Remote Control: TV Functions

Operating Remote Control

Before attempting to operate either one of the remote controls, install the batteries as shown below.

Installing/Replacing Batteries

1 Turn the remote control face down. 2 Press down on the ridged area of each battery cover and slide

it off.

3 Install the batteries in the compartment as shown. 4 Replace the cover and turn remote over (face up).

Notes: Replace the batteries when the TV fails to respond to the remote control.

If you programmed the master remote to control other components, you may have to reprogram the code numbers when you change batteries. Try not to press any buttons while changing batteries.

Never place anything heavy on top of the remote control or lay it upsidedown. This may accidentally depress the buttons for a long time and discharge the batteries.

Do not mix new and used batteries or different brands of batteries.

Effective Range of Remote Controls

Aim the remote control at your TV’s remote control sensor. The remote control produces an invisible (infrared) beam that travels in a straight line much as the beam of a flashlight. For this reason, when operating the remote control, you must point it directly at the front of the TV without objects between that can block the infrared light beam.

Simplified Remote

This remote can be used to operate the basic functions of your TV.

Remote Controls: TV Functions

continued

The ProScan universal remote that came packed with your TV also controls an RCA DSS

receiver, most brands of VCRs, cable-TV boxes, and selected RCA audio equipment.

The remote is easy to use. The buttons shown below can be used to operate your TV. The rest of the buttons are used to control VCRs and cable boxes and are explained on pages 26-27, 30-31 and 41.

For added convenience, the simplified remote also lets you control the basic operation of the TV and most models of most brands of VCRs.

POWER BUTTON turns off the TV.

DISPLAY BUTTON displays time (if clock has been set) and

channel number on the TV screen. Also quickly removes menus and displays from the screen.

VOLUME BUTTONS

Press VOLUME up to increase volume, or press VOLUME down to decrease volume. The volume display will automatically appear on the screen when you press the

VOLUME buttons.

MUTE BUTTON

Press MUTE to quickly reduce sound to its minimum level without affecting the picture. This is very useful during telephone calls or other interruptions. When sound is muted, the word MUTE will appear on the screen. To restore sound, press MUTE again, or press VOLUME up.

CHANNEL BUTTONS

Press CHANNEL up to see the next higher channel in memory, or press CHANNEL down to see the next lower channel in memory. Channels 2 through 13 and 91 were programmed into the channel memory for you at the factory. Your TV will automatically program active channels for your area into memory when you start the AutoProgram feature described on page 21.

NUMBER BUTTONS let you select channels directly instead

of using the CHANNEL buttons. Always press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to select a channel. For example, press 0 then 6 for channel 6.

To select a 3-digit cable channel (like 127), press and hold number button 1 until “1 - -” appears on the screen. Then press the other two numbers. Your TV will tune up to cable channel number 128 when the CABLE/AIR function is set to CABLE. Check with your cable company to determine which channels are available in your area.

Page 11

Remote Control

ANTENNA BUTTON

Because your TV has two different antenna inputs on the back (labeled ANT A and ANT B) you can connect more than one antenna or signal source. Press the ANTENNA button to switch from one input to the other.

The color of the channel number on the screen indicates which antenna input you are watching. The channel numbers are blue for ANT A and yellow for ANT B. If the channel numbers are blue, you are watching whatever is connected to the ANT A input on the back of the TV. If the channel numbers are yellow, you are watching whatever is connected to the ANT B input on the back of the TV.

Details are on page 15.

RESET BUTTON

Resets the TV back to its original factory settings.

MOVE + AND – BUTTONS

Use the MOVE +and –buttons (called + and – in this Owner's Manual) to enter or adjust functions after you have pressed the MENU button.

PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE) BUTTON

Brings up the small picture-in-picture window. Press again to remove the PIP window. Details are on

pages 8-9.

MOVE PIP BUTTON

Moves the PIP window to the four corners of the screen.

Details are on pages 8-9.

SWAP BUTTON

Swaps the main picture with the PIP window. Details are on pages 8-9.

FREEZE BUTTON

Freezes the video in the PIP window. Details are on pages 8-9.

Important Note: Most buttons on the remote control will not control the TV unless the remote is in the “TV Mode”. If another component button (such as

VCR1) is pressed, the remote will no

longer be in the “TV Mode”. To get back into the “TV Mode”, simply press the button labeled

TV. The remote will go back into the

“TV Mode” and will control the TV again.

121113

INPUT BUTTON lets you quickly view signals from the

INPUT jacks. Pressing this button switches the TV from

its current channel directly to channel 90, then channel 91, then channel 92. Channel 90 lets you see the signals coming from a device that is connected to the S-VIDEO connector. Channel 91 accesses the INPUT 1 jacks, and channel 92 accesses the INPUT 2 jacks.

CLEAR BUTTON

Pressing CLEAR quickly clears the screen of all on-screen display messages (except mute and parental control). It is also used to cancel the Commercial Skip count-down clock and to erase channel labels.

MENU•PROG BUTTON

Press MENU•PROG (called MENU in this Owner's Manual) repeatedly until the menu you want to display is selected, then press + or –. Next press MENU repeatedly to select the function you want to adjust and then press + or – to adjust the setting. Details about using each function

begin on page 11.

[CC] CLOSED CAPTIONING BUTTON

Press [CC] repeatedly to choose among the available closed captioning modes.

TV BUTTON turns on the TV and puts remote in “TV

Mode” so that the other remote buttons will control the TV. Also displays time (if clock has been set) and channel number on the TV screen.

SKIP BUTTON

Use this button when you want to scan other channels during a commercial break. When a program break occurs, press SKIP once before changing channels. The

TV will count down 30 seconds on the screen and then automatically switch back to the original channel you were watching.

Press SKIP twice if you want the TV to count down 60 seconds. Each additional press will add another 30 seconds to the count-down time (up to five minutes) and then each additional press will add another 60 seconds to the countdown time (up to 60 minutes).

To cancel, press CLEAR. The countdown clock will disappear from the screen, and the TV will stay tuned to the channel it was on when you pressed CLEAR.

