You will see the best picture if you sit directly in front of the TV about 10-18 feet from the screen. Picture brightness will decrease if you sit to the extreme left or right of the TV.

Your Projection TV is designed to provide a watchable picture when viewed within the full 160° horizontal viewing area.

During daylight hours, you may also see some reflection on the screen from exterior light sources. If so, you may wish to use drapes or screens to reduce reflection or consider a different placement of the TV.

CAUTION: Inadequate or poor ventilation may cause overheating, damage, or the risk of Are hazard.

This projection TV is equipped with ventilation openings in the cabinet back and bottom to allow heat generated during operation to be released. Inadequate air flow to these openings may result in failures due to overheating, damage to your TV, and the risk of fire hazard.

When locating and installing your projection television receiver, read and carefully follow the instructions contained in the “Installation” section in the enclosed safety pamphlet.

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. 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 upsidedown. 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. Tty 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 1 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 chaimels. AVhen the TV is mned 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

mne that input channel.

Your projection TV has three color projection tubes-one for red, one for green, and one for blue. When mixed together in the proper proportion, the output of these three color tubes can produce many colors. To produce

these colors, however, the beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture beams is called setting the “convergence”.

Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the TV. If you move your

TV or if, after a time, you notice

colored rings or halos around objects

in the picture, you may want to converge (align) the colors.

To simplify convergence, an on screen menu is provided that ahows you to display a test pattern of four lines on the screen. Properly converged, the lines appear white-which is actually a combination of the outputs of the three color tubes. The position of the green lines is stationary. The positions of the red and blue lines are adjustable. When properly adjusted, the red and blue lines should lie directly over the green lines to

produce single white lines.

Converging (Aligning) the Colors

-(with remote only)-------------------------------------

1. Turn on the TV and select a channel that is active in your area. Allow the TV to operate at least ten minutes before converging.

2. Repeatedly press the VIDEO button until the CONVERGENCE function is

selected.

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” signal that makes your TV thinV 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 automaticaUy 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 audio menu will automatically disappear from the screen if you do not press + or — within a few seconds.

Yia remote control, your TV will “remember” which function you displayed last-even after the menu has disappeared 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 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 SPE/iKERS 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 speidcers) to'the appropriate jacks on the back of the TV as described on page 43.

Your TV includes a feature 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 WIDTH between

NORMJYL ox 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 estabhsh 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.

• An active channel may be missed occasionally if its signal is very weak or if the channel happens to be “off the air” when the TV is autoprogrammed.

• An inactive chaimel may be included in the channel memory if there happens to be some sort of “noise” or “stray signal” on the channel when the TV is autoprogrammed.

• Signals from other components coimected to the INPUT jacks can not be autoprogrammed. Chaimel 91 (which accesses INPUT 1 jacks) was added to the channel memory at the factory and will remain in the channel memory until you erase it Chaimel 92 (INPUT 2) and Channel 90 (S-VIDEO connector) can be added to channel memory if desired.

• Only channels 1-99 can be stored in channel memory.

CHAN up and down buttons as well as

by using the remote control.

INPUT 2 jacks) with the number buttons

on the remote or by adding those channels to the channel memory.

Your TV has two separate antenna

inputs on the back (labeled AA/T A

and ANT B) that allow you to connect

two different signal sources if desired. For example, you can connect a cable-TV system to one input and a home antenna to the other input.

By changing the ANTENNA: A/B display in the SETUP menu, you can

switch back and forth between the two signal sources.

Listed below are some other common uses of the two antenna inputs:

• connecting a cable-TV system (or antenna) to one input and a VCR to the other.

• connecting a cable-TV system (or antenna) to one input and a video game to the other.

• connecting a double-trunk cable system to both inputs.

• connecting a cable-TV conveiter/decoder box that scrambles only premium chaimels. Connection details are on pages 31-32.

• connecting a cable-TV system to one input and an antenna (VHF/UHF) to the other. This allows you to tune in local stations that are not included on your cable system. Remember to

change the CABLE/AIR function as

described on page 18 if using your set like this.

The Channel Memory is the list of channels yoiu: TV will stop on when you press the buttons. Your TV provides two separate Channel Memories-one for

CHAN up or down

ANT A input and one for ANT B

input. This allows you to add or delete channels into each channel memory as desired.

When you use \h& AUTOPROGRAM

The VCR 1 CHAN function lets you

program to which channel the TV

will automatically tune when you

press the VCRl button on the remote.

This is handy if you connect a VCR to your TV. You will no longer have to remember to which input jacks the VCR is connected because the TV will remember for you.

For example, if you connect a VCR’s

AUDIO/VIDEO Oi/TJacks to the

TV’s INPUT 1 jacks (as shown on

page 35), you will no longer have to remember to select channel 91 on the TV to see what the VCR is playing.

By entering channel 91 next to the

VCR 1 CHAN function, the TV will

automatically tune to channel 91

each time you press the VCRl button

on the remote.

