Glo-In-The-Dark Remote CRK76TA1
Ergonomic design with glo-in-the­dark buttons provides complete TV operation plus control of the primary functions of virtually every brand of remote-controllable VCRs and cable boxes, and RCA Satellite Systems. Also controls most functions of RCA DVD Players and select functions of some brands of audio components. Frequently used buttons glow in the dark, making it easy to find the cor­rect functions even at night.
• Adjustable Picture Control
Custom picture settings are just a button press away. Adjust and store Contrast, Color, Tint, Black Level, and Sharpness settings for personal picture performance depending on your own individual tastes.
• Custom Convergence Adjustment
When the Earth’s magnetic field interferes with the Projection TV alignment, adjustable convergence provides fine tuning for red, blue, and green Projection TV tubes. The 8-bit DA (digital-to-analog) con­verter allows much finer alignment for restoring picture performance to its original setting.
Dark-Tint Screen — 25%
Improved Brightness
New screen design improves brightness by 25% while utilizing dark-tint double lenticular and fresnel levels to enhance picture contrast with blacker blacks, brilliant whites, and deep rich colors.
• High Output, Liquid Cooled­and-Coupled Picture Tubes
High output picture tubes are liquid coupled to a precision optical sys­tem to deliver bright, clear images.
• High Transmittance Lens System
Hybrid glass/acrylic lens system optimizes focus while providing maximum brightness.
• First Surface Reflective Mirror
Provides maximum picture bright­ness and sharpness by reflecting more light from the front surface of the mirror.
• Preferred Picture Presets
Optimize the picture by selecting the correct setting depending on the lighting conditions of the room. Choose between four settings for bright lighting, normal lighting, dim (soft) lighting, and a customer­selectable and savable “personal” setting.
• 181-Channel Tuning Capability
5
Digitally-controlled frequency synthesis tuning system “locks on” to cable and standard signals with unsurpassed accuracy.
Computer-aligned 10-bit digital circuitry provides precise and con­sistent picture performance from the moment the TV is turned on. Combined with Dynamic Focus, it maximizes picture brightness with sharper corner focus ensuring a beautifully detailed picture across the entire screen.
3-Line Digital Comb Filter
Digital separation technology for color and edge detail dramatically enhances picture resolution by eliminating blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl, producing a new level of picture sharpness and detail.
High-Performance Scan
Velocity Modulation (SVM)
Improved SVM circuitry automat­ically varies the scanning speed of the picture tube’s electron beam to improve sharpness and detail especially in high contrast areas.
• Dynamic Focus
Improves corner and edge focus for an overall sharper picture.
• Adaptive Video Noise Reduction
Video noise filter greatly reduces noisy picture interference by automatically adjusting to the incoming signal level, providing a cleaner and more consistent over­all picture.
• Auto Color Balance (also called Auto Kine Bias — AKB)
Resets individual picture tube guns (Red, Green, Blue) to maintain consistent overall picture quality for the life of the tube.
• Wide Band Video Amplifier
Delivers high resolution and clarity by extending the video frequency response. Optimizes performance from high-resolution sources such as the RCA Satellite System, DVD players, and S-Video signals (S-VHS, Hi8).
• Dynamic BlackStretch Circuitry
Extends black levels in bright scenes to enhance contrast and detail.
Automatically maintains natural tones and color fidelity from channel to channel and scene to scene.
• Adjustable Color Warmth
Customer-selectable color temperature system allows for background color balance adjust­ment of the picture to personal preference. Setting choices are Cool, Warm (Warm = NTSC 6500°k), or Normal.
• Contrast/Color Tracking System
Synchronizes contrast and color settings to maintain vibrant images.
Home Theatre Premiere™Video System
Exclusive digital circuitry and advanced feature design combine to deliver outstanding picture performance with up to 900 lines of horizontal resolution

Advanced Twin Tuner
Picture-In-Picture
Two built-in, independent tuning systems allow both large-picture and small-picture viewing without the need for a second external video source (e.g., VCR). In addition to the standard RCA PIP feature of Swap, the Twin Tuner PIP System also provides:
–Continuous Move
Permits placement of the small picture anywhere on the screen.
–Commercial Skip-to-PIP
This exclusive RCA feature allows the main picture to move to the PIP window simultaneously with the activation of an on-screen count­down timer. The viewer can then monitor the original program while browsing through other channels during commercial breaks.
• Auto Tune
After initial setup, just pressing one component button on the TV’s remote (either VCR, RCA Satellite System, cable, or DVD) turns on both the TV and the component and also automatically tunes the TV to the correct viewing channel. Just one press!
• Picture Memory for Video Inputs
Custom picture settings are activated whenever direct video inputs are selected. Allows tailored picture per­formance with each video source.
• Picture Reset
Instantly returns picture to factory settings for Color, Tint, Contrast, Brightness, and Sharpness.
• Advanced Auto Channel Search
Auto Cable/Air Switch sets tuner to cable or “off-air” frequencies during initial setup. Then system auto­matically scans for and locks active channels into channel memory.
• On-Screen Menu System
On-screen displays make it easy to adjust most picture, sound, and convenience features from either the remote control or the TV front panel buttons.
• Interactive Setup Menu
Convenient on-screen menu system automatically steps user through the initial setup procedures.
• Trilingual On-Screen Display
Allows the on-screen menu system to be displayed in one of three languages (English, French, or Spanish).
• On-Screen Time and Channel Display
Displays time and channel number at the press of a button.
• Programmable Timer System
Convenient scheduling system can be used in a variety of ways:
–Sleep Timer
Automatically turns off the TV after a preset time period — for those times when you drift off to sleep in front of the television.
–Alarm Timer
Wake up to your favorite morning show or turn on your television au­tomatically to catch your favorite program.
–Scheduling Timer
Since the alarm setting remains in the TV memory indefinitely, the TV can be scheduled to turn on at the same time every day.
Assign on-screen characters to easily identify channels (e.g., NBC, HBO, ESPN, VH-1).
• Front Panel Lockout
Completely disables front panel controls to prevent toddlers from altering settings.
• V-Chip Parental Control
Puts control back into the hands of the viewer by blocking unwanted television broadcasts with U.S. Government required circuitry. Blocks three types of programs: regular television programs, broadcast movies and unrated programs.
Program rating information is sent by the broadcaster continuously during the program. The television will match program rating to user preference and block the entire program (when program is aired with the encoded signal). User preference is secured using a four-digit password.
• Non-Volatile Memory
In case of most power outages, the picture adjustments and channel selections are stored in electronic memory.
• Caption Vision Closed Caption Capability
8
Assists the hearing impaired, helps children learn to read, and aids in the teaching of English as a second language. Built-in Closed Caption Decoder displays the audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen (when program is aired with the encoded signal).
• Slim Cabinet Design
Unique optics system utilizes radius phosphor tubes to shorten the interior light path resulting in enhanced picture quality with a super-slim cabinet profile with reduced depth.
