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.

When adjusting the BALANCE function, sit in your normal viewing seat while pressing the + and - buttons until the sound seems to originate from a point halfway between the speakers. Press + to increase sound from the right speaker, or press - to increase sound from the left speaker.

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.

CompatibleComponents AwidevarietyofcompatibleRCAVideoCassetteRecorders

(VCRs),camcorders,andaudiocomponentsareavailable. CheckwithyourRCAdealerfordetails.

Other brands of components can also be connected to your 'IV. Refer to the component's owner's manual for the

manufacturer's recommended hookup instructions.

Stacking Arrangements

If you are connecting several components and plan to use a

component rack, follow these general rules when arranging your

components.

',If the components are arranged horizontally, allow at least an

inch or two of space between them so air can circulate freely. This will also provide some space between the audio devices

to minimize interference.

,'If components are arranged vertically on shelves, place the

Stereo Amplifier at the top so that heated air rising from it will not pass around the other components.

, Do not block the ventilation holes in the components. If

components are placed on rugs or deep-pile mats, the ventilation holes in the bottoms may be blocked and overheating could result.

• Some VCRs may cause interference in TV's. When placing a

VCR under your TV, try to keep at least 18 inches between the bottom of the TV and the top of the VCR. If interference is

present when the VCR is used on top of the TV or at the 18-inch distance below the set, move the VCR beside the "IV.

If moving the VCR does not solve the interference problem, try plugging the VCR into a different wall socket.

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 RCA 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.

Turning 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--TV's, VCRs, audio systems, computers, etc.

Positioning 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 fiat twin-lead cable, try to keep it away from the audio/video cables as much as possible. Excess fiat,

twin-lead cable should be cut off instead of coiled behind the

'IV. Round, coaxial, antenna cable is usually shielded and can be coiled or placed next to audio/video cables without causing

interference.

Positioning 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 atleast eight

inches away.

If unshielded speakers are too close to the TV, colored streaks

will appear along the sides of the picture. Ifthis happens, turn off the "IV for several minutes while moving the speakers

fartheraway. Then turn the TV hack on.

CAUTION TO AVOID DAMAGE:

1. DO NOT CONNECT

SPEAKER OUTPUT TO A SEPARATE AMPLIFIER

OR TO SPEAKERS CONNECTED TO ANOTHER PRODUCT.

2. DO NOT CONNECT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUTS

TOGETHER.

EXTERNAL SPEAKERS Terminals-permit direct connection of auxiliary speakers. Connection details are

on page 36. CABLE/ANTENNA Connector-used when attaching

either a home antenna or a cable-TV system to your TV. Connection details are on pages 24-25.

SPEAKER Switch-when you connect additional speakers

to the E.VI'ERNAL SPEAKERS terminals on the TV,this

switch lets you optimizethe sound for the speaker location you choose.

• If you place thespeakers on each side of the TV,put

switch inEXT position. If the left side of the switch is labeled EXT, the internal audio from the TV's speakers

will be muted.

• If you place the speakers behind the viewer (at the back

of the room), put switch in INT/EXTSURR position. This maintains normal volume level of the TV's

internal speakers and a surround signal to rear speakers.

• Details about connecting speakers to the TV are on

page 36.

IMPORTANT: Always place switch in INT/EXT SURR position if no external speakers are used (or if external speakers are ever disconnected).

@ SELECT OUT Jacks-provide fixed-level audio and

video output from whatever is displayed on the TV screen (see notes below). Provide audio and video signals suitable for recording.

Can be used for several applications such as:

• VCR editing with two or three VCRs (page 29).

• recording TV programs onto a camcorder (page 32).

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

cable-ready (page 29).

• recording audio onto an audio cassette tape recorder

(page 34).

Notes

• Rememberthat whateveryouwant to recordmust be

displayed on the TV screen during recording.

• Video signals fromthe S-VIDEO connectorcan not be

recorded from the SELECTOUT VIDEOjack. To record from an S-VHS component connected to the S-VIDEO

connector, you must also connect the video cable to the

VIDEOINPUT 1jack and then select channel 91 on the TV

screen.

• On-screen displays such as menus and status displays can not

be recordedfrom this jack.

"-'S(S_@INPUT 2 Jacks-provide fordirect connection of video

Your new TV is designed to receive up Io 181 channels in the U.S.A. including

125 non-scrambled cable channels (see

(:hart below). To use this TV on 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 channel-identification

._;tandards,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 c.hannel 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.

