SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and
safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation
precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should
be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water

- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination
to overturn.

6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended

international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties
of its cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-

sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could
ultimately overturn the product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing elec-

tronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items
could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause
product damage and/or personal injury.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a
built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede
the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended
by the manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats
and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of
time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

appliance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits

a marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance

beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the
CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that
the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

SMART HELP

Note: In the past the

relationship between a TV
screen’s width to height, or aspect
ratio, has historically been 33%
wider than the picture screen
height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The
widescreen format of your DPTV
screen is nearly 80% greater than
its measure height (which
accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio).
The reason for the 16:9 aspect
ratio screen is that it allows for the
dramatic and lifelike viewing of
original version movies and
cinemas (similar to the type found
in your local theaters). And the
16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is
also a good visual match for how
our eyes work in a horizontally
oriented field of view and action
plane.

Parents - it isn't possible

to unlock or defeat your
Censor Code without changing to
a new code number. So if your
Code number changes, and you
didn't change it yourself, then you
will know that someone has
altered the code and the blanked
out channel has been viewed.

NOTE:Your TV left the factory with the Parental Code set to "0000". If you are using your TV and
the Parental Control for the first time, and don't want to SETUP a new Access code number, you can
use the "0000" number to block channels - see next page.
The "0711" Parental Code (shown on this page) is given as a default or way to reset the Code when
the current Access number is not known. Also, once set, the same Access Code Number will apply
for the use and operation of the Parental Control system found in both the NTSC/Analog and the

BLOCKING OPTIONS

Note: Remember that Content Advisory data or encoded
information is not available with all received TV
programming (this also includes commercials, and other
program spot announcements). Broadcaster’s can decide
not to encode any kind of content advisory ratings with
their programming, or they can actually choose to encode
programs to be “unrated.”
The TV Blocking Options allow the viewer to block any
program without content advisory data with the use of its
“NO RATING INFORMATION” control. And to block
programs that are encoded as “unrated” with its
“UNRATED PROGRAMMING” control option.

Since the reception of Content Advisory data can take a
few seconds, you may want to use the “CHANNEL
CHANGE” option to be sure no viewing is allowed during
blocked program channel changes. This can eliminate the
display of a few seconds of undesirable video on the TV,
or receiving scenes from a Ratings blocked channel
source.

SMART HELP

Note: To eliminate

sound playback through the
DPTV cabinet speakers when using
an external amplifier audio
connection you can either:

-Press the MUTE button on the

Pronto remote to eliminate sound
through the DPTV speakers

OR

-Place the FRONT SPEAKERS

switch on the rear of the DPTV
to the EXT(ernal) position,
which will also eliminate the
use of the Front External
Speaker Out connection
terminals on the DPTV.
Note: Using the Front Speakers
switch alone does not shut off all
the DPTV speakers, when they
are used as a Center Channel or
Surround sound playback source.
In such cases, you may also need
to reset additional speaker
switches on the rear of the DPTV
to completely shut the sound off
from the DPTV cabinet speakers.
See the “Internal TV Speakers
Used as Center Channel” and
“Center Channel Input Switch”
section on page 40 for details.

The System Audio Out(put) jacks send the DPTV’s current audio
(ATSC, NTSC, or Monitor) to an external amplifier for output. The
advantage of such an additional System Audio Out connection (as
shown in this diagram) is that it could continue to route the supplied
audio signals from the DPTV to an external amplifier or Pro Logic
Receiver (even when the selected program source switches between a
digital ATSC program, NTSC, or Monitor supplied source). In the case
of digital multichannel audio the DPTV downmixes the audio output to a
straight 2-channel stereo signal.

Note: For best audio reproduction and playback of Dolby Digital
surround sound through a Pro Logic Receiver (when using the
System Audio Out jacks):

• place the REAR SPEAKER DELAY control (located in the DPTV’s

ATSC Speakers Menu) to the maximum “15 feet or more” setting

• place the Center Channel Delay control (located in the DPTV’s

ATSC Speakers Menu) to the “Back 2 feet” position

A

Center Channel Input terminal

is also located on the rear of
the DPTV for additional Dolby
Digital Surround sound connection
options. This input can be used to
connect an external Dolby Digital,
or Home Theater Surround Sound,
capable Amplifier (with Center
Channel output) in order to play
Center Channel sound through the
DPTV’s internal cabinet speakers.

For example: With the use of an
external Amplifier capable of
Dolby Digital 5.1 (or Home
Theater Surround Sound) the Front
(Left/Right), Center, and Rear
(Left/Right) Surround system
speakers have their signals
supplied by the connections located
on the rear of the Amplifier.

Note: When an external
Amplifier is used as the audio

playback source for the DPTV’s
Center Channel Input terminals:

• Place the DPTV’s “INTERNAL

TV SPEAKERS USED AS
CENTER CHANNEL” switch
and the “CENTER CHANNEL
INPUT” switch to the YES
position in order for the
connection and Center Channel
speaker playback to function
properly.
These two slide switches are
used in tandem and should both
be kept in either the YES
position (when the DPTV is used
for Center Channel Input
playback), or the NO position
(when the DPTV uses its own
internal speaker system for
Surround sound purposes).

