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

|. Turn the remote 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.

If you programmed your remote to

control other components, you may have to reprogram the code numbers

when you change the batteries. Try not to press any buttons while changing

batteries.

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 are called 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 I jacks, and channel 92 lets you see the signal from the INPUT 2 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 thatcomponent'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 that ini3utchannel.

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 after the 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" signfil tiaat makes your TV

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 letsyou 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 14.

The audio menu will automatically disappear from the

screen if you do not press + or - within a few seconds.

Via remote control,'your TV will "remember" which function you displayed last--even after the menu has
