Before attempting to operate your
remote control, install the batteries
as shown here.
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.
Your remote control is designed to
be very rugged and will withstand a
considerable drop. If it receives an
extreme blow, the case is designed
to slightly separate at the seam
rather than fracture. If this happens,
simply squeeze the case where it
separated until it snaps back
together. The operation of the
remote will probably not be affected.
--Installing/Replacing Batteries
1.Turntheremote control face
down.
2. Press down on the ridged area of
the battery cover and slide it off.
3. Install four "AAA" batteries in the
battery compartment as shown.
Make sure you insert the negative
(-) end of each battery first.
4. Replace the cover and turn remote
over-face up.
Notes:
Never place anything heavy on top of
the remote control or lay it upside-
down. This may accidentally depress
the buttons for a long time and
discharge the batteries.
Replace the batteries when the TV fails
to respond to the remote control.

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 arecalled 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 INPUT2 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'll 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 thatinput channel.

The STEREO/SAP function lets you choose either MONO (monaural),
STEREO, or SAP audio (if available) by pressing + or-. When a station is
broadcasting stereo and the STEREO/SAP function is set to STEREO, the
stereo indicator (STEREO) will appear on the screen before the channel
number. Normally you can leave the STEREO/SAP function set to
STEREO and your TV will then automatically reproduce either monaural or
stereo audio-whichever is broadcast. Some TV stations that broadcast
stereo also broadcast another sound channel called SAP (Second Audio
Program) which is sometimes used to offer the program in another
language. Your TV lets you know when SAP audio is available by
displaying an asterisk (,) on the screen "afterthe stereo indicator like this
(STEREO*). If you want to listen to the SAP channel when the asterisk
appears, change the STEREO/SAP function to its SAP setting. The SAP
setting will only appear in the function when SAP is available. Your TV
will then reproduce the SAP audio until you change channels or return the
STEREO/SAP function back to STEREO.
Note: Some TV stations transmit a "pilot" signal that makes your 'IV
think it's receiving stereo, even though the broadcast signal is monaural.
The pilot signal will make the stereo indicator (STEREO) appear on the
screen next to the channel number, however, you will not be able to hear
stereo sound. If this happens, check with the TV station to inquire whether
the program being broadcast is in true stereo or monaural audio.
The SRS: ON/OFF function lets you add greater depth and dimension to
stereo broadcasts. You can turn this function on and off as desired by
pressing + or - to change the setting between ON and OFF. You may
prefer to leave this function set to ON. Your TV will then automatically
process the stereo signals whenever a stereo broadcast is received (or
whenever a stereo tape is played through a stereo VCR that is connected to
the TV's audio/video jacks labeled INPUT). Details are on page 15.
The SRS W/DTH function lets you enhance the perceived audio separation
that occurs when the above SRS function is ON. Pressing + or- changes
the setting between NORMAL and ENHANCE. Details are on page 15.
The SPEAKERS function lets you turn off the TV's internal speakers by
pressing + or - to change the setting between ON and OFF. 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 36.

YourTVincludesafeature called
SRS (@)* (Sound Retrieval System)
which brings dimensional realism to
both stereo and mono broadcasts.
When the SRS ON/OFF function is
set to ON and the STEREO/SAP
function is set to STEREO, your TV
electronically increases the audio
separation of the speakers so you can
perceive a more spacious stereo
sound effect. If a stereo signal is not
present, you can set the SRS
ON/OFF function to its SYNTH
STEREO setting to synthesize and
process the mono signal.
When the SRS ON/OFF function is
set to ON, you can also change the
next menu item called SRS W/DTH
between NORMAL or ENHANCED.
When this function is set to
ENHANCED, the perceived audio
separation will be greater. Try both
settings and select the one you prefer
for your room acoustics.
Note: Some material (audio) will be more
affected than others.
SRS (@) allows you to hear multiple
sound sources. Audio frequencies are
processed to establish directional
cues which gives the impression that
sound is coming from all parts of the
room. External speakers are not
required, but the addition of high
quality external speakers optimizes
the sound performance of your TV.