External Amplifier

(capable of Dolby Digital

5.1 or Home Theater

Reproduction)

SONY-PHILIPS DIGITAL INTERFACE FORMAT

SPDIF is the term used for ATSC
module digital audio that can be
routed to an auxiliary amplifier that
accepts such an input signal. The
DTV Digital Audio Out(put) jack
on the rear of the DPTV is for the
connection of SPDIF audio
compatible external amplifiers or
home theater equipment.

SYSTEM AUDIO OUTPUT JACKS

Note:

The Left/Right Audio Out jacks
send the current available system audio
(whether NTSC, ATSC, or Monitor) for
output to an external amplifier. In the
case of digital multichannel audio the
DPTV downmixes the audio output to a
straight 2-channel stereo signal.

routing for the DPTV’s internal
cabinet speakers and external
output speaker terminals. (See
pages 39 and 40 for further details
on the location and use of these
additional audio speaker controls.)

Center

• Delay - control allows the user to adjust center

channel speaker sound for situations where external
Left/Right speakers are in use and their relative
distance/position from the DPTV’s internal cabinet
speakers may vary. (See pages 39 and 40 for further
details on front external speakers, amplifier surround
systems, and the use of the DPTV as a source for
center channel speaker sound.)

- Front in Line - is for the speaker arrangement

where the center, left, and right speakers are
evenly lined up and roughly equidistant from the
user.

- Forward 1 foot (2 feet/ 3 feet) - settings

compensate for a center speaker being placed a
few feet

in front of the external left and right

speakers.

- Back 1 foot (2 feet) - settings compensate for a
center speaker being placed a few feet behind the
position of the external left and right speakers.

Front

• Left - control adjusts the volume level of the DPTV’s

left front internal cabinet speaker (or the Left Front
External Speakers Output terminal source on the rear
of the DPTV).

• Right - control adjusts the volume level of the

DPTV’s right front internal cabinet speaker (or the
Right Front External Speakers Output terminal
source on the rear of the DPTV).

Rear

• On/Off - control allows the user to turn the rear

surround sound signals On or Off to the Surround
External Speaker Output terminals on the rear of the
DPTV.

• Left - control adjusts the volume level of the DPTV’s

left rear surround sound speaker (as connected
through the Left Surround External Speaker Output
terminal on the rear of the DPTV).

• Right - control adjusts the volume level of the

DPTV’s right rear surround sound speaker
(as connected through the Right Surround External
Speaker Output terminal on the rear of the DPTV).

• Delay - control adjusts rear surround sound to

compensate for room size and how far the rear
surround speakers are located behind the system user
(Less than 3 feet; 3-5 feet; 5-8 feet; 8-12 feet; 12-15
feet; 15 feet or more).

Test Tone

• On/Off - allows the use of a test tone signal in order

to help set the volume levels for the individual
channel DPTV audio system speakers. (See the
following page for details on the use of the test tone
speaker adjustment process.)

Subwoofer Level

• Adjusts the volume level of a subwoofer speaker (as
connected through the Subwoofer Speaker Output
terminal on the rear of the DPTV).
Note: The DPTV’s additional Subwoofer Preamp
Output plug provides a variable line level signal
intended for an external “powered” subwoofer
capable of its own volume level adjustments.

BLOCKING OPTIONS

Note: Remember that Content Advisory data or encoded
information is not available with all received TV
programming (this also includes commercials, and other
program spot announcements). Broadcaster’s can decide
not to encode any kind of content advisory ratings with
their programming, or they can actually choose to encode
programs to be “unrated.”
The TV Blocking Options allow the viewer to block any
program without content advisory data with the use of its
“NO RATING INFORMATION” control. And to block
programs that are encoded as “unrated” with its
“UNRATED PROGRAMMING” control option.

Since the reception of Content Advisory data can take a
few seconds, you may want to use the “CHANNEL
CHANGE” option to be sure no viewing is allowed during
blocked program channel changes. This can eliminate the
display of a few seconds of undesirable video on the TV,
or receiving scenes from a Ratings blocked channel
source.

T

he Content Advisory system

also has “Blocking
Option”controls which can be
used to deny viewing access for
channel programs and movies
even when they are “unrated”, or
contain “no rating” information
as broadcasted.

TIPS IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING

• Check the DPTV power cord. Unplug the DPTV, wait 1 minute for the unit to reset,
then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again.

• Check to be sure power outlet is not on a wall switch.

• Check for proper ATSC or NTSC antenna connections on the rear of the DPTV. Are
they properly secured to the appropriate antenna plug on the DPTV?

• For ATSC Autoprogram check DTV Setup for proper Full Installation option. Use
“Without Program and System Info” selection for initial digital station programming.

