NOTE: Properoperation of yourTV is not dependent upon the connection of the PIPANT(enna) “B” input.The main purpose of the input is to provide an easily connected, dedicated picture source for the PIPfeature. You can, however, use the PIPANT(enna) “B” input to connect and display other signal sources such as an outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game player. Although the PIPANT(enna) “B” input can be used and swapped as the source forthe TV’s main picture, certain setup features (such as AutoChron) are based only on your TV’s detecting a signal at the ANT(enna) “A” input. To ensure that all features are operating proper­ly, you may not want to rely solely on the PIPANT(enna) “B” input as your TV’s main screen signal source.

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV 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 allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inappropriate materials.
Auto Program scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.
AutoPicture allows you to push a button and adapt your television’s picture to various types of programming, such as sports, movies, and multimedia (games), as well as to the occurrence of a weak broadcast signal.
AutoSound 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 menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular program­ming you are watching.
Bass Boost increases the low-frequency range of the TV’s sound. Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list 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 Channel Scan (+,–) but­tons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as on-screen text.
Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) can help eliminate broadcast signal noise (“speckles” in the picture).
ImageMax helps you sharpen the picture quality by making dark portions of the picture darker and lighter portions brighter.
Incredible Surround boosts the TV’s sound, making it broader and fuller. Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-controlled
devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers. On-screen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for adjusting or
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 of your
choice. Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capability
allows for viewing by antenna or cable. Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-speaker sys-
tem, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound. Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of
interest to you (the ones that you have programmed into the TV’s Surf control through the on-screen menu).
Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself on and off once or daily like an alarm clock.
Two Tuners (ANT[enna] “A” and PIPANT[enna] “B”) enable you to con­nect two different broadcast signals to your TV at once. On screen these sig­nal sources are referred to as “Tuner-A” and “Tuner-B.”
