Custom Picture Memoryfor InputChannels

The channel numbers you select to see signals from

components (like a VCR) that are connected tothe INPUT

jacks on the back of.the TV are called input channels. -

Selecting channel 90 lets you scc the signal coming from

whatever component is attached to the s VIDEOconnector,

channel 91 lets you see the signal from the INPUT1 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 TV 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 lhc settings of any other channel. This is very
useful because you will bc 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.

Graphic Equalizer

The EQUALIZER [tl[1L'tl(In ICts \,OLIdi,,pla} an on-screen

gtaphtc uqualizct ._o _ou cart tcmotcb, ddju'+,t audio band-
widths for different environments or individual tastes.

Adjusting the graphic equalizer is primarily a matter ot
personal taste. The adjustment'-, can be thought of a,-,more

prcci,,c tone controls that allow curtain characteristics of
the audio to bc changed ',: Hhout atfccting others. I ut

example, if someone enjoys sharp, clean horns (brass),

incrca,,ing the 4.5 kllz control can bring thorn out. Using

,t COIl\ Ctlti'.ql;tl [tobit ct',llti-ol \\Otlld also hlctc,ls, c \oc,d,,

artd high-frequency noise, which might be an undesirable
side -effect.

The equalizer al.,,o gives contrtfl of the center range that

ba,,,s and trchle controls do not affect. Since vocal fre-
quertcie_ arc in these center ranges, tone control,,, have lit-

fie effect on them. The center bands not only give control

of vocals, but allow selective vocal ranges to be con-

tr,_lled. For example, reducing the 400 Hz and I ktIz
bands can soften a strident male vocali.,,t, and increasing
the _ kHz and 4.5 kHz controls can brim, a subtle female

voice forward. Adjusting the 1 kHz and 2 kHz bands can
add intelligibillt 5 to a .,,peaker or singer under certain cir-
cumstances.

II II P-11P'4.'4

The equalizer can also be used to compensate for either
d.,,ficiencies ot excesse_ in the way the '.;vstem or room
reproduces the nlusic. Most comtnon problems are "'dull'"

and "live'" rooms that have too little or too much treble
and "'live'" rooms of certain sizes that have standing waves

thatboorn. Experimentarion can help lind the nearest
band to correct such problems. A room with a _ofa and
many drapes, for example, might benefit from increasing

the 4.5 kHz and t0 kHz bands. Live rooms with wood
floors and few furnishing, s commonly boom or resonate in

the upper t-,ass range. Adjusting the 15{) H/band could

Expanded Stereo

_our-IV includes an lz.\pandcd Stcrco tcaturc v_hich adds
greater depth and dimension to _tereo broadcasts. Yot,r
T\: clcctromcallv inctca-,es the audio scparati_,n perccp-
tion of the :speakers so you perceive an "'expanded" more
spacious .,,tereo sot, nd effect.

\hhough you C<tll ca,ilv ttllil lhc e'q)anctcd ,,tcico feature

on and off ,:isdesired, you may prefer to leave it turned on.
That way your TV wil! automatically process and c\pand

thc stereo signal,, \'_ bent\ CI<t,,torte broadc<tst is rcccix cd
(or whenever a stereo tape is played through a stereo 'V('R
connected lo the TV'< audio/video jacks labeled iNPUT).

Because this feature expands stereo sound, it processes

only stereo signals. I[ a TV program is broadca.',t iit inono

instead ot stereo, your TV will automatically reproduce

monaural audio. You will not be.0ble to hear Expanded

Stereo because expansion has no effect on monaural

audio.

Stereo expansion enhances the anabience of music and

program material. Dramatic ctfects of spatial enhance-

ment can be experienced with music. Talk shows with

background crowd noise also benefit frorn expansion by

engulfing the listener in a wider sound field than would be

experienced without c'cpandcd stereo. The effect will vary

with program material.

The perception of greater stereo separation is created by

cancelling the cross-coupled sound from the right speaker
that arrive.,, at the left ear (and the left speaker that arrive.,,
at the right ear). Like stereo headphones, stereo expansion
i.,,olate.sthe left and right .,,ignals that arrive at the ears. As
a result, the speakers seem to be farther away from the TV.

Programming RemoteTo Control Other Brands of VCRs

Refer to the chart at the right 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.

1 Press and hold YCRqor VCN2-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.

2 Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to

enter the code number for your brand of VCR.