• Check the SOURCE, or “ext input” control on the remote, for the correct operating
mode for the DPTV (ATSC, NTSC, Auxiliary Inputs, Monitor, etc.).

• Check the CLOSED CAPTIONS control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen.

• Check for correct battery placement and position in Pronto remote battery compartment.
Replace with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries if necessary.

• Check the Device Tab button on the Pronto remote for correct selected device (“TV” to
operate the DPTV). Refer to the separate Pronto Remote Owner’s Manual for complete
details on its operation and use.

• Press the Pronto’s “analog TV” or “DTV” touchscreen button to properly select and
send remote commands to the desired NTSC or ATSC DPTV mode of operation.

• Check the VOLUME and MUTE buttons on the DPTV and Pronto remote.

• Check the INTERNAL SPEAKERS CENTER CHANNEL INPUT switches (on rear of
DPTV) for proper position. Use the “NO” switch position for internal DPTV cabinet
speaker routing; and “YES” position when the DPTV speakers are intended as Center
Channel speakers within an external amplifier supplied Surround Sound system.

• If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections and ensure
auxiliary equipment is on and in the proper operating modes.

• Check FRONT SPEAKERS switch (on rear of DPTV). Place in INT(ernal) position for
sound playback through the DPTV’s internal speaker system. EXT(ernal) for optional
external speaker playback connections using the Front and Surround Speakers Out(put)
terminals on the DPTV.

• Check and be sure DPTV is in the proper operating mode (ATSC, NTSC, or Monitor).

• Repeat channel selection. In ATSC mode allow time for DTV channel acquisition and
display process to take place. For ATSC sub-channel selections be sure to enter the
desired four-digit channel number using the Pronto remote.

P

lease make these simple

checks before calling for
service. These tips can save you
time and money since charges for
DPTV installation and
adjustment of customer controls
are not covered under your
warranty.

Note: The DPTV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the unit off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the DPTV
back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet. This feature is NOT designed to
prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

Cleaning and Care

• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the DPTV is unplugged
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When cleaning the DPTV screen 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.

• Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which
contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed for use with the
DPTV screen. If interested, ask your dealer or call our toll-free
Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885.

• 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 cabinet
back.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near
the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet
finish.

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the DPTV
screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your DPTV is continuously used with
such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave
an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF.
Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal DPTV viewing.

GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS

57

Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the DPTV these

connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and
video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in
order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection
options.

Aspect Ratio * The proportions of a rectangular display screen. NTSC

television has a 4:3 ratio; HDTV is 16:9.

ATSC * Advanced Television Systems Committee established by the

Federal Communications Commission to set standards for digital
television.

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.

Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate

and adjust DPTV feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).

Dolby Digital * A digital 6-channel compression and surround sound

audio standard developed by Dolby Labs Inc. (also known as 5.1.)

DPTV * Digital Projection Television comprised of ATSC, NTSC, and

Monitor modules.

DTV * The broadly defined term used to describe the new digital

television system adopted by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) in December 1996.

HDTV * High Definition Television which offers approximately twice

the vertical/horizontal resolution of NTSC video, and sound quality
approaching that of compact disc. (Usually taken to mean a picture of
1920 x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.)

LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator.
Major Channel * The RF transmitted channel on which an ATSC

digital station is broadcast. (Also referred to as virtual channel.)

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the DPTV

screen that are made available for user adjustments.

MPEG * Motion Picture Experts Group and the video compression

formats devised for transmission of digital broadcasts.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard

that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

NTSC * National Television Standards Committee format devised for

TV broadcasting signals in the 1940s (525 lines; 30Hz.)

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages

generated by the DPTV to help the user with specific feature controls
(color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Pre-Amplifier * The control center of a hi-fi system. Not only

amplifies source inputs, but also allows for source selection, volume,
tone, balance and all other controls that affect the sound.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel

numbers into the DPTV’s memory circuits. In this way the DPTV
“remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and
skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

PSIP * Program and System Information Protocol.
PTV * Projection Television (Rear and/or Front projection design

systems are available.)

Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the

DPTV control panel through which infrared remote control command
signals are received.

for television broadcasts.

RGB * Red, Green, Blue color component inputs used for connection

purposes with personal computers (PCs) and other high definition video
devices.

broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the
recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language
translation for the displayed programming.)

SDTV * Standard Definition Television is a digital television

transmission, but with approximately the picture quality and aspect ratio
equivalent to NTSC video.

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is

currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the DPTV of on­screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to
“time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

Subchannel * A complete digital channel number is composed of both

a major and minor (sub-) channel number. Located within the “major”
channel’s transmitted signal the “minor” channel can be used and
selected for additional programming.

Subwoofer * A speaker designed for audio playback of only the

lowest-frequency notes (under 100 Hz.)

SVGA * Super Video Graphics Array
S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video

sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player,
etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.

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 connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals
designed into the more recent Televisions and VCRs.

Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which allows

for volume variations at the source.

VGA * Video Graphics Array
YUV * Component video signals consisting of Y luminance and

normalized color differences U and V.
