HI, I'M ROGER.

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.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

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 chanc_. The first four sections of the manual will get your TV 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 the TV, a quick reference guide, details on the TV GUIDE Plus+ system, advanced features, and appendices.

Well... if your TV's out of the box, let's get started. First things first.

I Check out the rLotes I've added 1

throughout the manual. I've got some

great tips that will help you get the most

from your TV.

Page 6

STEP 1

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

Important Stand Information CAUTION: Choose the location for your TV carefully. 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 tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause damage to the TV and/or personal injury.

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 recommended connection schemes for hooking up the TV to a cable box or antenna, one or two VCRs, a laserdisc player, and a satellite receiver.

"IV 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. ,

Locating the IR (infrared)

Remote Control Sensor on

Your Cable Box or VCR

The IR controlilers must be affixed directly over _IheIR remotE.=sensors on

your cable box or VCR.

Some cable boxes and VCRs label the IR sensors; others do not. If the

sensors are labeled, affix the IR controllers directly over them.

IRRemote _ensor

For those that do not label the IR sensor, you need to use the cable box

or VCR's remote to locate the sensor before affixil_g the IR controllers.

1. Hold the remote control so that it is touching the front of the cable

box or VCR.

2. Slowly move the remote over the

front of the cable box or VCR while pressing the rernote's

POWEFIbutton on and off

3. When _he cable box or VCR turns

off or on, you've located the

sensor.

You should test the IR controllers after setting up the TV GUIDE Plus+

system. Temporarily attach the IR

controllers with clear tape to the

spots where you think the sensors

are located. After determining that the controllers are working correctly, affix them permanently.

STEP 5

Turn on the TV.

Press TV 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.

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.

CARE AND CLEANING

You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

The TV'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 TV. While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen

and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.

rCaution: If fixed (non-moving) images are left on the screen for long periods, they may be permanently

imprinted on the screen. Such images include network Iogos, phone numbers, and video games. Extended

_viewing of channels displaying these images should be avoided.

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.

The following accessories are available from most

dealers and electronics supply stores in case you want

to position your components farther apart or need

additional cables.

III III II_ l!l II I III

Round 75-ohm coaxial cable

Push-on Connector

Screw-on Coaxial Connector

Flat 300-ohm twin-lead cable

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

Standard Audio/Video cable with RCA-type phono plugs (such as No. VH83)

Color-Coded Jacks

The jacks on the TV's monitor panel are color-coded for ease of use. The VIDEOjacks are yellow, the right AUDIOjacks are red, and the left AUDIOJACKSare 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 RiMONOINPUTjack.

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

S-Video cable (such as No. VH913)

Gold-Plated Jacks and Gold-Tipped Cables Gold plating helps prevent oxidation of contacts

which provides much less loss than conventional contacts. A complete line of gold-tipped cables is available to help you obtain optimum performance

from your equipment.

CREATING A GREENER FUTURE

At Thomson Consumer Electronics we are dedicated to the preservation of our

natural heritage and to a healthy and safe way of life for current and future generations. This is a global effort which encompasses every THOMSON facility throughout the world.

We believe that clean air, clean water, a protected earth, and healthy people are not

only practical and desirable goals, but achievable ones as well. Our Corporate

Environmental, Health and Safety Charter ackrowledges our commitment to protect these precious assets and provides a challenging vision and guideline for conducting

our business.

_ 1HOMSON CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

Below are a few examples of Thomson's achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources.

TH E EARTH

Thomson reclaims millions of pounds of hazardous waste annually, diverting it from landfills.

Thomson treats millions of pounds of waste water sludge annually and

renders it non-hazardous.

Thomson recycles over 50 million pounds of non-hazardous material annually that otherwise would have been treated as trash, an overall recovery rate of 50%.

Thomson globally recycles millions of

pounds of broken television picture

tube glass annually through both

internal and external reclaim processes.

THE AIR

Thomson has replaced solvent-based paints at many locations resulting in an 80% reduction in toxic air emissions for equivelant material used.

Thomson has eliminated the use of ozone-depleting substances at "television manufacturing facilities around the

world. Thomson collects and returns over 1.5

million pounds of glass and furnace dust to the glass making process annually.

Thomson has launched worldwide energy savings programs which

contribute to efforts to reduce air emissions from electrical generating

facilities.

TH E WATE R

Thomson recovers over 2 million

pounds of fine glass particles from prc,cess water each year and recycles

them back into its glass furnaces.

"l'homson's stateIof-the-art waste water treatment plants filter out over 26

million pounds of solids from process

water each year. rhomson's U.S. glass factory recycles

2,5.00 gallons of water per minute and ,:leans 2.6 million gallons of water per ,::lay.

Thomson is researching new processes

and is developing new manufacturing equipment and technologies to further reduce large vohJme water use.

Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our product,.;. For example, in the U.S. and Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks usec[ for the print on cartons and instruction booklets are soy based. For a free brochure regarding Thomson's Environmental Health and Safety

Programs, write to Thomson Consumer Electronics' address below, attention Environmental Programs: INH340.

Please do not send any products to the Indianapolis address listed in this manual or on the carton. This will only add delays in

service for your product.
