CAUTION: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline-operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark or 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 volts, 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.

The steps below will help you get your TV connected and working quickly. The page numbers on which you can find

detailed instructions for each of these steps are also listed

for your convenience.

1. Unpack TV and accessories.

Shown here are the accessories that came packed with your TV.

Remote Control

Four AAA Batteries for

Remote Fear Wing Nuts

Power Cord

Note: A fiat, wooden shelf is included with certain models. Placing this shelf on top of

the TV (right behind the front narrow ledge) creates a level surface upon which you can position a VCR or other component if desired.

2. Install batteries in remote control.

Detailsare on page 8.

Back Collapsed

3. Extend back cover.

Your projection TV has been specially designed with a collapsible back cover. This design makes it easier for you to move the TV through doorways because the collapsed back makes the TV narrower. After the TV is positioned in your home, you can easily extend the back cover to its normal operating position by following the instructions below.

1. Remove the four wing nuts from the literature bag.

2. Remove the two screws (labeled A) from the shipping

brackets. You will use these screws later in step 6.

3. Grasp the shipping brackets and gently pull the back cover

up and out until the locating pins enter the alignment holes. Keep the back cover tight against the cabinet by holding the shipping bracket on the right side. Then attach wing nut to

built-in hole screw in hole #1. Hand tighten.

4. Hold left shipping bracket and attach wing nut to built-in screw in hole #2. Hand tighten.

5. Attach remaining wing nuts to screws in holes #3 and #4 to ensure stability and best picture quality.

6. Remove the shipping brackets from the back cover and attach them to the wooden rail with the two screws (A) from step 2. Reinsert the other two screws from the shipping brackets into the back of the TV as shown, so they will be

available in case you need to move your TV and want to

collapse the back again.

4. Position TV in room.

A major benefit of a Projection Color Television is its large

viewing screen. To receive full benefit of the expanded screen size, placement of the TV in the viewing room is

important. The illustrations suggest the "best viewing areas" relating to the TV's screen.

You will see the best picture if you sit directly in front of the IV 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 fire 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.

Beforeattemptingtooperate your

remote control, install the batteries as shown here.

:['he 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 llhat 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

L 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 fast.

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.

• Replacethe batterieswhenthe"IVfails to respondto theremotecontrol.

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.

Adjusting for a Color Picture that Pleases You

1. Decrease color to minimum. This will leave a black-and-white

image on the screen.

2. Adjust contrast until the picture pleases you.

3. Adjust brightness until the black parts of the picture appear black. You may need to wait unto the picture shows something you're sure is black to make this adjustment. Be careful not to

lose the demos in darkly shaded areas.

4. Increase color until you reach a pleasing level of intensity.

5. Adjust tint until flesh tones or other color objects appear natural.

6. Adjust sharpness for a pleasing level of picture sharpness. (For weak signals, the picture may be more pleasing with sharpness

decreased.)

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

INPUT2 jacks. Your TV is equipped with a custom picture memory for these input channels. When the "IV 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.

Your projection TV has three color projection tubes--one for red, one for

green, and one for blue. When mixed _Iogether in the proper proportion, the

output of these three color tubes can produce many colors. To produce

_Lhesecolors, 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 robes can drift out of alignment due

1:onormal bumps and vibrations or moving the TV. If you move your 'IV 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 allows 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 thatis active in your area. Allow the

TV to operate at least ten minutes before converging.

2. Repeatedly press the VIDEO button

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 STEREOISAP 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 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 statio n to inquire whether the program being broadcast is in true stereo or monaural audio.

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 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

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 perceiv.od 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 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 43.

Page 19

Your TV includes a new feature

called SRS (O)* (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 NORMAL or ENHANCE. When this function is set to

ENHANCE, 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 (O) 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.

*SRS and (e) are registered trademarks of Hughes

Aircraft Company, a division of GM Hughes Electronics.

TheVCR 1 CHAN function lets you

program to which channel the TV will automatically tune when you press the VCR1 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 OUT jacks to the

TV's INPUT 1 jacks (as shown on page 37), 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 VCR1 button

on the remote.

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

VCR1 button on the remote. Pressing VCR1 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 remote-

controllable VCR's to respond to the

VCR1 button as described on

page 40. 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 button on the remote. You

can program most brands of remote- controllable VCR's to respond to the

VCR2 button as described on

page 40. Pressing the VCR2 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 VCR1 or VCR2 button does not change betweenANTA andANTB

antenna inputs as explained on page 18. Press theANT button on the remote control to

• Enter channel 90 if you have a Super-VHS VCR that is connected to the TV's

S-VIDEO connector andINPUT 1 audio jacks (labeled L and R/MONO).

