HI, I'M MARK.

I wrote this manual to help you get the most from

your TV. I know you expect a lot from your TV, so I designed this user manual to give you the information you need.., when you need it.

READ THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS

The manual is designed to get you started quickly... and let you catch up on the details when you get a

chance.The first four sections of the manual will get yourTV up and running.You'll learn how to use the

menu system, run the interactive setup routine and

program the remote.

The rest of the manual gives you the specifics: a tour of theTV, a quick reference guide, details on StarSight, the advanced features and appendices.

Well... if yourTV's out of the box, let's get started.

First things first.

STEP I

Unpack the TV. Make sure to locate the remote control and

Connections Foldout.

Important Information: Optional Stand

CAUTION: Matching stands were designed to be used with the table

model TV included in this book. The recommended stands are provided with hardware to secure the TV to the stand so that it cannot

be easily pushed off, pulled off or tipped over. Your ProScan dealer can help you choose the appropriate stand for your TV.

If you choose not to use the stand recommended For your TV, take precautions that the stand or other furniture the TV is placed on is properly located (see Important Safeguards sheet) and of adequate size

and strength to prevent the TV from accidentally being pushed off,

pulled off or tipped over. This could cause damage to the TV and or personal injury.

Stands are not available by mail order. ]o locate your nearest ProScan dealer, call 1-800-PROSCAN.

STEP 2: CONNECTING YOUR TV

If you're only going to connect the TV to your home antenna or cable system, use the "TV Only" connection shown below. If you're going to connect the TV to a VCR, satellite receiver, DVD player or other component, look at the Connections Foldout. The Connections

Foldout details ten diagrams that are recommended for hooking up the TV to a cable box or antenna, one or two VCRs, a laserdisc player, and

a satellite receiver.

TV ONLY

This is a basic connection from an antenna or cable system to your TV. Connect the cable as shown. If you have a VCR or other components to connect to the TV, skip to the top of the next page.

TV WITH OTHER COMPONENTS

Use the Connections Foldout to connect your TV to a VCR, DVD

player, and/or satellite receiver. After connecting your TV and other components, proceed to the next step. See Appendix A for detailed

information about using each of these connections.

If your components don't match those shown on the foldout, or if you

prefer a different connection, see your dealer or specific component

user manuals.

STEP 3

Plug in the TV.

Plug the end into the wall outlet, matching the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

STEP 4

Put batteries in the remote,

Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the

remote.

Insert four AAA batteries as shown, matching the + and - ends of

each battery in the compartment.

Replace the cover.

STEP 5

Turn on the TV.

PressTV on the remote, or press POWER on the TV itself,

STEP 6

Read the next section, Using the Menu System, which is a brief

overview of the basic rules for getting around in the menus,

STEP 7

Proceed to section three, Interactive Setup. The interactive setup routine walks you through the steps needed to fully configure the TV. The first steps ask you to select your preferred language for the menu system and to begin the auto channel search, which puts available cable TV or antenna signals into the TV's memory. You can skip any of the steps and return to them later.

MENUS AND CONTROL PANELS

There are two parts to the menu system: menus and control panels. But

before you can use a control panel, you first have to move through at least one menu--the Main menu.

MENUS

The first menu is called the Main menu. To bring up the Main menu:

Menus take you to another menu or a control panel. There are two

ways to make a choice in a menu:

CONTROL PANELS

Control Panels do the work in the menu system: it's where you choose

a setting, enter a number, or adjust a level such as tint or brightness, There are three kinds of control panels: sliders, choice lists, and

numeric entry,

Sliders

Now that you know how the Contrast slider works, you know how all

sliders work.

Choice lists are used to choose a particular setting from a list of settings. The current setting in a choice list is always the highlighted

item.

antenna or a cable TV signals:
