An S-Video cableconnects devices such as DVD players, VCRs, or camcorders to your TV. S-Video provides better picture per­formance than regular (com­posite) video connections. S-Video cables can be used only with S-Video-compatible accessory devices. You must also connect the left and right audio cables along with S-Video because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

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
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.

Component Video Input Jacks Cables used: component video or A/V with RCA-type phono plugs
Allow you to connect accessory devices such as DVD players. Separating the video into three signals, these inputs provide excellent quality. Be sure to connect the left and right audio cables, because the Y, Pb, Pr jacks receive only the picture signal.
S-Video Jacks Cable used: S-Video
Provide a higher quality picture than the Video (composite) jacks because the color part of the picture is separated from the black and white portion. Be sure to connect the left and right audio cables, because the S-Video jacks receive only the picture signal.
Video (called composite) Jacks Cable used:A/V with RCA-type phono plug
Provide better picture performance than the antenna RF input. Be sure to connect the audio cables, because the video jacks receive only the picture signal.
Audio Jacks Cables used:A/V with RCA-type phono plug
Provide sound for the video inputs. If your accessory device has only one output for audio, connect it to the left (color coded white) audio jack on the TV.
Antenna RF Jack Cables used: RF coaxial cable (75Ω)
Allows you to connect an antenna, cable TV, or components having only RF outputs to the antenna input on the TV. RF coaxial cables are available in push-on or screw-on type.
Signal Splitter
Allows you to route an antenna or cable TV signal to two inputs.
300- to 75-ohm Twin-lead Adapter
Accepts twin-lead wires from an antenna and allows connection to the antenna input on the TV. If your antenna is already equipped with an RF coaxial cable you will not need this adapter.

CONNECTING A STANDARD DVD PLAYER
C
omponent video inputs allow the highest pos-
sible color and picture resolution in the play­back of digital signals, such as those of DVD players. The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the luminance (Y) signal are connected and received separately. The result is better color bandwidth information than is possible with com­posite video (labeled VIDEO on your TV’s jack panel) or S-Video connections.
To make the connections shown in this example, you will need:
• three cables for video connections (standard
RCA connectors)
•two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV. You should be able to buy them at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
1
Connect the YPbPr (component) VIDEO OUT jacks from the DVD player
to the INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr (component video) jacks on the rear of the TV.
NOTE: The INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr jacks will accept 480i (interlaced) output sig­nals only. The connection example on this
page assumes the use of a DVD player with interlaced output. Some DVD play­ers, however, have YPbPr outputs that can be switched between interlaced and pro­gressive scan. If you are attempting to use a DVD player with progressive-scan (480p output) capability to make the connection shown in this example, you must be sure to switch the DVD player to interlaced. If necessary, refer to the DVD player’s direc­tions-for-use manual for help. If you want to use the DVD player in progressive-scan mode, you must use the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks (see page 13).
2
Connect the AUDIO OUT L(eft) and R(ight) jacks from the DVD player to the
INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear of the TV.
3
Press the AV button on the remote con­trol as many times as necessary to select
the CVI (component video input) source on the TV.
4
Tu rn the DVD player on and press PLAY to view the DVD program on the TV.
Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
•To simplify making connections, the con­nectors on audio and video cables are often color coded. The jacks on your TV are likewise color coded to match the connectors.
•The names for the component video jacks may differ depending on the DVD player or accessory digital source equipment used. For example, besides YPbPr, you may see R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Although abbreviations and terms may vary, the let­ters B and R stand for the blue and red color component signal connectors, respec­tively, and Y indicates the luminance sig­nal. If necessary, refer to the directions-for­use manual for your DVD or digital acces­sory for more information.
•You can also connect a satellite receiver to the TV in a manner similar to the example shown on this page. If you con­nect a satellite receiver to the TV, you will need to use the receiver’s channel­memorization system to store channels in the receiver’s memory.
• If you experience difficulties receiving sound with a DVD disc, check the sound settings through the DVD disc’s menu.

he following instructions explain how to con-
nect a DVD player with progressive-scan capability to the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks on your TV.
To make the connections, you will need:
• three cables for video connections (standard
RCA connectors)
•two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV. You should be able to buy them at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

rear of the DVD player to the
HD INPUT-
AV 4 G/Y, R/Pr, B/Pb jacks
on the rear of the TV.
2
Connect from the L(eft) and R(ight) AUDIO OUT jacks on the rear of the
DVD player to the HD INPUT-AV 4 AUDIO L(eft) and R(ight) jacks on the rear of the TV
.
3
Make sure the DVD player is in pro­gressive-scan mode. You will not get a
viewable picture through the HD INPUT­AV 4 jacks if the DVD player is in inter­laced mode.
For more information on placing your DVD player in progressive-scan mode, see the DVD player’s directions-for-use manu­al. Also, see the Helpful Hints to the right. The way in which progressive-scan mode is selected varies among DVD players.

Some DVD players have an I/P (interlaced/progressive scan) switch located on the back or front of the players for changing from interlaced to progressive-scan mode. Other DVD players may allow the mode to be changed by pressing a button on the DVD player’s remote control or by using the DVD player’s onscreen menu. If the interlaced/progressive-scan selection option is provided only through the DVD onscreen menu, you will need to connect the DVD player to another AV input source in addition to HD INPUT-AV 4 to see the DVD menu. Select this additional AV source on screen to see the DVD menu and choose progressive­scan mode. You will then be able to see the DVD picture through the AV4 source.
• Some DVD players have dedicated progres­sive-scan output jacks that are labeled as such and require no switching to provide a picture through the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks. See your DVD player’s directions-for-use manual for information.
• The default color-space setting for the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks is YPbPr. RGB is also an option. If the picture’s color looks grossly incorrect, try changing either the DVD player’s or TV’s color-space setting. See the DVD player’s directions-for-use manual for information on setting its color space.