• Enter channel 03 (or 04) if you did not use any audio/video cables and connected the VCR to the TV's round antenna jack labeledANTA orANTB. Enter the same channel number (03 or 04) as the position of the VCR's CH3/CH4 switch. This is

the channel to which you must tune your TV for viewing signals from your VCR.

• Refer to pages 37-38 if you want to review details about connecting your VCR to

your TV.

Page 29

The CABLE CHAN function lets you program to which channel the TV

will automatically tune when you

press the CABLE button on the remote. This is handy if you have to connect a cable box to your TV. You

will no longer have to remember the output channel of the cable box

because the TV will remember for

yOU.

For example, if you connect a cable box to the TV's CABLE/ANTENNA

connector (as shown on page 33 or

34), you will no longer have to remember to select channel 2, 3, or 4

on the TV to see what's coming from the cable box. By entering the cable box's output channel (usually 02, 03, or 04) next to the CABLE CHAN

function, the TV will automatically tune to that channel each time you

press the CABLE button on the remote.

This function is especially convenient if you have a remote-controllable cable box that can be operated by the CABLE button on the remote (as described on page 35). Pressing the CABLE button will then not only

switch the remote to cable mode but

will also automatically tune the TV to

the proper channel for viewing the picture from the cable box.

Note: Pressing the CABLE button does not change between ANTA andANTB antenna

inputs as explained on page 18. Press the

ANT button on the remote control to change

antenna inputs if necessary.

Note: Pressing the - button here will turn off this feature and display

CABLE CHAN: OFF again.

Enter the channel number you want to program by pressing two digit buttons

on the remote control. (The channel number you enter is the channel to

which the TV will tune automatically when you later press the CABLE

button on the remote.) The TV will change to the channel you select. This will help you to confirm that it is indeed the channel you want the TV

to automatically tune. Most cable

boxes output their signals on either

channel 02, 03, or 04.

After you have connected another video source (such as

a VCR or camcorder) to 1NPUTS 1 or INPUTS 2 on your TV (as shown on pages 37, 38, or 41), you are

ready to display picture-in-picture.

Starting Picture-in-Picture (PIP)

1. Turn on .TV and select the TV channel you want to watch.

2. Press the TV button toput the remote in "TV mode". (This step can be skipped if the remote is already in

the "TV mode".)

3. Press the PIP button. A little picture will appear on the screen. The little picture and the big picture will

be the same.

Changing Channels (PIP) To change channels on the picture from the "IV, press the

TV button on the remote, and then press either the CHANNEL up or down button or two number buttons.

Picture from TV

To change channels on the picture coming from the VCR, press VCR1 or VCR2 (if you've programmed the VCR1 or

VCR2 button to control the VCR as described on page 40)

and then press either the CHANNEL up or down button or two number buttons. You can also change the VCR's picture by pressing the CHANNEL buttons on the front of

the VCR.

4. To get a picture from the other source (VCR,

Picture from VCR

The small picture can be moved, enlarged, reduced, frozen, or switched with the main picture as desired. Details are on the next page.

--- Picture from VCR

• If the other source is connected to the TV's INPUT 1 jacks,

select "IV channel 91 to see the signal. If you have programmed the VCR1 or VCR2 button to automatically select channel 91 as described on page 26, press VCR1 or VCR2.

• Select channel 92 if the other source is connected to the TV's

INPUT 2 jacks. If you have programmed the VCR1 or VCR2 button to automatically select channel 92 as described on

page 26, press VCR1 or VCR2.

• Select channel 90 if the other source is connected to the TV's

S-VIDEO connector. When using an S-VHS input for the source of the small picture, you must connect the video output

of the source to VIDEO INPUT 1 of the set. When the picture from the S-VHS source is displayed in the small inset picture, you wil! see a non S-VHS picture; and when the picture from

the S-VHS source is displayed in the large picture, it will display an S-VHS picture. The TV automatically minimizes

any annoying differences in tint between the small and large picture by electronically coupling the S-VIDEO input to the

VIDEO 1 input. If you have programmed the VCR1 or VCR2 button to automatically select channel 90 as described on page 26, press VCR1 or VCR2.

Compatible Components A wide variety of compatible RCA Video Cassette Recorders

(VCR's), camcorders, and audio components are available. Check with your RCA dealer fordetails.

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 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 VCR's 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 TV.

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

Plugging inPower 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.

r)epending 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 turnoff 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, VCR's, 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

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 "IV, 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.

t_ SPEAKER Switch-when you connect additional speakers

to the EXTERNAL SPEAKERS terminals on the TV, this switch lets you optimize the sound for thespeaker location

• If you place the speakers on each side of the TV, put switch in EXT position. 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 of the TV's internal speakers and a surround signal to rear speakers.

• Details about connecting speakers to the TV are on pages 45.

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 (except signal from S-VIDEO connector). Provide audio and video signals suitable for recording.

Can be used for several applications such as:

• VCR editing with two or three VCR's (page 38).