PREV CH (PREVIOUS CHANNEL) BUTTON

Pressing the PREV CH button causes the TV to change back to the last-tuned channel.

To operate, select the first channel you want to watch. Then select the other channel by pressing two number buttons. The TV will now change back and forth between the two channels each time you press the PREV

button.

Picture-in-Picture (PIP)

Starting Picture-in-Picture (PIP) 1

Connect another video source (such as a VCR or

camcorder) to INPUTS 1 or INPUTS 2 on your TV (as shown on pages 43-47).

2 Turn on TV and select the TV channel you want to watch.

3 Press the PIP button on the remote. A little picture will

appear on the screen. The little picture and the big picture will be the same.

Note: The remote must be in the “TV mode” when you press the PIP button. To put remote in “TV mode”, press the TV button.

4 To get a picture from the other source (VCR, camcorder,

etc.), first turn on the other source, and then select TV channel 90, 91, or 92 (explained at top of next column). The picture from the other source will appear in the little picture.

• If the other source is connected to the TV’s INPUT 1 jacks, select TV channel 91 to see the signal. If you have programmed the VCR1 (or VCR2•LD) button to automatically select channel 91 as described on page 23, press VCR1 (or VCR2).

• Select channel 92 if the other source is connected to the TV’s INPUT 2 jacks. If you have programmed the VCR1 (or

VCR2) button to automatically select channel 92 as

described on page 23, press VCR1 (or VCR2•LD).

• Select channel 90 if the other source is connected to the TV’s S-VIDEO connector. (Remember to also connect the regular video cable to the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack for picturein-picture viewing.) The TV automatically minimizes any annoying differences in tint between the small and large picture by electronically coupling the S-VIDEO input to the INPUT 1 input. If you have programmed the VCR1 (or VCR2•LD) button to automatically select channel 90 as described on page 23, press VCR1 (or VCR2•LD).

Changing Channels (PIP)

To change channels on the picture from the TV, press the TV button on the remote, and then press either the CHANNEL up or down button or two number buttons.

To change channels on the picture coming from the VCR, press the VCR1 or VCR2•LD button (if you’ve programmed one of these buttons to control the VCR as described on page 26) and then press either the CHAN up or down button or two number buttons. You can also change the VCR’s picture by pressing the CHANNEL buttons on the front of the VCR.

STEREO HEADPHONE JACK lets you connect an optional

headphone to enjoy private listening without disturbing others. If the plug on your headphones does not fit this jack, adapters are available from your local electronics supply store.

Custom Picture Memory for Input Channels

The channel numbers you select to see signals from components (like a VCR) that are connected to the

INPUT

jacks on the back of the TV are called input channels. Selecting channel 90 lets you see the signal coming from whatever component is attached to the

S-VIDEO connector,

channel 91 lets you see the signal from the

INPUT 1 jacks,

and channel 92 lets you see the signal from the

INPUT 2

jacks. Your TV is equipped with a custom picture memory for these input channels. When the TV is tuned to one of these channels (90, 91 ,92), you can change the picture settings for that component’s signal as desired without changing the settings of any other channel. This is very useful because you will be able to adjust for the best picture from each of your components and the TV will remember those settings automatically the next time you tune that input channel.

page 13.

EXPANDED STEREO can be turned ON or OFF by pressing + or –.

This feature adds greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. You will probably want to leave this function turned

page 14.

SPEAKERS ON/OFF lets you turn off the TV’s speakers by pressing

+ or –. You will probably want to leave the TV’s speakers turned on unless you connect an amplifier (with its own set of speakers) to the appropriate jacks on the back of the TV as described on page 46. Turning this function off, turns off not only the TV’s internal speakers but also any external or surround speakers connected to the TV’s speaker terminals. Sound will then only come through the speakers connected to the amplifier, since the TV’s speakers are turned off.

Receiving Stereo Broadcasts

Your TV is fully capable of reproducing stereo sound from TV stations transmitting stereo sound in your area. All you have to do to enjoy stereo sound is to make sure the TV’s

STEREO/SAP function is set to STEREO so the TV can receive

stereo broadcasts. Normally this function can be left in the

STEREO mode.

Your TV will then automatically reproduce either stereo or monaural sound, whichever is broadcast.

In some fringe viewing areas, however, the stereo signal may not be strong enough for quality reception. The signal may drift, or the reproduction may become noisy. Should that occur, change the

STEREO/SAP function to the MONO

mode to receive clearer, cleaner sound.

Helpful Hint: Some television stations transmit a “pilot” signal that makes your TV think it’s receiving stereo, even though the broadcast signal is monaural. The “pilot” signal will make the stereo indicator appear on the screen next to the channel number, however, you will not be able to hear stereo sound. If the stereo indicator appears but you can not hear stereo sound, check with the television station to inquire whether the program being broadcast is in stereo or monaural audio.

Resetting the Audio Function to Receive Stereo

with or without remote

1 Press the MENU button repeatedly to select the AUDIO MENU

and then press + to display the audio menu.

2 Press the

MENU button repeatedly to select the STEREO/SAP

function.

3 Press either + or – repeatedly until the word

STEREO appears at

the right.

Note: Each time you press the + or – button, the on-screen display will change from

STEREO to MONO. (The word SAP may also appear if

SAP audio is present). SAP is explained at the right.

Note: When the

STEREO/SAP function is set to the STEREO mode, your

TV will let you know when a channel is being broadcast and received in stereo by displaying the word

STEREO next to the channel number

on the screen. (Press the

TV or DISPLAY button to see the channel

number).

Receiving SAP Broadcasts

Some TV stations that broadcast stereo also broadcast another audio program called SAP. SAP stands for Second Audio Program and is sometimes used to broadcast a second audio track for a bilingual movie.

Because SAP is only available with stereo broadcasts, the TV’s

STEREO/SAP function must be in the STEREO mode to see

if SAP audio is available. After you have set the

STEREO/SAP function to the STEREO mode, your TV will

display the word

STEREO next to the channel number when

stereo audio is being received. If SAP audio is also available, your TV will display an asterisk (*) after the word

STEREO (STEREO

You can then listen to the SAP audio by changing the

STEREO/SAP function to its SAP setting as explained below.

