Preparation

What is Digital Television (DTV)?

Digital Television (DTV) is relatively new type of broadcasting that promises to transform television viewing into a whole new

experience. Digital technology is used to capture images and sound to deliver a better picture quality. DTV technology is also capable of multicasting and interactive capabilities.

There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are:

Standard Definition TV (SDTV) SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV can be in the traditional

(4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format.

Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV)

EDTV is better in picture quality than analog television. The formats for EDTV are 480p widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3).

EDTV is in the middle range quality between SDTV and HDTV.

High Definition TV (HDTV)

HDTV has the highest quality for digital broadcast formats. Its resolution is widescreen format (16:9). Combined with digitally

enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television.

DTV is by far a more flexible and efficient technology than the analog broadcast system. Analog broadcasts can only provide one

program at a time. Digital television can broadcast a high definition program or more than one standard definition program at the same time. This is often referred to as "multicasting". Digital television can also give you interactive video and data services through a single digital channel.

Watching Cable TV programs that don’t require the cable box

Since you’ve connected the cable TV signal directly to the TV’s tuner, you can also watch the unscrambled programs by simply tuning to the desired channel. You must first use Autoprogram, however, to store channels in the TV’s memory. See page 8.

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

AV1 :

L + R + VIDEO

& Basic connections to the TV

Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and displays the four basic DTV

picture resolution standards.

- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i (480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan) video.

- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the 1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.

Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a movie theater. Images are

much more distinct and free of flicker, and motion is smoother.

Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated High

Definition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM) signals.

HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider broadcasts

HDTV signals.

Note: Ask your broadcaster or cable box provider to transmit/enable HD content to your

home, and possibly upgrade to a CableCard for the decription of HD signals.

There are 2 ways to get HDTV content:

- via cable,

- via antenna. Note: This drawing is used wherever you can connect cable or antenna.

- Cable TV

Connect the cable TV signal to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack at the bottom

of the TV. See page 8 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note: this connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the

station you are watching.

- Cable box with

RF IN/OUT

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal to the cable

IN jack 1 on the back of

the cable box.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the

TO TV jack on the back of the

cable box to the

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack 2 at the bottom of the TV.

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack, such as

OUTPUT or OUT.

• Set the

OUTPUT CH switch 3 of the cable box to CH 3 or 4 (whichever is

correct for your cable box), then tune the TV to the corresponding channel. Once tuned, change channels at the cable box, not the TV.

Note: This connection will not supply stereo sound to the TV. The reason is that the RF output on a cable box - labeled

TO TV, OUT or OUTPUT for example - will not send a

stereo signal to the tuner (VHF/UHF) input on a TV.

- Cable box with A/V outputs

• Connect the incoming cable TV signal

1 to a signal splitter (not supplied). The signal splitter enables you to avoid having to use the TO TV jack on the back of the cable box. This jack will not supply stereo sound to the TV.

Note: Your cable box may have a different label for the TO TV jack, such as

OUTPUT or OUT.

• Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal splitter and to the

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack 2 on the TV.

• Connect another coaxial cable (not supplied) to a connector on the signal splitter and to the cable

IN jack 3 on the back of the cable box.

• Connect A/V cables (not supplied) to the

VIDEO and AUDIO L and R outputs

on the back of the cable box and to the

AV2 video (labeled VIDEO) and

AUDIO (labeled L and R) jacks 4 on the back of the TV.

• To view programs from your cable box, first press the

AV+ button on the

remote control.

• Press the cursor down or up buttons until the

AV2 signal source is selected.

• Press the

OK button to confirm your selection. The AV2 input source

becomes current for the viewing of cable TV programs through your cable box.

Note: If your cable box Audio/Video outputs will not supply video and stereo audio to

the TV, you will need to make the connection shown above in the example “Cable box with RF IN/OUT”.

First time installation

Note: The first time (and only the first time) you turn on your set you see an installation introduction screen. The Installation procedure consists of a series of screens that guide you through the process.

& After an introduction screen, you are asked to select a language of the TV’s on-screen-menus. (The text of the header and the info on screen

continuously change language.)

é Press the cursor up/down to highlight your language. “ Press the OK button. ‘ Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.

Note: Once you completed the initial installation procedure you can access the screens from the Settings menu. See p. 7.

- Cable box with S-Video, component video (YPbPr) or HDMI connectors

See Connect Accessory Devices, p. 22-23.

- Antenna

Via antenna you can watch whatever DTV programs being broadcast in your

area for free.

If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in your area, contact

your local content provider or your local electronics store retailer.

Broadcasters are in the middle of a transition from analog to digital TV. This

means that a given broadcaster will have two channels on the air, one analog and one digital.

Connect the incoming antenna signal to the

CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω

x jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 8 for details on using Autoprogram

to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note: This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the

station you are watching.

- Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)

Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels as cable systems, and often at a lower price. To get these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna outside. There are 2 main DBS systems: DirecTV & DishNetwork. These systems require separate, proprietary set top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set. These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for offair DTV broadcasts. Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the market in which you live. DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable because they are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line. DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.

é Before installing your TV or before hanging it on the wall, connect all your

accessory devices. See p. 20.

“ Refer to the bottom of the set for the correct operation voltage. Insert the power

cord in the wall socket. Consult your local dealer if your mains supply is different. To prevent damaging the mains (AC) cord which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the TV on the cord.

‘ Remote control:

Insert the 2 batteries supplied (Type R6-1,5V). Be sure the (+) and (-) ends of the

batteries line up correctly (inside of case is marked.)

Note: Digital Channel selection delay

Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital programming, the time to select and view a digital channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog channel programs). Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that must be processed before the channel selection can be displayed.

Channel tuning

Available channels:

- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM): max. from 1 to 125

- Antenna (analog NTSC or digital ATSC): max. from 2 to 69

If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV will attempt

to tune the channel and it will be added to the map.

If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear that the channel is not

available.

When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the

message Audio only.

Note: Subchannel selections

- The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control direct-acces channel number entry.

- The number of channels shown at installation includes paid channels but you may not be able to see all of them unless you sign up with cable TV operators.

Important: After the installation of the TV channels has been done, always make a selection

in the Installation menu between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels.

If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the

corresponding position.

Weak channel installation

Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen (only for Plasma Displays)

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;

• Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

• TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

• Stock market stickers: 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.

Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or

characters, etc.

Notes:

- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing

- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

If your problem is not solved

Turn your TV off and then on again once.

Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself.

Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.

Telephone number Magnavox Customer

Care Center: 1-800-705-2000

Please, have the Model and Product number which you can find at the back of your television set ready, before calling.

Care of the screen

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please

do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and color fading.

Plasma display characteristics

This Plasma display is designed to be used at altitudes up to 6562 ft above sea level (and/or local air pressure equal or above

800 hPa). Operating this set at higher altitude (lower air pressure) is possible. However, at high altitudes (or local air pressure equal or below 800 hPa) the picture on this display may become unstable and picture performance can deteriorate. In addition, the plasma display may produce a humming sound in these conditions.

These possible adverse effects relate to the altitude and are common of all plasma displays. Once the set is brought below aprox 6562 ft

(and/or local air pressure equal or above 800 hPa) its function will most likely return to normal.

Note: Transportation at high altitudes has no negative effect on the set or picture performance.

How to dispose of batteries?

The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in many areas batteries may not be disposed of

with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

VGA (Video : a common standard graphics display system for PCs. Graphics Array)

RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red Green Blue, which make up the picture. Using these signals improves picture

quality.

S-VHS signals : These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. The luminance signals Y (black and

white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape. This provides better picture quality than

with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.
