First-Time Operation

/ SafetyPrecautiOn

WARNING: o prevent fire or shock hazard, do not

expose this TV to rain or moisture.

If you suspect that liquid has entered the TV, unplug it immediately and have it inspected by an Authorized TV Servicenter. Turning it off is not enough-your TV has power applied to some circuits even when the TV is turned off.

CAUTION; TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER

(OR BACK). NO USER- SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING

TO QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSONNEL.

CAUTION: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline-operated

equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear the

UL listing mark or, if purchased and used in Canada, the CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not have been modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electric shock or fire. If

in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

Note to Cable TV Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical

Code (Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in

particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

• Your TV operates on 120 volt,;, 60 Hz AC power (normal

house power) and has a polarized AC plug. Because one

blade of the plug is wider than the other, the plug fits into the wall socket only one way. Do not defeat the safety feature of

this plug. If you need an extension cord, make sure it is polarized.

_ AUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use

the polarized plug on this TV with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless both blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

7. Adjust PICTURE TILT switches if necessary.*

Some TV models have an extra

large color picture tube. The effects of geomagnetism (Earth's magnetic field) may cause the picture to tilt slightly.

The POLARITY and STRENGTH switches on the back of the TV let you compensate for this effect. If the picture appears tilted,

follow these steps to improve it.

OFF

POLARITY STRENGTH

PURITY

CORRECTION

• Make sure the STRENGTH switch is in the OFF position

as the diagram shows.

• Move the STRENGTH switch to the LOW position. If this

improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the STRENGTH switch to the HIGH position. This should correct the situation. If moving the STRENGTH switch

makes the tilt worse, go to the next step.

• Change the position of the POLARITY switch. If this

improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the STRENGTH switch to the HIGH position. This should correct the situation.

You may need to reset the POLARITY and STRENGTH switches if the TV is moved or repositioned in the room,

especially if the TV will be facing a different direction.

Remote ControiOper fionl

Be.fore 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 o_rating 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. 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

Basic Operation Theory

Step 1 First press one of these five component buttons to tell remote

which component you want to control. You can program each of

these buttons to control most brands

of equipment.*

Step 2

Then press ON/OFF button to turn on that component.

Note: The TV and some other components will automatically turn on when you press the

component button in step 1. Press this button to turn the component off.

Step 3 These function buttons can now be

used to control the basic functions of the component you selected in step 1.

To control a different component, first press its component button (VCR1,

VCR2, CABLE, AUDIO, or TV), and then press the desired function button.

Note: Not all components have functions that can be controlled by these buttons, but you can experiment with your particular models to discover exactly which buttons will

control it.

* The TV button automatically controls your TV - no additional

programming is required. Details for programming the VCR1 and VCR2 buttons to control other brands of VCRS are on page 33. Details for programming the AUDIO button to control audio equipment are on page 37. Details for programming the CABLE button to control cable boxes are on page 28.

.....-f

Only the buttons that are used to control the TV are

described here. The rest of the buttons are used to

operate VCRs (pages 32-33), cable-TV boxes

(page 28), and audio equipment (page 27).

Custom Picture Memory for Input Channels The channel numbers you select to see signals from components

(like a VCR) thatare 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 I jacks, andchannel 92 lets you see the signal from the INPUT 2 jacks. YourTV 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 that input channel.

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. Sc,me 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 functiion 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 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 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 17.

The SRS WIDTH 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 17.

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

di,;appeared from the screen. So, if you want to adjust

the same function again, simply press the + or - button on the remote control. The last function you adjusted

will reappear on the TV screen.

The SPEAKERS function lets you turn c,ff the TV's internal speakers by pressing + or- to change the setting between ON and OFE You will probably want to leave the TV's speaker's 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 38.
