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
materials whenever it is time to replace them.
End-of-life Disposal
Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming
signals to provide the best picture settings. This feature provides a
sharp and virtually noise-free picture any time, from any NTSC
source. NTSC is the
National Television Standards Committee format devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals
(525 lines: 30 Hz).
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) works with
the set’s Automatic Format feature to prevent screen burn left by
nonmoving images. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your
television picture in very small increments, but in increments large
enough to blur image retention. APAC is like a screen saver for
your TV.
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.
AutoPicture™ allows you to push a button and adapt your TV’s
picture to various types of programs, such as sports, movies, and
multimedia (games).
AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set controls
and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the on-screen 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.
AutoSurf™ allows you to easily switch among only the channels
that are of interest to you. You can program up to 10 channels into
the TV’s AutoSurf™ memory through the on-screen display.
Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or
voice conversations as on-screen text.
Virtual Dolby* Surround (referred to as “Dolby Virtual”in the
on-screen submenu) uses two speakers to simulate the surround
effect produced by a multichannel system.
Dynamic 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.
Eye Fidelity 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.
HD DVI and Component Inputs—DVI supports High-definition
Copy Protected digital video input for connection to compliant settop boxes. The component connection (Y Pb Pr or RGB +HV)
offers color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise.
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.
Home-cinema universal remote control operates your TV set and
other devices that work by infrared remote control, such as VCRs,
cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, and others. Note: You
may need to program the remote to work with devices other than
the TV. See pages 18–23.
Incredible Surround™ enhances stereo programs by making the
sound broader and fuller.
Multipoint Digital Convergence (35 point) brings the accuracy of
digital technology for flawless convergence of red, green, and blue
tubes. This allows the viewer to adjust as preferred to create a
superb picture with minimized colored haloes.
On-screen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or
set those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or
Spanish).
Program List displays a list of your favorite channels at the press
of a button. You can scroll through the list, highlight a favorite
channel, and tune to the channel.
Protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticular screen. This protective filter has been formulated for HD displays to give the best picture and still protect your
investment.
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, as well as advanced capability for high-definition video.
Three-line digital 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.
Two-tunerPicture-in-picture (PIP) allows you to tune to a program in the main window and scan other channels in the PIP window. From a single antenna or cable input, signals are separated
into two signals within the television, so no external splitter is
required for PIP. The AV1, AV2, and AV3 inputs are also available
as PIP sources.

DVI Jack
Cable used: DVI
Allows encrypted transmissions of uncompressed HD content.
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

:HIGH-DEFINITION INPUTS
What You Can Connect to the
High-definition Input Jacks
1
HD INPUT-AV 4—use to connect digital equipment with a 1080i or a 480p
signal output, such as HD receivers
(1080i or 480p) or DVD players with
progressive-scan capability (480p). You
can connect equipment with YPbPr
component video or RGB outputs to
the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks. H and V
sync connections may or may not be
required for RGB connections. (See
page 59.) Dedicated audio input jacks
are located with the HD INPUT-AV 4
video jacks.
NOTE: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
feature is not available for use with AV 4.
2
HD INPUT-AV 5—use to connect digital equipment with DVI (digital video
interface) 1080i or 480p output. DVI is
a specific digital input allowing
encrypted transmission of uncompressed HD content. DVI includes
HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content
protection), which is supported by the
motion picture industry, satellite
providers, and most of the consumer
electronics industry. DVI is gaining
momentum and quickly becoming an
industry standard for the consumer to
view high-definition material while
keeping content protected.
NOTE: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
feature is not available for use with AV5.
• The TV’s default color-space setting for HD
INPUT-AV 4 is YPbPr. If the picture looks
grossly incorrect, try changing the color-space
setting on either the digital equipment or the
TV. For more information on setting the color
space on the digital equipment, see the equipment’s directions-for-use manual. To set the
TV’s color space, see page 59 in this manual.
• This television is designed to be compatible
with high-definition signal standards 1080i
and 480p as specified by the Electronic
Industries Association standard EIA770.3.
Because output standards may vary by manufacturer, you may encounter some digital
equipment that will not properly display pictures on the TV.
• The PIP (Picture-in-picture) feature
allows
you to tune to a program in the main window
and scan other channels in the PIP window.
From a single antenna or cable input, signals
are separated into two signals within the television. The A V1, AV2, and AV3 inputs are
also available as PIP sources.

