Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off the IV and!or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cablesare properly grounded. Referto the Important Safety Instructions on page 1.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Don't stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the IV, route all cables down the side of the back of the 1V instead of straight down the middle of the IV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your IV carefully. Place the IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to

prevent the IV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and!or

damage the IV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on page 1.

Use Indirect Light Don't place the IV where sunlightor room lightingwill he directed toward the screen. Usesoft or indirect lighting.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-controllable component.

Note: The_/ button can't be programmed on this remote.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn the

component ON. For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ON.OFF or CH + (channel up] or CH - (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be programmed.

Programming the Remote Thereare two ways to program the remote control:

* automatic code search * direct entry

Using Automatic Code Search The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. If you

want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.}

Pressand hold the component button you want to program (VCR1, DVD, etc.}. While holding the component button, press and hold ONoOFE until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both

buttons. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY,then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on

the remote stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component

you want to operate does not turn off, press PlAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes.

There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PlAY 20 times, then

the remote can't be programmed to operate that component.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Pressand releaseREVERSE,then wait 2 seconds.Repeatthis step until the device turns back ON.

2. To finish, pressand hold STOPuntil the indicator on the remote turns off.

I. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and code number(s)for the component on the code list in this section.

3. Point the remote at the component.

4. Pressand hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

5. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following pages.If the indicator flashes,you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn't programmable.

6. Release the component button, and then press ON*OFFto see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and then ON*OFFagain.

* If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the

component responds to the remote commands.

* If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search

method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code, the remote is not compatible with your

component.

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (IV,DVD,VCR,satellite receiver, etc.} it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the IV, you would press the IV button to put the remote into IV mode before you

could control the IV.

1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD,IV, VCR1,VCR2, SAT*CABLE,AUX)to set the remote to control the component.

2. PressON*OFFto turn the component ON or OFE

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Regional Coding

Both the WIDVD unit and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes don't match, the

disc won't play. This unit's code is region 1.

Using Different Menus

Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate menu paths that you can use to access features: * The Disc menu - The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD's menu system. The contents of each disc menu vary according

to how the disc was authored and what features are included. The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the DISC MENU button on the remote.

• The DVD's Info Display - The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It's turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote.

• The DVD's menu system - The DVD's menu system is accessed only when a disc isn't playing. It appears when the STOP button is pressed.

A feature only works if the disc was programmed with that feature. If a menu item is "grayed out" it means that item isn't available.

Loading and Playing Discs

Your W/DVD unit plays DVD discs, Video CD discs, Audio CD discs, MP3 discs and CD-R discs. Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible

with the player. The following discs CANNOT be used with this player:

• Laserdises, CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-RW, DVD-ROM, Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)

This isan example of a one_sideddisc,

To Load and Play a Disc TOput the WIDVD in DVDmode and play a disc, pressthe DVDbutton on the remote control.

I. Pressthe OPEN,CLOSEbutton on the front of the IVIDVD. Thedisc tray opens.

2. Placea discgently into the tray with the disc'slabel facing up (double-sided discs havecontent on both sides,soyou can place either side up).

3. Pressthe OPEN,CLOSEor PLAYbutton. Thedisc tray closes.

TheWIDVD readsthe disc'stable of contents, and then one of three things happens depending on how

the discwas programmed:

• Thedisc starts playing.

This is an example of a 2-sided disc. The

title is in the center.

• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc play. Highlight that option and press OK on the remote.

• The DVD's main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the Playoption and press OK on the remote.

When you stop playing a disc, the unit remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the disc again, the unit picks up where you left off unless the disc is removed, the unit is unplugged, or you pressed the STOP

button twice.

Using a Disc Menu

A disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from the DVD's menu system and on-screen Info Display. The disc menu might only contain a list of the titles and chapters, or it may allow you to change features such as language and playback settings.

The content and operation of disc menus vary from disc to disc.

Using the On-Screen Info Display

The on-screen Info Display contains many playback features. To see the Info Display, press the INFO button on the remote while a disc is playing. The

Info Display appears across the top of the screen. Each feature is illustrated with an icon. Use the left/right arrow buttons on the remote to move

through the different icons in the Info Display. When an icon is highlighted, use the upldown arrow buttons on the remote to scroll through the choices displayed in the text box under the icons.

Remember, you can only access the Info Display when you're playing a disc. Also, the Info Display features are only available if the disc was created with that particular feature (i.e., if you select the Subtitle icon, you won't be able to change the subtitle language unless the author of the disc

created the disc with subtitles). The invalid symbol i_ appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn't have any function. If one of the icons is "grayed out," that Info

Display feature isn'l_ agailable for the disc you're playing. To make the Info Display disappear from the screen, press INFO on the remote.

Using the TV's Features

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside your IV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block IV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view.

How V-Chip Works

V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (IV-MA, 1V-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the

rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message This channelis not approved for viewing.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age- based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated," and programs that are considered "unrated." The IV age- based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the following table.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV]DVD before cleaning. You can clean the IV/DVD as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. 8e sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

The IV/DVD's screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of

cleaners will damage the lV]DVD. While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the IV/DVD. Also, avoid placing drinks or

vases with water on top of the IV/DVD. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the IV/DVD. Caution: Using video games or any external accessory with fixed images for extended periods of time can cause them to be permanently imprinted on

the picture tube (or projection IV picture tubes). ALSO,some network/program logos, phone numbers, etc. may cause similar damage. This damage is

not covered by your warranty.

Handling Cautions

* Before connecting other components to this _/DVD, be sure to turn all components off. * Don't move the IV/DVD while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the IV/DVD's internal parts may be damaged.

* Don't put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the W/DVD. * 8e careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.

* Don't place anything other than the disc in the disc tray. * Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this playen If this occurs, turn the TV/DVD off and on

again with the ON*OFF button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The IV/DVD will operate normally.

* 8e sure to remove the disc and turn off the W/DVD after use.

Formation of Condensation

* Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the _/DVD. * When condensation forms inside the TV/DVD, it may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the TV/DVD at room temperature until the inside of

the disc tray becomes dry and operational.

* If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
