HI, IM ROGER.

I wrote this manual to help you get the most from your TV. 1know 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 chance. 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 notes I've added 1

throughout the manual. I've got some great tips that will help you get the most from your TV.

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 receiven

TV ON LY

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.

CABLE, CABLE BOX, OR ANTENNA

TV Only Connection

TV WITH OTH ER COMPON ENTS

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. SeeAppendix 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.

TV GUIDE PLUS+ CONTROLLER

The TV GUIDE Plus+* controller allows direct control of a cable

box and VCR using a pair of IR (infrared) controllers.

Plug the TV GUIDE Plus+ controller into the VCR CONTROL

.jack on the back of the TV.

Affix the IR controllers directly over the IR remote sensors on your cable box and VCR.

Back of TV

Cable Box

VCR

Connect IR controllers to the infrared remote

sensors on your cable box and VCR

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.

TV GUIDE is a trademark of TV Guide Financial, Inc.

Locating the IR (infrared)

Remote Control Sensor on

Your Cable Box or VCR

The IR controllers must be affixed directly over the IR 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.

IR Remote Sensor

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 affixing the IR controllers.

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

box or VCR.

Slowly move the remote over the front of the cable box or VCR

while pressing the remote's

POWER button on and off

3. When the 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 4

Put batteries in the remote.

Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote.

Insert batteries as shown, matching the + and - ends of each battery in the compartment.

Replace the cover.

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,

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.

ONE RULE TO REMEMBER

You control and customize the TV by making changes to various control panels in the menu system. The great thing is, you only need to know one rule: point and select.

USING THE MENU SYSTEM

THE MENU RULE: POINT AND SELECT

You only need to know one rule to use the on-screen menus and

control panels: point and select.

WHAT IS POINT AND SELECT?

The point and select method has two steps.

1. Point to a menu item using the MOVE arrows on the remote.

To point up or down, press the up or down arrows. To point

left or right, press the left or right arrows.

2. Select a menu item by pressing MENU-SELECT. Selecting an item tells the TV's menu system to go ahead and

make the change or go to a place you have indicated.

For example, to select the Channel menu from the Main menu:

1. Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.

Point to Channelby pressing the down arrow until the word

Channel is highlighted.

Tip: You can also select a menu item by entering the item number with the

number buttons on the remote, Press CLEAR at any time to remove all

displays from the screen and return to TV viewing,

Many VCRuser manuals refer to a

PROGRAM button, The MENU*SELECT button on this remote works as a PROGRAM button in VCR mode. The rest of this manual refers to this

button only as MENU.

3. Press MENU to select Channel. The Channel menu comes up.

Point to Exitand press MENU to return to the Main menu. Point to Exitand press MENU to leave the menu system and

return to TV viewing. If you ever want to leave the menu system, press CLEAR.

Once you know how to point and select your way through the

menus, you can apply this rule in the control panels, which do

the real work in the menu system.

MENUS AND CONTROL PANELS

There are three parts to the menu system: menus, control panels, and the TV GUIDE Plus+ system. But before you can use control

panels or the TV GUIDE Plus+ system, 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:

1. Press MENU on the remote or front panel:

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

two ways to make a choice in a menu:

Point and select with the MOVE arrows and MENU. Press a number button on the remote. For example, in the

Main menu press 3 to go straight to the Screen menu.

Exiting a menu

There are three ways to exit a menu:

Point to Exitand press MENU. Press 0 on the remote.

Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the

screen and you are returned to TV viewing.

Feel free to explore the menu system. If you're ever unsure where you are in

the menu system, or you're just plain tired of exploring, press CLEARto

remove the menus from the screen and start over again.

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

Sliders are used to make adjustments to a particular control.

For example, to adjust the TV's contrast:

1. Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Point to Picture Quality and press MENU. The Picture Quality menu comes up.

3. Press MENU to select Basic Picture Controls.

4. Press the right or left arrow to adjust the indicator line, Notice that the picture changes as you adjust the contrast,

Now that you know how the Contrast slider works, you know how all sliders work.

You don't need to remember the |

names of the control panel types. Once you've learned how each type works, you'll be able to use any part of the menu system.

CHOICE LISTS

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.

For example, to indicate whether you're currently using a home

antenna or a cable TV signals:

1. Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Point to Channeland press MENU. The Channel menu comes up.