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 may want to connect it as shown in

Diagram B on page 25. Instructions for programming the TV's remote to control

the cable box are on page 26.

If your cable box cannot be controlled by

remote control, you will still be able to remotely control "unscrambled" channels with the connection shown in

Diagram C on page 25.

Since cable systems vary, you may wish to consult your local cable company for

additional information.

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 nutaber of channels for Canada is 178 (68+122-12=178).

Shown here is the preferred method of connecting a VCR to your TV. 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. Note: When connected this way, the audio/videoconnections from the

VCR to the T'v"are required in order for you to watch tapes being played by the VCR.

Simplified Method

Operation:

• If the VCR is connected to INPUT 1jacks as shown, select

channel 91 on the TV to view whatever the VCR is playing.

• If you connect a second audio/video device to INPUT 2, select

channel 92 on the TV to view whatever the second device is playing.

Special Recording onto VCR

(This connection only allows you to record on the VCR

whatever is currently being displayed on the TV screen)

This is not a common application for recording with your VCR, but you may

find it useful in certain situations. This connection will let you record onto the

VCR _ihatever is being displayed on the

TV screen such as a TV program. You'll

also be able to record signals from another VCR (or similar device) that is

connected to the TV's INPUT 1 or 2

jacks.

The "IV must remain turned on during recording, ff 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 "IV 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

The digital remote control that came packed with your TV controls your 'IV

and up to two compatible VCRs, including most other brands.

To program the remote, just press

VCR1 (or VCR2), then ID, then the two- digit code number for your brand of VCR.

Note Aliout Controlling Two VCRs

• This remote can control two VCRs independently as long as each VCR operates

on a different remote transmitting code.

• Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCRs

have either a switch labeled VCR1/VCR2 or

an on-screen display titled REMOTE VCR1/VCR2. You can then set your new

VCR to respond to the remote's VCR2 button and your older VCR to respond to the

VCR1 button.

• Some older VCRs have aNORM/UNIFIED switch that can also respond to either the

VCR1 or VCR2 button on the remote. Place this switch in the UNIFIED position for the

VCR to respond to the VCRI button or in the

NORM position for the VCR2 button. In the NORM position, you must program the

VCR2 button to respond to code number 05.

• If neither of your VCRs have switchable

code capabilities, you still may be able to

use the VCR1/VCR2 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

particularVCRs.

-Programming Remote To Control Other Brands of VCRs

Refer to the chart below 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.

Press VCR1 or VCR2 button on remote (depending on which button

you want to program for that VCR). You can program each button to

control a different VCR. Press ID button on remote.

Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to enter the code number for your brand of VCR.

Note: Youmust pressthe two number buttonswithin three seconds of pressing

the11)button. Point the remote at the VCR and

press the OFF/ON button to test the code number. If nothing happens, try pressing VCR1 or VCR2

(whichever button you are programming).

• If the fight number was entered, the VCR should turn on.

• If the VCR does not react to the remote, repeat steps 1 thru 5 with

another code number.

Note: Some older VCRs do not have an OFF/ON 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 OFF/ON 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) and then ON/OFF. Some VCRs turn on automatically when

you press VCR1 or VCR2.

• 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 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

Caution: Do not connect external speakers to more thanone 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, you will damage your equipment.

Connecting Speakers to Back of TV

If youconnect an amplifier orreceiver to yourTV,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 TV to enhance the TWs

sound.

The diagram below shows how to connect external speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of the 'IV.

1. Remove the vinyl covering and twist the wire core.

2. Press and hold the lever down while inserting the wire core into the hole. Be sure to connect (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) as

explained in the note below.

3. Release the lever. _

Notes:

• _dter releasing the lever, pullgently onthe wire and

checkthatitisconnectedsecurelytoitsterminal.

::;,:1:.+ )um spmmerI

The speaker switch on the back of the "IV allows you to use the

external speakers two ways: ° To enhance the sound from the TV, 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. The internal audio

from the TV's speakers will be turned off.

EXT1"8"11NT/EXT

SURR

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.

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 irnproved 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 Speakers to Back of Amplifier or Receiver

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

Sound from the TV will then come through the Amplifier/Receiver and the TV's internal speakers. You can

turn off the TV's internal speakers with the SPEAKERS: ON]OFF function described on page 11.

The diagram here 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.

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 terminal. If the cores

of two wires touch each other, damage to components could result.
