Adjusting the sound

You can customize all of your television's sound functions using a
pair of buttons: you select a function with the AUDIO button, then

you adjust the function with the ADJUST button. You use the
ADJUST button to:

• select a position (e.g., stereo),

• increase or decrease the function (e.g., bass), or

• shift from one end of a scale to the other (e.g., balance).

When you adjust a function, an on-screen display will indicate the
function and level you've selected.

what you will adjust

"Listen to: Stereo/SAP/Mono" allows you to change the audio recep-
tion mode to stereo, separate audio programming (S.A.P.), or mon-

aural (mono), depending on the type of broadcast you are receiving.

As you select the reception mode, remember the following:

• The "Stereo" setting allows you to receive both mono and stereo
broadcasts.

_>Important:

The separate audio programming ("S.A.P.") setting offers you the
option of listening to either of two separa_;e audio programs. For
example, a station may broadcast news, weather, or a foreign

language soundtrack on the S.A.P. pro_Fam (in addition to its

standard soundtrack).

The "Mono" setting reduces unwanted background noise when a

stereo broadcast is coming in weak. When you use the "Mono"
setting, you will hear the broadcast in monaural even when the

broadcast signal is in stereo.

An on-screen display appears when programs are broadcast in
stereo or when separate audio programming (S.A.P.) is available.

"Bass" controls the volume of low fkequency sound.

"Treble" controls the volume of high frequency sound.

"Balance" adjusts the level of sound between the left and right
speakers.

"Audio expansion: On/Off' creates a stereo effect with non-stereo
stations or non-stereo external sources.

Adjusting the picture

You can customize all of your television's picture functions using a

pair of buttons: you select a function with the VIDEO button, then
you adjust the function with the ADJUST button. You use the.

ADJUST button to:

• shift from one end of a scale to the other (e.g., tint),

• increase or decrease the function (e.g., color),

• select a position (e.g., closed captioning).

When you adjust a function, an on-screen display will indicate the
function and level you've selected.

what you will adjust

"Tint" adjusts the proportion of red to green that determines the
delicate tones of color.

"Color" determines the intensity of the color.

"Contrast" controls the level of white-to-black in the picture.

"Brightness" controls the light level of the image on screen.

"Sharpness" adjusts the detail and clarity of the picture.

Getting Started 57

Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts.

There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:

"standard" and "text." Standard captioning is related to the
program that is being shown and usually follows the dialogue of the
characters on-.screen. Text captioning does _._otrelate to the pro-
gram being shown, often containing information such as weather or
news, and it can block your view of the program you are watching.

Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals

and four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.

To

use the closed caption decoder:

You can choose to display one of four "standard captioning" signals

(indicated by [_ and a number), to display one of four "text

captioning" signals (indicated by the word "Text" and a number), to

display captions "when muting," or to turn tlhe captions off.

If you select "When muting," the standard captioning signal ([_ 1)
will appear whenever you use the MUTE button.

uses for closed captioning

Closed captioning can be used in many ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign language, and

• using the television without disturbing others.

DImportant:

If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep Jn

mind that not all broadcasters, video tapes, or laserdiscs supply

closed caption signals.

Closed captions might not appear if you are playing a video tape

that is worn or old.