Although SAP audio is transmitted with the stereo signal, it is not broadcast in stereo. That means the SAP audio will be monaural sound.

Your TV will reproduce SAP audio until you change channels.

Turning on SAP Channel

with or without remote control

1 Press the MENU button repeatedly to select the AUDIO MENU

and then press + to display the audio menu.

2 Repeatedly press the

MENU button until STEREO/SAP is

selected.

3 Repeatedly press either + or – until the word

SAP appears at

the right.

Notes: Each time you press the + or – button, the function will change from

STEREO to SAP to MONO (if SAP is available). If SAP is

not available, the function will change from

STEREO to MONO.

The word

SAP will appear next to the channel number when you are

listening to SAP audio. (Press the

TV or DISPLAY button to see this

display).

Expanded Stereo

Your TV includes an Expanded Stereo feature which adds greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. Your TV electronically increases the audio separation perception of the speakers so you perceive an “expanded” more spacious stereo sound effect.

Although you can easily turn the expanded stereo feature on and off as desired, you may prefer to leave it turned on. That way your TV will automatically process and expand the stereo signals whenever a stereo broadcast is received (or whenever a stereo tape is played through a stereo VCR connected to the TV’s audio/video jacks labeled

INPUT).

Because this feature expands stereo sound, it processes only stereo signals. If a TV program is broadcast in mono instead of stereo, your TV will automatically reproduce monaural audio. You will not be able to hear Expanded Stereo because expansion has no effect on monaural audio.

Stereo expansion enhances the ambience of music and program material. Dramatic effects of spatial enhancement can be experienced with music. Talk shows with background crowd noise also benefit from expansion by engulfing the listener in a wider sound field than would be experienced without expanded stereo. The effect will vary with program material.

The perception of greater stereo separation is created by cancelling the cross-coupled sound from the right speaker that arrives at the left ear (and the left speaker that arrives at the right ear). Like stereo headphones, stereo expansion isolates the left and right signals that arrive at the ears. As a result, the speakers seem to be farther away from the TV.

Notes: The Expanded Stereo feature will have no effect unless the program is broadcast in stereo.

When the Expanded Stereo feature is turned on, some sound will be heard from each speaker regardless of the

BALANCE control setting.

Resetting the Audio Function to Hear Expanded Stereo

with or without remote

1 Press the MENU button repeatedly to select the AUDIO MENU

and then press + to display the audio menu.

2 Press the

MENU button repeatedly to select the EXPAND STEREO

display.

3 Press either + or – to turn on Expanded Stereo. Each time

you press the + or – button, the on-screen display will change from

ON to OFF, etc.

To Hear Expanded Stereo

1 The STEREO/SAP function must be set to STEREO. You will not

hear expanded stereo if this function is set to

MONO or

SAP. Details are on page 13.

2 The EXPAND STEREO function

must be set to

ON. You will

not hear expanded stereo if this function is set to

OFF.

3 A stereo signal must be

present. You will not hear expanded stereo on TV programs if the TV station is broadcasting monaural audio. You can, however, hear expanded stereo if you play a stereo tape on a stereo VCR that is connected to the TV’s audio/video jacks labeled

INPUT.

Normally, you can leave the

STEREO/SAP function set to

STEREO and the EXPAND STEREO function set to ON. Your TV

will then automatically produce either expanded stereo or monaural sound, whichever is broadcast.

Parental Control

The PARENTAL CTRL and CHAN CTRL functions let you lock out any channels between 1 and 99 that you choose so they cannot be viewed by your children.

Channels that have been locked out can be viewed only when the

PARENTAL CTRL function is set to OFF. This can

only be done with the remote control–it can not be changed with the buttons on the front of the TV. Therefore, after you turn on

PARENTAL CTRL, you simply hide the remote

control so that your children can not watch the locked-out channels.

The locked-out channels will remain unviewable even if the TV is unplugged or the channels are autoprogrammed again. The only way to view locked-out channels is to use the remote control to set the

PARENTAL CTRL function to OFF.

CHAN CTRL setting will

change from

NORMAL to LOCKED when that channel is locked-

out.

Repeat step 3 for each channel you want to lock out. If the

PARENTAL CTRL function is set to ON while you are

locking out channels, each channel will go blank as you lock it out.

When the

PARENTAL CTRL function is set to ON and a channel

which has been locked out is tuned, the TV will display the words

PARENTAL CONTROL to let your children know you have

locked it out.

Note: You may want to lock out the same channels in both ANTENNA A and ANTENNA B modes. This prevents someone from moving the cable to the

ANT B input to watch channels locked out in the ANTENNA A mode.

Adding Video Input Channels to Channel Memory

with or without remote

As an added convenience, you can also add video input channels (90, 91, and 92) to memory. If you have a video device such as a VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, etc.) connected to the

S-VIDEO or INPUT jacks on the back of the TV,

you can view its signal either by directly selecting Channel 90 (for

S-VIDEO connector), Channel 91 (for INPUT 1), or Channel

92 (for

INPUT 2) with the number buttons or by adding those

channels to the Channel Memory.

Adding Channels 90, 91, and 92 to the Channel Memory allows access to the video inputs at the TV by pressing the

CHANNEL up or down buttons as well as by using the

remote control.

Remote Control Functions

VCR Channel Setup

The VCR 1 CHAN function lets you program to which channel the TV will automatically tune when you press the

VCR1

button on the remote. This is handy if you connect a VCR to your TV. You will no longer have to remember to which input jacks the VCR is connected because the TV will remember for you.

For example, if you connect a VCR’s

AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks

to the TV’s

INPUT 1 jacks (as shown on page 43), you will

no longer have to remember to select channel 91 on the TV to see what the VCR is playing. By entering channel 91 next to the

VCR 1 CHAN function, the TV will automatically

tune to channel 91 each time you press the

VCR1 button on

the remote. This function is especially convenient if you have a

compatible VCR that can be operated by the VCR1 button on the remote. Pressing

VCR1 will then not only turn on the

VCR but also automatically tune the TV to the proper channel for viewing the picture from the VCR. You can program most brands of remote-controllable VCRs to respond to the

VCR1 button as described on page 27.