3. Point to Signal Type and press MENU. The Signal Type choice list comes up with the current setting highlighted. For

example:

Point to the correct setting for your connection and press

MENU. As soon as you select a choice, the TV saves your

change, and you are returned to the previous menu. Point to Exitand press MENU to return to the Main menu. Point to Exitand press MENU to return to TV viewing.

NUMERIC ENTRY

A numeric entry control panel is used to enter numbers or

letters. For example, to set the current time:

1. Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Point to Time and press MENU.

3. Point to Set Time and press MENU. The Set Time numeric

entry control panel comes up. Notice the pointer underneath the first column.

Press the up arrow to enter a number in that column. Press the right arrow to move to the next column, then press

the up or down arrow to enter a number.

Repeat Step 5 until you have entered the hour and minute

for the current time. Notice that when you reach the last column, pressing the up or down arrow changes whether the

time reads AM or PM. When you have entered the correct time, press MENU. You

are returned to the Time menu. Point to Exitand press MENU to return to the Main menu.

Point to Exitand press MENU to return to TV viewing.

If the control panel is not set at the

current time, use the left arrow to go back over the columns and the up arrow to make changes.

You can also enter numbers directly

by using the number buttons.

TV GUIDE PLUS+MENUS

The TV GUIDE Plus+ system is an interactive on-screen program guide that lists TV schedules for your area, and allows your TV direct control of a cable box and VCR. Use of the system's menus differs slightly from the point and select method described

earlier.

you are likely to see. Not all channels, programs, and TV GUIDE Plus+ infor- mation depicted will be available in your area.

Currently, program information can include title, brief description, time program starts, length, and the availability of closed captioning, stereo and additional program

information. New features and options can be

downloaded to the TV GUIDE Plus+ system, so these too are subject to

TROURLESHOOTI NG

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults" that you can correct without the help of a service technician.

If you experience any difficulty with your TV, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.

TV will not turn on

Check to make sure it is plugged in. Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is "live" by plugging in something else.

Maybe batteries in remote control are "dead." Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.

The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Front Panel Lockout in the Parental Controls menu and choosing Unlock.

Controls don't work

If using remote control, make sure remote is in TV mode by first pressing TV button. Try unplugging set for two minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on again. The front panel MENU button may be disabled. Use the remote control to turn off channel blocking. Select

Channel Block in the Parental Controls menu and choose Off.

Problems with Remote

Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.

Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) you are trying to control.

Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control TV.

Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. (Note, if you

remove the batteries, you may have reprogram the remote to control other components.)

Remove batteries and hold number 1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote.

Release number 1, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) reprogram the remote.

Remove all batteries for approximately 12 hours. Then replace batteries and (if necessary) reprogram the

remote.

Turns off while playing

Schedule function may have been activated.

Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.

TV Turns on unexpectedly

Maybe the device connected to the input,jacks is not turned on. Try another channel.

Press RESET,in case the picture controls are set too low.

No sound, picture okay

Maybe sound is muted. Try pressing volume up button to restore sound.

Maybe TV's speakers are turned off. Check the Audio Output and Speakers control panel in the Audio

menu.

If using an S-VHS component, remember to also connect the component's L and RAUDIO OUT jacks to the TV's L and R INPUT 1,jacks.

Can't select certain channel

Channel may be blocked or not approved in the Parental Controls menu.

If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR switch on the VCR is in the correct position.

Noisy stereo reception

May be a weak station. Use SOUND button to change to mono mode instead of stereo.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

Maybe the cable/air function is set to the wrong position.

Maybe a vacant channel is tuned.

If watching VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure TV istuned to channel 3 or 4 - same as CH3/4 switch on VCR. Also check to make sure TV/VCR switch on VCR is in correct position.

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.

Caution: 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.

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 R/MONOINPUTjack.

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 acknowledges our commitment to protect

these precious assets and provides a challenging vision and guideline for conducting

our business.

_ 1HOMSONCONSUMER_1C$

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

THE 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 astrash, 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 process water each year and recycles

them back into its glass furnaces.

Thomson's state-of-the-art waste water treatment plants filter out over 26

million pounds of solids from process

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

2,500 gallons of water per minute and

cleans 2.6 million gallons of water per

day.

Thomson is researching new processes

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

Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example, in the U.S. and Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks used for the print on cartons and instruction booklets are soy based. For afree 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.