This function is especially convenient if you have a compatible VCR that can be operated by the

VCRl button on the remote. Pressing VCRl will then not only turn on the

VCR but also automatically tune the

TV to the proper channel for viewing

the picture from the VCR. You can program most brands of remotecontrollable VCRs to respond to the

VCRl button as described on

page 38.

The VCR 2 CHAN function works

the same way. It lets .you program to which channel the TV will automatically tune when you press

the VCR2»LD button on the remote.

You can program most brands of remote-controllable VCRs to respond

to the VCR2»LD button as described on page 38. Pressing the VCR2*LD

button will then not only turn on the

VCR but also automatically tune the

TV to the proper channel for viewing the picture from the VCR.

Note: Pressing the VCRl or VCRl'LD button does not change between ANT A and

ANT B antenna inputs. Press the ANTENNA

button on the remote control to change antenna inputs if necessary.

Compatible Components

A wide variety of compatible RCA Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs), camcorders, and audio components are available. Check with your RCA dealer for details.

Other brands of components can also be connected to your TV. 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 fix)m 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 TVs. 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 heside the TV.

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.

Tbrning 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-TVs, VCRs, audio systems, computers, etc.

Positioning Cables to Avoid Hum

The possibility of picking up hum (interference noise) in the

audio/video cables wiU be reduced if you keep them away fix>m 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 flat twin-lead cable, try to keep it away from the audio/video cables as much as possible. Excess flat, twin-lead cable should be cut off instead of coiled behind the TV. 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 at least eight inches away.

If unshielded speakers are too close to the TV, colored streaks will appear along the sides of the picture. If this happens, turn off the TV for several minutes while moving the speakers farther away. Then turn the TV back on.

EXTERNAL SPEAKERS Terminals-permit direct

connection of auxiliary speakers. Connection details are

on page 41.

@ CABLE/ANTENNA Connectors-used when attaching

either a home antenna or a cable-TV system to your TV. Connection details are on pages 30-32.

(£) SPEAKER Switch-when you connect additional speakers

to the EXTERNAL SPEAKERS terminals on the TV, this

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

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

switch in EXT 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/EXT SURR 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 43.

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 36).

• recording TV programs onto a camcorder (page 39).

• recording cable-TV programs onto a VCR that is not cable-ready (page 36).

• recording audio onto an audio cassette tape recorder (page 41).

Notes

• Remember that whatever you want to record must be

displayed on the TV screen during recording.

• Video signals from the S-VIDEO connector can not be

recorded from the 5jEL£CTO[/TV7D£(? jack. To record from an S-VHS component connected to the S-VIDEO connector, you must also connect the video cable to the

VIDEO INPUT 1 jack and then select channel 91 on the TV

screen.

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

be recorded from this jack.

• Special features such as picture-in-picture can not be recorded

from this jack.

INPUT 2 Jacks-provide for direct connection of video

devices (like VCRs) or compatible home computers and

TV games with video/audio outputs.

To see the signals from a device that is connected to the

INPUT 2 jacks, tune your TV to channel 92.

^ INPUT 1 Jacks-provide for direct connection of video

devices (like VCRs) or compatible home computers and TV games with video/audio outputs.

To see the signals from a device that is connected to the

INPUT 1 jacks, mne your TV to channel 91.

7 ) S-VIDEO Connector-provides for direct S-VHS video

connection from S-VHS VCR or camcorder.

Remember to also connect the S-VHS VCRs or

camcorder’s audio jack(s) to the TV’s INPUT 1 LEFT and/or R/MONO audio jacks. This is necessary because

S-Video cables only carry the super video (picture), not the audio signal. Connection details are on pages 36 and 39.

Signals from S-VHS devices connected to the TV’s

S-VIDEO connector and INPUT I audio jack(s) can be

viewed by pressing the TV button followed by 9 then 0 on the remote control-(or by scanning to TV channel 90 if you have added “90” to channel memory as described

on page 24).

Note: If you want to usé the SELECT OUT jacks, remember to

also connect the S-VHS component’s regular video cable to the

VIDEO INPUT I jack, and then tune to channel 91.

8 ) HI FI OUT Jacks-feed volume-controlled stereo audio

out from whatever is displayed on the TV screen. Allow connection of audio amplifier and lets you adjust sound

Select TV channel 90 if you have an S-VHS VCR connected to the

TV’s S-VIDEO connector.

The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be seen

whenever the TV is receiving the ANT A signals. The cable-TV

channels that are scrambled can then be seen tluu the converter box

and then thru the VCR whenever the TV is receiving the ANT B

signtJs. Most VCRs will feed the signal thru their antenna jacks even when the VCR is turned off. This allows you to watch

scrambled channels from the converter box without having to turn on thie VCR.

This connection can be useful because it will let you record a

scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are watching a

non-scrambled channel thru the ANT A jack on the TV.

For picture-in-picture viewing, be sure to also connect the audio and video cables from the VCR to the TV as shown on pages 35-36. The VCR must be turned on and tuned to the output channel of the

cable box (usually 2,3, or 4) for picture-in-picture viewing.

