HI, I'M ROGER.

I wrote this manual to help you get the most

from your TV. I know you expect a lot from your TV, so I designed this user manual to give you the information you need.., when you need it.

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.

FIRSTTHINGS FIRST

Well... if your TV's out of the box, let's get started. First things first.

throughout the manual. I've got some

great tips that will help you get the most

I Check out the notes I've addled 1

from your TY.

STEP 1

Unpack the TV. Make sure to locate the remote control and Connections Foldout.

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 receiver.

TV ONLY

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 WITH OTHER COMPONENTS

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. See Appendix 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.

Reference section.

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 onIscreen 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 MENUoSELECT. 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 Channel by pressing the down arrow until the word Channel is highlighted.

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

number buttons on the remote. Press CLI-AR at any time to remove all

displays from the screen and return to

TV viewing.

Many VCR user 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 Exit and press MENU to return to the Main menu.

Point to Exit and 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

panel_ 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 Exit and 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. PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.

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

3. PressMENU 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.

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

I You don't need to remember the 1

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 Channel and 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 asyou select a choice, theTV saves your change, and you are returned to the previous menu.

Point to Exit and press MENU to return to the Main menu.

.6.

Point to Exit and 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 tlqe 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.

8. Point to Exit and press MENU to return to the Main menu.

9. Point to Exit and 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.

1. Press GUIDE to bring up the TV GUIDE Plus+ menu.

PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE) OPERATION

The PIP (picture-in-picture) feature lets you display a second,

smaller picture on top of the main picture.

A BRIEF EXPLANATION

Your TV is equipped with a single tuner that tunes to cable or off-air television signals. The PIP feature on your TV requires a second video source, like a VCR or satellite receiver to supply the second picture to the screen. The PIPfeature also requires connecting the second video source to the TV with audio/video

cables.

window works:

CH CTRL (Channel Control) Lets you switch channel control between the PIPwindow and the main picture.

PIP Z_

SWAP _ MOVE

A typical use of SWAP is to scan through channels in the PIPwindow,

and when you find a channel you lik_

press SWAP to display that channel il

the main picture, sending the currenl channel to the PiP window.

For example, if you program the Autotune feature, you can tune to the Video1 input channel when you press the VCR1 button on the remote. In PIP mode, pressing the VCR1 button tunes the PIPwindow to the Video1 input channel.

3. Use the channel up and down buttons and the other PIP buttons, MOVE, SWAP and CH CTRLto adjust the two

CREATING A GREENER i-UTURE

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 protectedl 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 gui¢leline for conducting

our business.

_ THOMSON CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

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 as trash, 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.

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 a free brochure regarding Thomson's Environmental Health and Safety Programs, write to Thomson Consumer Electronics' address below, attention Environmental Programs: INH340.

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 WATER

Thomson recovers over 2 million

pounds of fine glass particles from p_o(:esswater each year and recycles

them back into its glass furnaces.

Thomson's state-of-the-art waste water treatment plants i:iiter out over 26

million pounds of solids from process

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

2,5(}0 gallons of water per minute and cleans 2.6 million gallons of water per day.

Thomson is resea_rching new processes and is developinq new manufacturing equipment and technologies to further reduce large volume water use.

Please do not send any products to the Indianapolis address listed in t_hismanual or on the carton. This will only add delays in

service for your product.
