Picture

SmartPicture™

A touch of the SMART button on the remote control provides the option of selecting one of four factory preset positions to enhance enjoyment of video games, sports, movies or weak signals. Select the desired option and all important picture elements are instantly adjusted to optimize viewing pleasure.

25" Dark Glass Picture Tube

Our standard dark glass picture tube combines an advanced electron gun design, 36% transmission dark glass faceplate, black matrix, specially tinted phosphors and a 100˚ deflection angle to provide greater contrast ratio than ever before in a standard tube–as well as offering a higher degree of picture sharpness, fine focus, bright detail, and color picture clarity.

Black Stretch

Special circuitry has been incorporated into this television receiver to enhance the darker portions of the picture for added realism and overall picture quality.

Remote Control

Universal TV/VCR/Cable Remote

Controls all features and functions of this monitor/receiver with direct menu access plus activates exclusive SmartSound and SmartPicture options. In addition, this remote controls all important operating features and functions of virtually all infrared VCRs, and on/off and CHANNEL ▲▼ on most cable converter/decoders. (Remote #Y227JA-AA)

Convenience

Surf™

Eliminates the frustration of trying to remember what channels had programs of interest while channel surfing. After establishing the Surf™ configuration with the user-friendly menu, the viewer can store up to eight stations in the Surf™ memory and then surf only those channels at the touch of a button.

SmartMute™

An audio mute advancement that automatically activates closed captioning when the MUTE button is pressed. Now dialogue and narratives (on Closed Caption telecasts) can be displayed on screen whenever the MUTE button is pressed, without the aid of an optional, external decoding device.

Easy First Time Setup

This friendly, useful, smart, and easy feature is available the first time this TV is turned on with a signal connected. SETUP can be accessed through the main onscreen menu offering language selection (English, Spanish, or French) and auto program (automatically selecting and storing all available CATV and/or ANTENNA channels in the tuner memory).

Onscreen Clock with Sleep Timer

The correct time appears on screen for a few seconds whenever channels are changed or the STATUS button on the remote control is pushed. The Sleep Timer automatically turns off the TV at a preset time of up to 120 minutes from the time the feature is activated. Sleep timer settings are programmed in 15-minute increments.

Trilingual Onscreen Display

Onscreen displays assist in selecting preferred picture performance levels, choice of regular or cable viewing source, and indicate the activation of special features. Displays may be put on screen in English, Spanish, or French.

Auto Programming

When activated, this feature automatically scans all available channels–from regular antenna or cable–and programs only active broadcast stations into memory. CHANNEL ▲ or CHANNEL ▼ buttons, on the remote or at the set, will then sequence through only those preprogrammed channels.

Closed Caption Onscreen Volume Bar

Sound

SmartSound™

When activated, SmartSound™ keeps volume levels constant between programs and commercials, and from one channel to another. SmartSound™ constantly monitors the audio signal, reducing a signal that’s too loud and increasing a signal that’s too weak.

dbx

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System

The stereo sound system built into this monitor/receiver incorporates an MTS/SAP decoder which permits reception and reproduction of broadcast stereo television programs, as well as Second Audio Program transmissions (where available). dbx®noise reduction eliminates hiss and high-frequency interference from the stereo sound reproduction.
