Channel) button. Pressing this button will tog
gle between the Current and one previously
selected channel.
Page 32
(te,
'The QuadraSurf^ buttons on your remote
A. control allow you to store up to 10 chan
nels per button (40 total). This is a great fea
ture if you want to store all your favorite
Sports channels. Movie channels, or News
channels in one surf list. Family members can
have there own favorite list of channels. You
can even program the external AIV Input
jacks (Front channel) for one of the buttons
making it a “source" button for your external
accessory devices.
Assuming channels have now been added to
the four QuadraSurf^ lists (the four colored
buttons on the remote, see the previous page),
let’s review how the feature works.
Press one of the pre-programmed
COLORED buttons on the remote
(
(Red, Green, Yellow or Blue). The

first programmed channel for that surf
list.
COLORED button on the remote to
tune the second channel programmed for
that specific surf list.
Repeatedly pressing the same COL
ORED button while the “smiley” face
3
appears will tune all the programmed
channels for that specific surf list After
the last channel is tuned, pressing the
COLORED button again will return you
to the first channel in the list
If the “smiley” face disappears fi'om the
screen and the same COLORED button
is pressed, the surf channels will be dis
played starting with the FIRST pro
grammed channel again.
Repeat steps 1-3 for the other three
COLORED buttons (Surf lists) if
4
desired.
Any time the “smiley” face appears
with the channel number, pressing the
5
“frownie” face button will allow you
to remove it from the list (see the pre
vious page for more details).

Careand Cleaning
WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV
Screen:
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen
for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven
picture-tube aging.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures
that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen for
extended periods of time, or to display the same images on
screen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left
on the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be DVD
disks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digital
television boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellite
channels, and others. Here are some examples of stationary
images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounter
others in your viewing):
• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content
• Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the
TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a
TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.
• Video-game images and scoreboards
• Television station logos—^present a problem if they are
bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube
• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TV
screen
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—bright
and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on
the TV screen.
PlacementoftheTV
• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and
increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot; for example, in
direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated
back cover of the set.
Cleaning
• To avoid possible shock ha2ard, be sure the TV is unplugged
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, nonscratching duster to
keep the TV clean.
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the
screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the front
screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even,
easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge
dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap
or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the back
cover of the set.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.
35
Page 42
Glossaryof Terms
Auto Programming • The procedure of adding or deleting
channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this
way the Television “remembers” only the locally available or
desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel
numbers.
Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna wire normally matched
with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes)
directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.
Closed Caption • Broadcast standard which allows you to
read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on
screen "text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while
the TV program is in progress.
Side Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the side of the TV
these connectors (phono type plug) are used for the input of
audio and video signals. Designed for easy use with VCRs or
cameras.
On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or mes
sages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with
specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Menu • An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Quadra Surf • The feature that allows the programming of
four separate Surf lists holding up to 10 channels each.
Remote Sensor Window • A window or opening found on
the Television control panel through which infrared remote con
trol command signals are received.
Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel
number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to
clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather
than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically dis
appear from the screen).
Surf • The action of scanning specific channel in a limited
channel list.
Twin Lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the
two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and
outdoor antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna
wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to con
nect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals designed into the more
recent Televisions and VCRs.
Tuner Mode • Feature control settings made by the TV.
Designed for first time set up and use. Settings for signal con
nections (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory
are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and
moved to a new location.)