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

125 non-scrambled cable channels (see chart below). To use this TV oii a cableTV system, confirm that the cable-TV

system is properly connected to yom TV.

Sinai cable systems vary, you may wish

to consult your local cable-TV company

for additional information.

If your cable-TV company follows

EIAyNCTA channel-identification

standards, 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

channel 20, you can choose this channel by selecting chaimel 20 on your TV.

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 time your TV to receive their cable-TV channels.

Not all cable-TV channels will be active on your particiilar 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 “premiumpay” 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 controUed 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 31. Instractions for programming the TV’s remote to control the cable box are on page 33.

If your cable company offers cable channels 90, 91, or 92 you can tune them by selecting the TV channels shown below.

find it useful in certain situations. This connection will let you record onto the VCR. whatever is being displayed on the TV screen such as a TV program. You’ll also be able to record signals firom

anotlier VCR (or similar device) that is

connected to the TV’s INPUT 7 or 2

jack;;.

The TV must remain turned on during recording. If you change channels on the TV, the channel change will be recorded

on tlie VCR tape unless you pause the VCR during recording.

Because your TV is cable-compatible, this

application may be used to record cable-TV procjams from the TV 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 yom TV and up to two compatible VCRs, including most models of most other brands.

To program the remote, press and hold

VCRl (or VCR2'LD) and the two-digit

code number for your brand of VCR.

Note About 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*LD

button and your older VCR to respond to the

VCRl button.

• Some older VCRs have a NORM/UNIFIED

switch that can also respond to either the

VCRl or VCRl’LD button on the remote.

Place this switch in the UNIFIED position

for the VCR to respond to the VCRl button or in the NORM position for the VCR2-U) button. In the NORM position, you must program the VCR2*LD 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

Vi^Rs of the same brand since many older V'CRs use remote codes that are different than newer VCRs. You may want to experiment to see what works with your

piirticul.ar VCRs.

¡-Programming Remote To Control Other Brands of VCRs

1. 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.

2. Press and hold the VCRl or

VCRl'LD button on remote

(depending on which button you

want to program for that VCR). You can program each button to control a different VCR.

3. Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to enter the code

number for your brand of VCR.

Note: You must press the two number buttons while holding the VCRl or

VCRl'LD button.

4. Point the remote at the VCR and

press the POWER button to test the

code number. If nothing happens,

try pressing VCRl or VCR2*LD

(whichever button you are programming).

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

• If the VCR does not react to the remote, repeat steps 1 thru 4 with another code number.

Note: Some older VCRs do not have an

POWER 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 CHAN button instead of the

POWER 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

VCRl (or VCR2»LD) and then POWER.

Some VCRs turn on automatically when you press VCRl or VCR2'LD.

• 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 VCRl or VCR2»LD button (depending on which button you programmed). The other VCR buttons

(such as PLAY, PAUSE, STOP REW, FF, and REQ will control the VCR when the remote is in the “VCR mode”.

• To turn off die VCR, press VCRl (or VCR2*IZ>), then POWER.

• You may need to reprogram the remote when you change the batteries. Try not to

Caution: Do not connect external speakers to more than one 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 you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, 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 TV's

sound.

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

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

2. Presiand 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:

• After releasing the lever, pull gently on the wire and check that it is connected securely to its terminal.

• Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or

contact other wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other, damage to components could result

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 improved 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 TV, connect the speakers to the Amplifier/Receiver instead of the TV. Sound from the TV wiU then come through the

Amphfier/Receiver and the TV’s internal speakers. You can

turn off the TV’s internal speakers with the SPEAKERS:

OV/DFF function described on page 16.

The diagram here shows how to coimect 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.

The speaker switch on the back of the TV 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.

Dust TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting

attachment of your vacuum cleaner. Occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation. Take care not to scratch the plastic

surfaces.

To clean the screen, you can wipe it with a damp soft

cloth. (A very diluted, mild soap can be used on the

screen if it is extremely dirty.) You can also use a non abrasive glass cleaner like Windex® or Glass Plus® with a soft cloth. Be sure to apply cleaner to a cloth. Do not put

cleaner directly on the screen.

If your TV’s cabinet has a textured finish, do not use furniture polish. Because textured finishes are porous,

using furniture polish will mar their appearance. They can be easily cleaned with a damp, soft cloth.

Do not use strong cleaners, polishes, or chemically-

treated cloths to clean the screen or cabinet.

Never place drinks or vases with water on top of your TV.

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can

easUy correct without the help of a service technician by first checking a few basic remedies.

Before you call or take your unit to an Authorized RCA TV Servicenter, look below for the type of trouble you are experiencing. Then perform the simple checks and adjustments

listed for that trouble.

If your unit is still in warranty, these checks and adjustments could save you time aud the cost of an unneeded trip to the

servicer. They also could save you the cost of a diagnosis not covered by your warranty.

If your unit is out of warranty, these checks and adjustments could save you the cost of an unneeded diagnosis. If service

should be necessary, the warranty explains how to get it.