The

VCR 2 CHAN function works the same way. It lets you

program to which channel the TV will automatically tune when you press the

VCR2•LD button on the remote. You can

program most brands of remote-controllable VCRs to respond to the

VCR2•LD button as described on page 27.

Pressing the

VCR2•LD button will then not only turn on the

VCR but also automatically tune the TV to the proper channel for viewing the picture from the VCR.

Changing Antenna Input

Your TV has two separate antenna inputs on the back (labeled

ANT A and ANT B) that allow you to connect two

different signal sources if desired. For example, you can connect a cable-TV system to one input and a home antenna to the other input.

By pressing the

ANTENNA button on the remote control, you

can switch back and forth between the two signal sources. Listed below are some other common uses of the two

antenna inputs:

1 Connecting a cable-TV system (or antenna) to one input and a

VCR to the other.

2 Connecting a cable-TV system (or antenna) to one input and a

video game to the other.

3 Connecting a double-trunk cable system to both inputs. 4 Connecting a cable-TV converter/decoder box that scrambles

only premium channels and cannot be controlled by remote control. Connection details are on pages 39-40.

The Channel Memory is the list of channel numbers your TV will stop on when you press the

CHANNEL up or down

buttons. Your TV provides two separate channel memories (one for

ANT A input and one for ANT B input). This allows

you to add or delete channels into each channel memory as desired.

When you use the AUTOPROGRAM function, the TV automatically checks both inputs and sets up a separate channel memory for each.

Changing Antenna Input

with remote

1 Press the ANTENNA button on the remote control to switch

from

ANT A input to ANT B input. The color of the channel

numbers will change from blue to yellow to let you know you are now watching whatever signal is connected to the

ANT B

connector on the back of the TV.

2 Press the

ANTENNA button again to switch back to ANT A. The

color of the channel numbers will change back to blue to let you know you are now watching whatever signal source is connected to the

ANT A connector.

Changing Antenna Input

without remote

1 Repeatedly press the MENU button to select SETUP MENU and

then press + to display the setup functions.

2 Repeatedly press the

MENU button to select ANTENNA: A/B.

3 Press the + or – button to change the setting. The screen

display will change from

A to B to let you know you are now

watching whatever signal is connected to the

ANT B

connector on the back of the TV.

4 Press the + or – button again to switch back to

ANT A. The

screen display will change to

Cable Box Channel Setup

The CABLE CHAN function lets you program to which channel the TV will automatically tune when you press the

DSS•CABLE button on the remote. This is handy if you have

to connect a cable box to your TV. You will no longer have to remember the output channel of the cable box because the TV will remember for you.

For example, if you connect a cable box to the TV’s

CABLE/ANTENNA connector (as shown on page 37), you will

no longer have to remember to select channel 2, 3, or 4 on the TV to see what’s coming from the cable box. By entering the cable box’s output channel (usually 02, 03, or

04) next to the

CABLE CHAN function, the TV will

automatically tune to that channel each time you press the

DSS•CABLE button on the remote.

This function is especially convenient if you have a remote-controllable cable box that can be operated by the

DSS•CABLE button on the remote as described on page 41.

Pressing the

DSS•CABLE button will then not only switch the

remote to cable mode but will also automatically tune the TV to the proper channel for viewing the picture from the cable box.

Setting Up Cable Box Channel

with or without remote

1 Repeatedly press the MENU button to select SETUP MENU and

then press + to display the setup functions.

2 Repeatedly press

MENU to select the CABLE CHAN function.

3 Enter the channel number you want to program by pressing

two digit buttons on the remote control. (The channel number you enter is the channel to which the TV will tune automatically when you later press the

DSS•CABLE button on

the remote). The TV will change to the channel you select. This will help you to confirm that it is indeed the channel you want the TV to automatically tune. Most cable boxes output their signals on either channel 02, 03, or 04.

4 Press the + button to program the channel number you

selected into the

CABLE CHAN function memory.

Note: Pressing the – button here will turn off this feature and display

CABLE CHAN: OFF again.

Controlling ProScan VCRs with Remote

The advanced ProScan universal remote controls your TV and up to two compatible Proscan VCRs or any other brands listed on page 27. The

VCR2•LD button can also

control a compatible ProScan/RCA laserdisc player. To control a compatible VCR, first press the

VCR1 or VCR2•LD

button to put the remote in the “VCR mode”. The buttons shown below will then control the VCR.

Select models of VCRs have a switch that lets you determine which VCR will be controlled by the

VCR1 button, and which VCR by the

VCR2•LD button. Other models have an on-screen menu that lets you

determine if it will be controlled by

VCR1 or VCR2•LD. Some older VCRs

have a

NORM/UNIFIED switch that can also respond to either the VCR1 or

VCR2•LD button on the remote. Place this switch in the UNIFIED position for

the VCR to respond to the

VCR1 button or in the NORM position for the

VCR2•LD button. In the NORM position, you must program the VCR2•LD

button to respond to code number 05.

The buttons shown below do not operate all functions on all VCRs. You may only be able to control your VCR’s basic functions.

Controlling VCR(s)

with Remote

Controlling Other Brands of VCRs with Remote

To program the remote to control another brand of VCR, just press and hold

VCR1 (or VCR2•LD), and enter the two-digit

code number for your brand of VCR. Depending on the age, brand, model, and type of VCR, some models may not be able to respond to the remote control.

Programming Remote To Control Other Brands of VCRs

Refer to the chart at the right to find the code number that corresponds to the brand name of your VCR. Keep this number in mind. If more than one number is listed, you may need to try each one separately until you find the one that works.

1 Press and hold VCR1 or VCR2•LD button on remote

(depending on which button you want to program for that VCR). You can program each button to control a different VCR.

2 Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to

enter the code number for your brand of VCR.