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-type phono plugs)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA-type phono plugs).
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 back 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 AUDIOOUT L(eft) and
R(ight) jacks from the DVD player to
the INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the
back of the TV.
3

• T o simplify making connections, the plugs on
audio and video cables are often color coded.
The jacks on your TV are likewise color
coded to match the plugs.
• 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 Band R
stand for the blue and red color component
signals, respectively, and Yindicates the luminance signal. If necessary, refer to the directions-for-use 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
channel-memorization 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.
• The CVI source cannot be displayed in the
PIP window. See page 7 in the Quick Use and
Setup Guide for more on the PIP feature.

T
he S(uper)-Video connection on the back
(and side panel) of the TV can give you better
picture detail and clarity for the playback of SVHS VCR tapes or DVDs than the normal antenna (RF signal) or Video (composite) picture connections. The example given connects a
DVD/VCR Combi unit to the INPUT-AV 2 jacks
on the back of the TV.
NOTE: The accessory device must have an
S-VIDEO output jack to make the connection
explained on this page.
To make the connections, you will need:
• one S-Video cable
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA-type phono plugs).
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 S-VIDEO OUT jack on the
back of the accessory device with
S-VIDEO output to the INPUT-AV 2
S-VIDEO jack on the back of the TV.
2
Connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT
jacks on the back of the accessory
device to the INPUT-AV 2 AUDIO input
jacks on the back of the TV.
3
Press the AV button on the remote control as many times as necessary to select
the AV2 source on the TV.
4
Turn the accessory device on and press
play to view the video source material
(DVD or videotape, for example) on
the TV.
CONNECTING AN S-V
IDEO DEVICE
• To simplify making connections, audio
cables are often color coded: red for the
right channel, and white for the left channel. The jacks on your TV are likewise
color coded to match the plugs. To make
S-Video connections, you must use an
S-Video cable.
• You can also connect a satellite receiver,
laser-disc player, video-game player, or
other accessory device with S-Video
capability 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
channel-memorization system to store
channels in the receiver’s memory.
HELPFUL HINTS
Video sources that show a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen can cause picture-tube damage. When you are not using
your video accessory devices, turn them off.
Also, regularly alternate the use of accessory
video sources with normal TV viewing. See
page 60.

CONNECTING AN HD R
ECEIVER TO THE HD INPUT-AV 4 JACKS
• HD receivers will supply stereo sound to the TV only through the audio
left and right cables, not through the coaxial cable.
• Making a standard connection along with the HD connection as shown
in the example (S-VIDEO) on this page will allow you to see the receiver’s on-screen menu and a picture (valid signal) from the receiver should
it be switched to SD mode.
• The HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks are for standard RCA-type phono plugs.
Your HD receiver may use RCA or BNC output jacks. If your HD
receiver comes with BNC jacks, you will need to purchase BNC-toRCA adapters to connect the receiver to the TV. You should be able to
purchase these adapters at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can
call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
• The HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks are compatible with some digital equipment
having RGB outputs with “sync on green” or RGB with “separate H and V
sync.” Output standards for digital equipment, however, may vary by manufacturer. No industry standards have been established for HD television RGB
signal systems, timing, synchronization, and signal strengths. If the digital
equipment you want to connect to your TV offers both component video and
RGB outputs, component video is the suggested connection to use.
• The default color-space setting for the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks is YPbPr.
RGB is also an option. If the picture color looks grossly incorrect, try
changing either the receiver’s or TV’s color space. See the receiver’s
directions-for-use manual for information on setting its color space. Or
see page 59 in this manual for setting the TV’s AV4 color space.
• AV4 and AV5 do not function with the PIP feature. They cannot be displayed in the PIP window, nor can the PIP window be displayed when
those signal sources are being viewed on the main screen.

