Hil, I'M ROGER.

I wrote this manual to help you get the most from your TV. I know you expect a lot from your "PC,so I designed this user manual to give you the information you need.., when you need it.

! 1

FIRSTTHINGS FIRST

READ THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS

The manual is designed to get you started

cluickly.., 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 "[eatures, and appendices.

'Well... if your TV's out of the box, let's get

started. First things first.

throughout the rnanual. I've got some great tips that will help you get the most

from your TV.

STEP 1

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

STEP 2: CONNECT'ING 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 VC'R,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

VCRs0a 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.

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.

TV GUIDE PLUS+ CONTROLLER

The TV GUIDE Plus+* controller allows direct control of a cable,

box and VCR using a pair of IR (infrared) controllers. ° Plug the TV GUIDE Plus+ controller into the VCR CONTROL

jack on the back of the TV.

• Affix the IRcontrollers directly over the IR remote sensors on your cable box and VCR.

STEP 3

Plug in the TV. Plug the end into the wall outlet, matching the wide blade of

the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

TV GUIDE is a trademark of TV Guide FinanciaJ, Inc.

Locating the IR (infrared)

Remote Control Sensor on

Your Cable Box or VCR The IR controllers must be affixed

directly over the IR remote sensors on your cable box or VCR.

Some cable boxes and VCRs label the IR sensors; others do not. If the

sensors are labeled, affix the IR controllers directly over them.

IR Remote Sensor

For those that do not label the IR sensor, you need to use the cable box

or VCR's remote to locate the sensor before affixing the IR controllers.

1. Hold the remote control so that it is touching the front of the cable

box or VCR.

2. Slowly move the remote over the front of the cable box or VCR

while pressing the remote's

POWER button on and off

3. When the cable box or VCR turns off or on, you've located the

sensor.

You should test the IR controUers after setting up the TV GUIDE Plus+

system. Temporarily attach the IR controllers with clear tape to the spots where you think the sensors are located. After determining that

the controllers are working correctly,

affix them permanently.

". ,, :'

STEP 4

Put batteries in the remote.

Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote.

Insert batteries as shown, matching the + and - ends of each battery in the compartment.

Replace the cover.

STEP 5

Turn on the TV.

Press TV on the remote, or press POWER on the TV itself.

STEP 6

Read the next section, Using the Menu System, which is a brief

overview of the basic rules for getting around in the menus.

STE P 7

Proceed to section three, Interactive Setup. The interactive setup

routine walks you through the steps needed to fully configure the TV. The first steps ask you to select your preferred language for the menu system and to begin the auto channel search, which

puts available cable TV or antenna signals into the TV's memory. You can skip any of the steps and return to them later.

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.

2 o,.NoT.EMENU,YSTEM]

,. -,. _..

THE MENU RULE: POINTAND SELECT

You only need to know one rule to use the on-screen 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 MENU.SELECT. 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.

2. Point to Channel by pressing the down arrow until the word Channel is highlighted.

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 panels 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.

• .Press0 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 llhe 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 stalrt over again,

ii i J

_tONTROL 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.

I You don't need to remember the 1

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

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.

, 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 as you select a choice, the TV saves your

change, and you are returned to the previous menu.

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

INUMERIC ENTRY

A numeric entry control panel is used to enter numbers or

,etters. For example, to set the current time:

1. Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.

2. Point to Time and press MENU.

Point to Set Time and press MENU. The Set Time numeric

entry control panel comes up. Notice the pointer underneath the first column.

4. Press the up arrow to enter a number in that column.

5. Pressthe 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.

r •

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.

For example, if you have a DVD player connected to the Video 2 input jacks on the back of the TV, you want the TV to tune to the Video 2 input channel when you press DVDoVCR2. If you don't have a DVD,VCR2 component connected to the TV, skip this step or select Not Connected from the DVDNCR2 Channel choice list. (For more, see Auto Tuning in the Quick Reference

section.)