4 Release the VCR1 button and point the remote at the VCR.

Press the POWER button to test the code number. If nothing happens, try pressing VCR1 or VCR2•LD (whichever button you are programming). If the right number was entered, the VCR should turn on. If the VCR does not react to the remote, repeat steps 1 thru 4 with another code number.

Note: Some older VCRs do not have an POWER switch on their remote controls and cannot be turned on and off remotely. If you have this type of VCR, you can test the code number by pressing the

CHANNEL

button instead of the POWER button. Make sure the VCR is already turned on when you test the code number.

Operating Notes: After the remote is programmed, it will turn on the VCR whenever you press

VCR1 (or VCR2•LD) and then POWER. Some VCRs

turn on automatically when you press

VCR1 or VCR2•LD. You’ll be able to

control the VCR whenever the remote is in the “VCR mode”. To put the remote in the “VCR mode”, press the

VCR1 or VCR2•LD button (depending

on which button you programmed). The other VCR buttons (such as

PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, REWIND, FF, and RECORD) will control the VCR when

the remote is in the “VCR mode”. Pressing these function buttons may automatically switch the remote from “TV mode” to “VCR mode”. To turn off the VCR, press

VCR1 (or VCR2•LD), then POWER. To change

channels on the VCR, press

VCR1 (or VCR2•LD), then CHANNEL up or down.

This remote will control the basic functions of compatible VCRs. It will not be able to control the advanced functions of all brands of VCRs. You may have to reprogram your remote if you change its batteries.

Notes About Controlling Two VCRs

This remote can control two VCRs independently as long as each VCR operates on a different remote transmitting code.

If neither of your VCRs have switchable code capabilities, you still may be able to use the

VCR1/VCR2•LD feature to control two VCRs of the same

brand since many older VCRs use remote codes that are different than newer VCRs. You may want to experiment to see what works with your particular VCRs.

Accessory Cables

General Cable Information

Antenna (or cable-TV) connections are made with either coaxial antenna cable or twin-lead cable. Coaxial cables are shielded so they are less susceptible to hum or interference from adjacent cables.

Most audio/video connections between components can be made with shielded audio and video cables that have RCAtype phono connectors.

Color-Coded Jacks

The jacks on the TV’s monitor panel are color-coded for ease of use. The

VIDEO jacks are yellow, the right AUDIO

jacks are red, and the left AUDIO jacks are white. When connecting components to each other, be sure that you always connect left outputs to left inputs and right outputs to right inputs. If a component has only one output (mono), connect it to the

R/MONO INPUT jack.

To connect S-VHS (Super-VHS) components, an S-Video cable is required.

Gold-Plated Jacks and Gold-Tipped Cables

Your ProScan monitor panel is equipped with gold-plated jacks. The gold plating helps prevent oxidation of contacts which provides much less signal loss than conventional contacts. A complete line of gold-tipped cables is available to help you obtain optimum performance from your equipment.

The following accessories are available from most ProScan dealers and electronics supply stores in case you want to position your components farther apart or need additional cables.

Antenna Cables

Screw-on Cable attaches to the round antenna connectors (called 75-ohm F-type) on the back of your VCR or TV. The ends screw onto the connectors for a secure connection.

Push-on Cable attaches to the round antenna connectors (called 75-ohm F-type) on the back of your VCR or TV. Ends push on for a quick connection.

Audio/Video Cables

Audio/Video Cable

Shielded cable for connecting

AUDIO and VIDEO

jacks. Has an RCA-type phono plug on each end.

Monaural VCR Dubbing Cable

Double cable that lets you connect the

VIDEO and AUDIO

jacks of two VHS VCRs to duplicate tapes. Can also be used to connect a VCR to your TV. Cable is colorcoded and shielded. Has RCA-type phono plugs on each end.

Stereo VCR Dubbing Cable

Triple cable that lets you connect the

VIDEO and AUDIO

jacks of stereo components.

Stereo Audio Cable

Double gold-tipped cable generally used for connecting stereo audio components.

S-Video Cable has multipin connectors on each end for connecting S-Video components to your TV. When connecting an SVideo component to the

S-VIDEO jack on your TV,

remember to also connect the left and right audio cables to the

INPUT 1 jacks because the

S-Video cable carries only the picture, not the sound.

Wireless Headphone System PSWH100

Uses RF transmission technology freeing the user from the limits of competitive “line-of-sight” systems. Rechargeable NiCad batteries provide up to four hours of continuous operation and the convenient stand stores and recharges the headset. Volume may be controlled from the headset and the RF tuning frequency may be adjusted for optimum sound performance.

Remote Controls

These are the remote controls that came packed with your TV. Replacements or spares can be ordered as needed.

Tips Before

Connecting

Tips to Read Before Connecting Components

Compatible Components

A wide variety of compatible Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs), camcorders, laserdisc players, and audio components are available. Check with your dealer for details.

Other brands of components can also be connected to your TV. Refer to the component’s owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended hookup instructions.

Positioning Components on Shelves

To ensure the best performance from your components, follow these general guidelines when arranging them on the shelves of a component compartment.

Amplifiers, receivers, and VCRs generate heat during operation, so special care should be taken when arranging these components in the compartment. Do not stack an amplifier (or receiver) and a VCR directly on top of each other because each component generates heat and may not provide the best performance if stacked together. Do not stack other components directly on top of an amplifier, receiver, or VCR.

If you include both an amplifier (or receiver) and a VCR, put the amplifier on the top shelf and put the VCR on the bottom shelf. Leave at least four inches of clearance above the amplifier (or receiver) and at least two inches of clearance above other components.

If you have just a VCR and no amplifier (or receiver), position the VCR on the bottom shelf. Do not stack anything else directly on top of the VCR. Leave at least two inches of clearance between the VCR and the shelf above it.

Some VCRs may cause interference in TV sets if they are placed too close to the TV. The ProScan cabinets have a built-in interference barrier to help eliminate this type of interference. If you are using another type of cabinet and interference is present when using your VCR, try placing the VCR on the bottom shelf or try plugging the TV and VCR power cords into different wall sockets.