PROGRAMMING THE
TV REMOTE TO WORK ACCESSORY DEVICES
Y
our TV remote is capable of working not
only your TV but also other infrared
remote (IR) controlled accessory devices
such as VCRs, cable TV converter boxes,
satellite receivers, DVD players, and laserdisc players.
If you want to use your TV remote to operate a VCR or other accessory devices, you
will need to perform the initial check
explained in this section. You may also need
to go to the sections on the “Code-entry
Method” and the “Search Method” in the
pages that follow.
1
Press the VCR orACC(essory)
mode button on the TV remote for
the desired product category.
NOTE: Pressing the VCR mode button
allows access to product codes for
VCRs. Pressing the ACC(essory) mode
button allows access to the product
codes for cable TV converters, satellite
receivers, DVD players, and laser-disc
players.
2
Point the TV remote toward the
desired accessory device and press
the POWER button.
Does the remote turn the accessory
device on?
If yes, stop and try other function but-
tons on the TV remote. With a VCR,
for example, try the Play, Stop, and
Rewind buttons, for example. (See
page 23 for information on how the
remote buttons correspond with accessory device functions.) If they also
work the accessory device, then the
remote is ready and no further steps
are needed.
If not, do the following:
Look up a four-digit remote code
number on pages 21 or 22 for your
brand of accessory device. Then go
through the simple steps for entering a
four-digit code as explained on
page 19.
Using the Remote Control
If more than one four-digit code number is
listed, you may have to try more than the
first number given to locate your component’s correct code.

will retain the first four digits entered.
• If the procedure explained above does not
work the first time, repeat the steps using
the same remote code number.
• If after a second try the remote does not
operate your accessory device, and more
code numbers are listed for your brand,
use the next listed code number.
• If after repeated attempts the Entry-code
Method does not allow you to work your
accessory device with your TV remote, try
the Search Method explained on the next
page.

USING THE S
EARCH METHOD TO PROGRAM YOUR TV REMOTE
Y
our TV remote can be set to work various
accessory devices (VCRs, cable converters, and satellite receivers, for example) by
what is called the Search Method.
NOTE: The Search Method works only with
devices equipped with channel-display indicators on the devices themselves or the ability to show channel numbers on the TV
screen. If the Code-entry Method (shown in
the previous section) did not enable your TV
remote to work your accessory device, then
follow the easy steps listed below. Please
read the steps once before performing them.
1
Turn on the desired device. Press
and hold down the VCR orACC
(for an accessory device other than
a VCR) mode button on the TV
remote. Then press and hold down
the SURF button as you hold down
the desired mode (VCR or ACC) button.
NOTE: For correct operation, you
must press and hold down the desired
mode (VCR or ACC) button first and
then press and hold down the SURF
button second.
While holding down the SURF and
the desired mode (VCR orACC)
buttons simultaneously, point the
remote toward the accessory device
and continue holding the buttons
down.
2
Watch the Channel Indicator on
your accessory device. Channel num-
bers will scan up when the TV remote
has identified the correct code for
your accessory device. This may take
several minutes.
3
Release the mode (VCR or ACC)
and SURF buttons as soon as channel numbers start to scan up. The
scanning means that your TV remote
has found the code for your accessory
device.
NOTE:
If no channel change happens
after several minutes, repeat steps 1 and
2. Then if a channel change still does not
occur, the remote will not work with the
desired accessory device.
Using the Remote Control
• The remote’s back light will blink
as the remote moves through its
product code list. After the remote
identifies the product code for
your accessory device and you
release the remote buttons, the
back light will blink twice.
• Your TVremote may locate the
accessory device’s code quickly or
within several minutes.
• Don’t let the accessory device
scan up more than five channels
when the correct code is found—
the remote may pass up the right
code and have to repeat the search
cycle.