• recording TV programs onto a camcorder (page 41).

• recording cable-TV programs onto a VCR that is not cable-ready (page 38).

• recording audio onto an audio cassette tape recorder (page 43).

Notes:

• Remember that the signal coming out of thesejacks is

whatever you see (and/or hear)on the TV screen. So, whatever you want to record must be displayed on the TV

screenduring recording. Menus, status displays, and special effects such as picture-in-picture and channel guide will not

appear in the recording.

• Video signals from S-VIDEO connector can not be recorded from theSELECT OUT VIDEOjack. To record from an

S-VHS componentconnected to the S-VIDEO connector,you must also connect the video cable to the VIDEOINPUT 1 jack

and then selectchannel 91 on the TV screen.

INPUT 2 Jacks-provide for direct connection of video

devices (like VCR's) or compatible home computers and

TV games with audio/video 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 VCR's) 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,

tune your TV to channel 91.

S-VIDEO Connector-provides for direct S-VHS video connection from S-VHS VCR or camcorder.

Remember to also connect the S-VHS VCR's 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 38

and 41. 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).

VCR's CH3/CH4 switch.

Most cable companies thatrequire use of a converter/decoder box only require the box for scrambled premium channels like HBO or

Showtime. All the other cable-TV channels can usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore, by using a signal splitter, you can send the incoming cable-TV signals directly to the TV and also

thru the converter/decoder box and VCR as shown above.

You can easily switch between the signals coming into the ANTA

jack and the ANTB jack by pressing the ANT button on the remote

:['hecable-TV channels that arenot scrambled can then be seen whenever the TV is receiving the ANTA signals. The cable-TV

channels that are scrambled can then be seen thru the converter box and then thru the VCR whenever the TV is receiving the ANTB

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

,;crambled channels from the converter box without having to turn on the VCR.

This connection can be useful because it will let you record a ,;crambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are watching a non-scrambled channel thru the ANTA jack on the 'IV.

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 37-38.

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.

Note: If you have a stereo VCR, be sure to also connect the

AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks on the VCR to theAUDIO and

VIDEO IN jacks on the TV as shown on page 37. These additional

audio/video connections are required for picture-in-picture operation and for stereo playback from the VCR. To see the signals from the VCR that are going into the INPUT jacks, select

TV channel 91 if you connected the VCR to the INPUT 1jacks or select channel 92 if you connected the VCR to the INPUT 2 jacks.

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 on a cable- "IV system, confirm that the cable-TV

system is properly connected to your TV. Since cable s_stems vary, you may wish

to consult your local cable-TV company for additional information.

If your cable-TV company follows

EIA/NCTA 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 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

descrarnbler 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 33 or Diagram D on page 34. Instructions for programming

the TV's remote to control the cable box

are on page 35.

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 33 or Diagram D on

page 34.

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

SpecialRecordingonto 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 whatever 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 TV must remain turned on during recording. If 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 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 VCR's. 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 on to a

third VCR (or camcorder) connected as shown here to the

SELECT OUT jacks.

If you connect a surveillance system to your monitor, you'll be able to record what the camera is displaying on the TV screen

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

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 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 VCR's are capable of working

on either of two remote codes. These VCP,s

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 a NORMIUNIFIED

switch thatcan 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 VCR1 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 VCR's 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 VCR's. You may want to experiment to see what works with your

particular VCRs.

-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: Youmustpressthetwonumber buttonswithinthreeseconds of pressing

theID 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 turnon the VCR whenever you press VCRI (or VCR2) and then ON/OFF.

Some VCR's 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 VCRI or VCR2 button

(depending on which button you programmed). The other VCR buttons

(such as PLAY, PAUSE, STOP REWIND, FE and RECORD) will

control the VCR when the remote is in

the "VCR mode".

• To turnoff the VCR, press VCRI (or VCR2), then ONIOFF.

• To change channels on the VCR, press

VCR1 (or VCR2), then CHANNEL up

or down.

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

to press any buttons when changing batteries.

Connecting Speakers to Back of TV

Ifyou connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, connect the

speakers to the amplifier/receiver instead of the TV.

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 "IV and the amplifier, you will damage your equipment.

If you do not connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, you can connect external speakers to the back of 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. 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:

• 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 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 16.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/MONO input jack.

To connect S-VHS (Super-VHS) components, an S-VHS video cable is required.

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults" that you can easily 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 and 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 warrantyexplains how to get it.

No closed captioning

• Turn on the CAPTIONING function.

• Closed captioning is temporarily turned off when using the channel guide

and the special features of freeze and zoom. Details are on pages 12 and 13.

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.

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.

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 W'mdex ®or Glass Plus ®with a

soft cloth. Be sure to apply cleaner to a cloth. Do not put cleaner directly on the screen.

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.