Turn Off Power Before Connecting Components

Always turn off power to all components before you connect or disconnect any cables. This will protect your components from possible electrical surges that could damage your equipment.

This is a good practice for all your audio and video components – TVs, VCRs, audio systems, computers, etc.

Plugging in Power Cords

Do not plug any power cord into a wall outlet until you are finished making connections.

Many components have “convenience outlets” on their back panels so you can plug power cords from other components into a “convenience outlet” instead of a wall outlet. Usually these outlets will be labeled either “switched” or “unswitched”.

If the outlet is labeled “switched”, that means power to the outlet will be switched off when the component’s power button is switched off.

If the outlet is labeled “unswitched”, that means power will always be available at that outlet, even when the component is turned off.

Depending on the size of your system, you may prefer to use an extension cord or a “multiple adapter” to get enough outlets for all your components.

The power cords on your ProScan components are “polarized” (one blade is wider than the other). Be sure the extension cord or multiple adapter is also polarized. The plug should fit in the outlet only one way.

Position Cables to Avoid Hum

The possibility of picking up hum (interference noise) in the audio/video cables will be reduced if you keep them away from the back of the TV. Route the cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the middle.

All cable plugs should be firmly seated in the jacks where they connect to the equipment. If a plug is not connected firmly, audio hum or smeared video may result.

If your antenna cable is flat twin-lead cable, try to keep it away from the audio/video cables as much as possible. Excess flat, twin-lead cable should be cut off instead of coiled behind the TV. Round, coaxial, antenna cable is usually shielded and can be coiled or placed next to audio/video cables without causing interference.

Position Speakers to Avoid Interference

Placing external speakers with unshielded magnets too close to the TV may result in the speaker magnets affecting the quality of the picture. Such speakers should be located at least eight inches away.

If unshielded speakers are too close to the TV, colored streaks will appear along the sides of the picture. If this happens, turn off the TV for several minutes while moving the speakers farther away. Then turn the TV back on.

The ProScan SPK060 speakers are completely shielded and can be positioned next to the TV without affecting the picture.

SELECT OUT JACKS provide fixed level audio and video

output from whatever is displayed on the TV screen (except signal from S-VIDEO connector). Provide standard audio and video signals suitable for recording. Can be used for several applications such as:

•VCR editing with two or three VCRs (page 44).

•Recording TV programs onto a camcorder (page 45).

•Recording cable-TV programs onto a VCR that is not

cable compatible (page 44).

• Recording audio onto an audio cassette tape recorder

(page 46).

Notes: Remember that the signal coming out of these jacks is whatever you see (and/or hear) on the TV screen. So, whatever you want to record must be displayed on the TV screen during recording. The small inset picture from the picture-in-picture feature and any menus (video, audio, or setup) or displays such as clock and channel that are on the screen can not be recorded.

To record from an S-VHS component connected to the

S-VIDEO

connector, you must also connect the video cable to the VIDEO

INPUT 1 jack and then select channel 91 on the TV screen.

HI-FI OUT AUDIO JACKS feed volume-controlled stereo

audio out from whatever is displayed on the TV screen. Allows connection of audio amplifier so you can adjust sound level with TV’s remote. Connection details are

on page 46.

Page 41

Right Page Text

INPUT 1 JACKS provide for direct connection of video

devices (like VCRs, camcorders, and laser disc players) or compatible home computers and TV games with video/audio outputs. To see the signals from a device connected to the INPUT 1 jacks, select TV channel 91.

EXTERNAL SPEAKER TERMINALS permit direct connection

of auxiliary speakers. Connection details are on pages 48-49.

SPEAKER SWITCH

This switch lets you turn off TV’s internal speakers so that sound will instead come through speakers connected to EXTERNAL SPEAKERS terminals.

Details about connecting speakers to the TV are on

pages 48-49.

Important: Always place switch in INTERNAL position if no external speakers are used (or if external speakers are ever disconnected).

INPUT 2 JACKS provide for direct connection of video

CABLE/ANTENNA CONNECTORS are used when attaching

either a home antenna and/or a cable-TV system to your TV. Connection details are on pages 38-40.

S-VIDEO CONNECTOR provides for direct S-VHS video

connection from S-VHS VCR or camcorder. Remember to also connect the S-VHS VCRs or camcorder’s audio jack(s) to the TV’s INPUT 1 LEFT and/or R/MONO audio jacks. This is necessary because S-Video cables only carry the super video (picture), not the audio signal.

Connection details are on pages 43-45.

To see the signals from a device connected to the S-VIDEO jacks, select TV channel 90.

Caution: When using TV games, computers, and similar products with

your TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are the result of misuse.

C. Follow this diagram if your cable company requires a converter/decoder box that cannot be controlled by remote control:

Scrambled Cable-TV Channels

Some cable-TV decoders require that you manually switch from regular to scrambled channels on the decoder whenever you wish to view the premium pay channels. By connecting the decoder to the

ANT A input and CONVERTER

output on your TV and leaving the decoder box set to the scrambled channel, you can switch between the scrambled and unscrambled channels by using the TV’

remote control.

Simply press the ANTENNA button on the remote control to switch between the scrambled and nonscrambled channels.

Each time you press the

ANTENNA button, the channel numbers

will change color on the screen to show which antenna signal you’re watching.

Nonscrambled cable channels will come through the

ANT B input

whenever the channel numbers are yellow. The scrambled channel from the decoder box will come through

the

ANT A input whenever the channel numbers are blue. Be sure

to leave the decoder box set to the scrambled channel, and remember to tune your TV to the output channel of the converter box (usually 2, 3, or 4).

All the other cable-TV channels can usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore, by using a signal splitter, you can send the incoming cable-TV signals directly to the TV and also thru the converter/decoder box and VCR as shown above.

You can easily switch between the signals coming into the

ANT A jack and the ANT B jack by pressing the ANTENNA button

on the remote control. The channel numbers will change colors to let you know which antenna signals you are watching. When the numbers are blue, you are seeing the

ANT A signals. When the numbers are yellow, you are seeing

the ANT B signals.

