries used by your product should not be thrown away when
depleted but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemical waste. Please find out about the local regulations concerning
how to dispose of your old television, batteries, and packaging
materials whenever it is time to replace them.
End-of-life Disposal
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.