4 Release the veal button and point the remote at the VCR.

Press the POWERbutton to test the code number. If nothing

happens, try pressing VCRqor VCR2(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 OFF/ONswitch 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

CHANNELbutton instead of the POWERbutton. 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 vcm (or YEa2) and then POWER. Some VCRs
turn on automatk:ally when you press VCR1or 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 VCR1or VCR2button (depending on

which button you programmed). The other VCR buttons (such as pLAY,

PAUSE,STOP,REWIND,FF,and RECORD) will control the VCR when the

remote is in the "VCR mode". Pressing these function buttons may

automatically switch the remote from "TV mode" to "VCR mode". To

turn off the VCR, press VCR1(or Yen2),then POWER.To change channels
on the VCR, press VCR1(or Yen2),then CHANNELup or down. This
remote will control the basic functions of compatible VCRs. It will not
be able to control the advanced functions of all brands of VCRs. You
may have to reprogTam your remote if you change its batteries.

Notes About Controlling Two VCRs

This remote can control two VCRs independently as long as each VCR

operates on a different remote transmitting code.
If neither of your VCRs have switchable code capabilities, you still may

be able to use the VER1/VCR2.LDfeature to control two VCRs of the same
brand since many older VCRs use remote codes that are different than
newer VCRs. You may want to experiment to see what works with your

particular VCRs.

Tips to Read Before Connecting Components

Compatible Components

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

details.

Other brands of components can also be connected to your
TV. Refer to thc component's owner's mmnlal for tile
manufacturer's rccommendcd hookup instructions.

PositioningComponentson Shelves

3b ensurc the best performance from your components,
follow these general guidelines when arranging them on
tile shelves of a conrponent compartment.

Amplifiers, receivers, and VCRs generate heat during
operation, so special care should _ taken when arranging
these components in the compartment. Do not stack an •
amplifier (or receiver) and a VCR directly on top of each
other because each component generates heat and may not
provide the best performance if stacked together. Do not
stack other components directly on top of an amplifier,
receiver, or VCR.

If you include both an amplifier (or receiver) and a VCR,
put the amplifier on the top shelf and put the VCR on the

bottom shelf. Leave at least four inches of clearance above
the amplifier (Or receiver) and at least two inches of

clearanceabove other components.

If you have just a VCR and no amplifier (or receiver),
position the VCR on the bottom shelf. Do not stack
anything else directly on top of the VCR. Leave at least

two inches of clearance between the VCR and the shelf
above it.

Some VCRs may cause interference in TV sets if they are
placed too close to the TV. The ProScan cabinets have a
built-in interference barrier to help eliminate this type of
intcrfcrence. If you are using another type of cabinet and
interference is present when using your VCR, try placing
the VCR on the bottom shelf or try plugging the TV and
VCR powei cords into different wall sockets.

Pluggingin Power Cords

Do not plug any power cord into a wall outlet until you are

finished making connection,.;.

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. Usttally these outlets will be labeled ei!:her

"switched" or "unswitched"

If the outlet is labeled "switched", that means power to the

outlet will be swilched off' v, hen 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 fine

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 PraScan 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 ot tlet only one way.

PositionCables to AvoidHum

The possibility of picking up hum (interference noise) in

the audio/video cables ,,viii be reduced if you keep them

away from the back of the TV. Route the ,cables to the
sides of the TV's back pane instead of straight down the

middle.

All cable phJgs should be firmly seated in the jacks where
they connect to the equipment. If a plug is no!: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 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.

,..,._

_mo

TurnOff Power Before ConnectingComponents

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.

PositionSpeakerstoAvoid 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 1:oIseveral minules while moving
the speakers farther away Then turn the TV back on.

The ProScan SPK060 speakers are completel> shielded
and can be positioned next to the TV without affecting the
picture.

Most cable companies that require use of a converter decoder

box only require the box for scrambled premium channels

like tIBO or Skowtime. All the other cable-TV channels can
usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore. bv
ubJnga signal splitter, you can send the incoming cable-TV
signals directly to the TV and _ilsothru the converter/decoder

box and VCR as shown above.

You can easily switch bctween the signals coming into the
ANTAjack and the ANTBjack by pressing the ANTENNAbutton

on the remote control. The channel numbers will change
colors to let you know which antenna signals you arc
watching. When the numbers are blue, you are seeing the
ANTA signals. When the numbers are yellow, you are seeing
the ANTBsignals.

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

s_.enwhenever the TV is receiving the ANTAsignals. The
c;It_Io-TVchannels that are scrambled can then be seen thru
the ct)nvertel box add then thru the VCR whcnc,_cr the I'V is

receiving the ANTBsignals. Most VCRs ,<'+illfeed the signal
thru their antenna ,lacks even when the VCR is turned off.

This allows YeLlto watch scrambled channels from the
converter box without having to turn on the VCR.

This connection can be useful because it will let you record a
scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you arc
watching a non-scrambled channel thru the ANTAjack on the
TV.

Note: Be sure It, also connect tire VCR's AUDIOand VIDEOOUTjacks to
the TV's AUDIOand VIDEg N iacks as shown on pages 42-43. The
audio video connections are ncccssar> for picture-in-picture ,<'icwine