The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be seen whenever the TV is receiving the ANT A signals. The cable-TV channels that are scrambled can then be seen thru the converter box and then thru the VCR whenever the TV is receiving the ANT B signals. Most VCRs will feed the signal thru their antenna jacks even when the VCR is turned off. This allows you to watch scrambled channels from the converter box without having to turn on the VCR.

This connection can be useful because it will let you record a scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are watching a non-scrambled channel thru the ANT A jack on the TV.

For picture-in-picture viewing, be sure to also connect the audio/video cables from the VCR to the TV as shown on pages 43-44. The VCR must be turned on and tuned to the output channel of the cable box (usually 2, 3, or 4) for picture-in-picture viewing.

*Optional accessory available from your dealer or electronics

supply store. Mail order form is on page 33.

Note: Be sure to also connect the VCR’s AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks to the TV’s

AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks as shown on pages 43-44. The

audio/video connections are necessary for picture-in-picture viewing and for stereo playback from the VCR. To see the signals from the VCR that are going into the TV’s

INPUT jacks, select TV channel 91 if

you connected the VCR to the

INPUT 1 jacks or select channel 92 if you

connected the VCR to the

INPUT 2 jacks. Select TV channel 90 if you

have an S-VHS VCR connected to the TV’s

S-VIDEO connector.

Cable-TV Operation

Your new TV is designed to receive up to 181 channels in the U.S.A. including 125 non-scrambled cable channels (see chart at lower right). To use this TV with a cable-TV system, confirm that the cable-TV system is properly connected to your TV. Since cable systems vary, you may wish to consult your local cable-TV company for additional information.

If your cable-TV company follows EIA/NCTA channelidentification standards, most of the channels offered by your cable company will be identified by channel numbers that are identical to those on your TV. For example, if your cable-TV system has programs on cable channel 20, you can choose this channel by selecting channel 20 on your TV.

If your cable company offers cable channels 90, 91, or 92 you can tune them by selecting the TV channels shown

below.

*To tune cable channels 100 through 128, press and hold number button 1 until 1-- appears on the screen. Then enter the other two numbers.

Some cable-TV companies do not follow the EIA/NCTA standards and instead assign their own channel identification. For example, some use the standard broadcast channel numbers (2-13) for channels 2-13, but identify their other channels with letters. If your cable company does not follow the EIA/NCTA standards, ask them for a cross reference that shows to which channels you should tune your TV to receive their cable-TV channels.

Not all cable-TV channels will be active on your particular cable-TV system. Also some cable companies may require the use of a decoder with their cable-TV system. Consult your cable company or local dealer for details.

Scrambled Cable-TV Channels

Some cable companies offer “premium-pay” channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device (cable box) which is generally provided by the cable company.

How you connect the cable box to your TV depends upon whether or not the cable box can be controlled by remote control. The TV’s remote can also control most brands of cable boxes, so if your cable box is remote controllable, you will want to connect it as shown in Diagram B on page 39. Instructions for programming the TV’s remote to control the cable box are on page 41.

If your cable box cannot be controlled by remote control, you will still be able to remotely switch between a scrambled channel and unscrambled channels with the connection shown in Diagram C on page 39 or in

Diagram D on page 40.

The chart below lists the “total” broadcast (off-air) and cable channel count.

** VHF is only counted once in total channel count because you can

receive channels 2-13 on both “off-air” and “cable” channels. Therefore the total channel count for “off-air” and “cable” is 181 channels (68+125-12=181).

*** Channels 95, 96, and 97 are not applicable in Canada. Therefore

the total number of channels for Canada is 178 (68+122-12=178).

VCR Connections

Standard VHS VCR (Not S-VHS)

These connections allow you to record TV programs and play back tapes. For picture-in-picture viewing, use the preferred method.

Preferred Method

Shown here is the preferred method of connecting a VCR to your TV if you are in an area with good signal reception. This method uses a 2-way signal splitter to run separate signals to the VCR and TV. This way you can view either TV programs or VCR tapes and not be concerned about the position of the VCR’s

TV/VCR switch. If your cable

company requires a decoder box for premium channels,

refer to page 40.

Note: The audio/video connections from the VCR to the TV are required for picture-in-picture viewing and for you to watch tapes being played by the VCR.

Operation: If the VCR is connected to INPUT 1 jacks as shown, select TV channel 91 to view whatever the VCR is playing.

Simplified Method

Shown here is a simplified method of connecting a VCR to your TV. This method is best for areas with poor signal reception. If your cable company requires a decoder box for premium channels, refer to page 40.

Note: The audio/video connections from the VCR to the TV are optional; however, these additional connections usually produce a better-quality picture during VCR playback. These connections are required, however, for picture-in-picture viewing and for stereo playback from stereo VCRs.

Operation: If the VCR is connected to INPUT 1 jacks as shown, select TV channel 91 to view whatever the VCR is playing.

If you connect a second audio/video device to

INPUT 2, select TV channel 92 to view whatever

the second device is playing.

If you connect a second audio/video device to INPUT 2, select TV channel 92 to view whatever the second device is playing.

Note: You can program your TV to automatically select the proper VCR input channel (91 or 92) when you press the

VCR Connections

Special Recording onto VCR

This connection only allows you to record on the VCR whatever is currently being displayed on the TV screen except for menus and special effects. This is not a common application for recording with your VCR, but you may find it useful in certain situations. You’ll also be able to record signals from another VCR (or similar device) that is connected to the TV’s

INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 jacks.

The TV must remain turned on during recording. If you change channels on the TV, the channel change will be recorded on the VCR tape unless you pause the VCR during recording.

Because your TV is cable-compatible, this application may be used to record cable-TV programs from the TV onto a VCR that is not cable-compatible.

You may also want to use this connection to dub or edit VCR tapes with two or three VCRs. By connecting one VCR (or camcorder) to the

INPUT 1 jacks and another VCR

(or camcorder) to the

INPUT 2 jacks, you’ll be able to

selectively edit and record whatever is playing on the TV screen onto a third VCR (or camcorder) connected as shown here to the

SELECT OUT jacks.

If you connect a surveillance system to your monitor, you’ll be able to record what the camcorder is displaying on the TV screen by connecting a VCR (or camcorder) to the

SELECT OUT jacks as shown here. To see the signal from

a device connected to the

INPUT 1 jacks, select channel 91.

Select channel 92 to see the signal from a device connected to the

The speaker switch on the back of the TV changes how the TV’s amplifier drives the speakers, allowing you to use the external speakers two ways:

To enhance the sound from the TV’s speakers, place the speakers in the front of the viewing area (usually beside the TV), and slide the speaker switch to

EXT. This provides

full power to the external speakers for a “fuller” sound and turns off the TV’s internal speakers.

To obtain a “surround sound” effect, place the external speakers in the rear of the viewing area, and slide the speaker switch to

INT/EXT SURR. This provides full power to

the TV’s internal speakers for the front sound and a surround signal to the rear speakers. Do not use the SPK060 speakers for this type of setup. They are designed to be used close to the TV.

Helpful Hints: External speakers placed next to the TV will sound better the higher quality they are. Very efficient small “bookshelf” or “compact” speakers will give good results for surround-sound use.

Surround effect can often be improved by experimenting with rear speaker placement.

Surround-encoded movies (broadcast or tape) give the best surround effect, but regular stereo and mono programs will also benefit.

Connecting External Speakers

Connecting Speakers to Back of TV

If you connect an Amplifier or Receiver to your TV, you can connect the speakers to the Amplifier/Receiver instead of the TV.

If you do not connect an Amplifier or Receiver to your TV, you can connect external speakers to the back of the TV to enhance sound from the TV.

The diagram below shows how to connect external speakers to the terminals on the back of the TV.

1 If necessary, remove the vinyl covering from the ends of

the speaker wire and twist the wire core.

2 Press and hold down the lever of the speaker terminal

while inserting the wire core into the hole. Be sure to connect (+) to (+) and (–) to (–) (explained below).

3 Release the lever.

Notes: After releasing the lever, pull gently on the wire and check that it is connected securely to its terminal.

Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or contact other wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other, damage to components could result.

Important: When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you connect the (+) terminal on the TV to the (+) terminal on the speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white stripe to help you connect (+) to (+) and (–) to (–). If the (+) and (–) terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be “in phase” causing reduction in low frequencies (bass).

Caution: Do not connect external speakers to more than one audio source at a time. You can connect a set of speakers to either the TV or the amplifier but not to both at the same time. If you connect the same speakers to both the TV and the amplifier (or to more than one set of terminals), you will probably damage your equipment.

The diagram below shows how to connect external speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of a typical amplifier/receiver. Check the owner’s manual for your amplifier/receiver if its speaker terminals look different than those shown below.

Notes: After connecting speaker wire, pull it gently and check that it is connected securely to its terminals.

Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or contact other wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other, damage to components could result.

Important: When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you connect the (+) terminal on the amplifier or receiver to the (+) terminal on the speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white stripe to help you connect (+) to (+) and (–) to (–). If the (+) and (–) terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be “in phase” causing reduction in low frequencies (bass).

Tr ouble Checks

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can easily correct without the help of a service technician by first checking a few basic remedies.

Before you call or take your unit to an Authorized ProScan TV Servicenter, look below for the type of trouble you are experiencing. Then perform the simple checks and adjustments listed for that trouble.

TV will not turn on

• Check to make sure it is plugged in.

• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

• Maybe batteries in remote control are “dead”.

• Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.

• Make sure power cord is fully inserted into back of TV.

Turns off while playing

•SLEEP TIMER function may have been activated.

• ALARM OFF function may have been activated.

• ALARM ON function may have been activated.

ALARM does not turn off TV at correct time

• Check ALARM ON/OFF function. Must be set to ON.

• Maybe SPEAKER switch on back of TV is not in the INTERNAL position.

Can’t select certain channel

• Channel may not be in Channel Memory. Try pressing two number buttons.

Trouble Checks

Warranty

Noisy stereo reception

• May be a weak station. Use AUDIO button to change STEREO/SAP function to MONO mode instead of STEREO.

No picture, no sound but power light is on

• Maybe someone changed CABLE/AIR function to wrong position.

• Maybe a vacant channel is tuned.

• For Channels 90, 91, and 92, make sure the component connected to those INPUT jacks is turned on in order to see picture.

• If watching VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4 – same as CH 3/CH 4 switch on VCR. Also check to make sureTV/VCR switch on VCR is in correct position.

Sound okay, picture poor

• Check antenna connections.

• Try adjusting SHARPNESS function to improve weak signals.

Can’t get two channels for picture-in-picture

• One channel must come through ANT A or B connector and the other channel must come through the INPUT 1 or 2 jacks.

• If using the VCR1 or VCR2•LD button, make sure it is programmed to select the proper video input channel as described on page

24.

• Check position of TV/VCR switch on VCR.

• If using an S-VHS component, make sure its regular VIDEO cable is connected to INPUT 1 VIDEO jack on TV.

No picture while using picture-in-picture, with S-VHS VCR or camcorder

• If you have an S-VHS VCR or camcorder connected, you must also connect a cable from the VCR’s VIDEO OUT jack to the TV’s corresponding VIDEO INPUT 1 jack in addition to the S-VHS cable.

Small picture does not have color

• The small picture will not have color if the large picture signal does not have the color burst reference. All color signals and some black-and-white signals are sent with color burst. Try changing the channel of the big picture.

W arranty Information

Cleaning and Care

Dust the TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting attachment for your vacuum cleaner. Be sure to occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation. Take care not to scratch the plastic surfaces.

To clean the screen, wipe it with a damp, soft cloth. A very diluted, mild soap can be used on the screen if it is extremely dirty.

Because the TV’s cabinet has a textured finish, do not use furniture polish: textured finishes are porous, and using furniture polish could mar the appearance. The cabinet can be cleaned easily with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use strong cleaners, polishes, or chemicallytreated cloths to clean the screen or cabinet.

While cleaning, do not allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the instrument. Also avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of your TV.
