Receiving Stereo Broadcasts
Your TV is fully capable of reproducing stereo sound from
TV stations transmitting stereo sound in your area. All you
have to do to enjoy stereo sound is to make sure the TV's
STEREO/SAP function is set to STEREOSOthe TV can receive
stereo broadcasts.
Normally this function can be left in the STEREOmode. Your TV will then automatically reproduce either stereo or monaural sound, whichever is broadcast.
In some fringe viewing areas, however, the stereo signal may not be strong enough for quality reception. The signal
may drift, or the reproduction may become noisy. Should that occur, change the STEREO/SAPfunction to the MONO
mode to receive clearer, cleaner sound.
Helpful Hint: Some television stations lransmit 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 appear on the screen next to the channel number, however, you will not be able to hear stereo sound. If the stereo indicator appears but you can not hear stereo sound _check with the television station to inquire whetherthe program being broadcasiis in stereo or monaural audio.

Receiving SAP Broadcasts
Some TV stations that broadcast stereo also broadcast
another audio program called SAP. SAP stands for Second Audio Program and is sometimes used to broadcast a
second audio track for a bilingual movie. Because SAP is only available with stereo broadcasts, the
TV's STEREO/SAPfunction must be in the STEREOmode to see if SAP audio is available. After you have set the
STEREO/SAP function to the STEREOmode, your TV will
display the word STEREOnext to the channel number when stereo audio is being received. If SAP audio is also
available, your TV will display an asterisk (*) after the
word STEREO (STEREO*).
You can then listen to the SAP audio by changing the STEREO/SAPfunction to its SAPsetting as explained below. Although SAP audio is transmitted with the stereo signal,
it is not broadcast in stereo. That means the SAP audio will.be monaural sound.
Your TV will reproduce SAP audio until you change channels.

Expanded Stereo
Your TV includes an Expanded Stereo feature which adds greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. Your TV ,electronically increases the audio separation perception of the speakers so you perceive an "expanded" more spacious
..stereo sound effect. Although you can easily turn the expanded stereo feature
on and off as desired, you may prefer to leave it turned on. 'That way your TV will automatically process and expand
the stereo signals whenever a stereo broadcast is received (or whenever a stereo tape is played through a stereo VCR
,connected to the TV's audio/video jacks labeled INPUT).
Because this feature expands stereo sound, it processes only stereo signals. If a TV program is broadcast in mono instead of stereo, your TV will automatically reproduce monaural audio. You will not be able to hear Expanded Stereo because expansion has no effect on monaural audio.
Stereo expansion enhances the ambience of music and program.material. Dramatic effects of spatial enhancement
can be experienced with music. Talk shows with
background crowd noise also benefit from expansion by
engulfing the listener ina wider sound field than would be experienced without expanded stereo. The effect will vary
with progra m material. The perception ofgreater stereo separation is created by
cancelling the cross-coupled sound from the right speaker that arrives at the left ear (and .the left speaker that arrives at the right Jar). Like stereo headphones, stereo _expansion isolates the left and right signals that arrive at the ears. As
a result,, the speakers seem to be farther away from the TV.
Notes: The Expanded Stereo feature .will have no effect unless the program is broadcast .in stereo.
When the Expanded Stereo feature is turned on, some sound will be heard from each speaker regardless of the BALANCEcontrol setting.

VCR Channel Setup
The VCR1 CHANfunction 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/VIDEOOUTjacks to the TV's INPUT1jacks (as shown onpage 42), 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 VCR1CHANfunction, the TV will automatically tune to channel 91 each time you press the VCR1button on the remote.
This function is especially convenient if you have a compatible VCR that can be operated by the VCR1button on the remote. Pressing VCR1will 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 VCRs to
. respond to the vcm button as described onpage 27.
The VCR2CHANfunction works the same way. It lets you
program to which channel the TV will automatically tune
when you press the VCR2button on the remote. You can

ChangingAntenna Input
Your TV has two separate antenna inputs on the back
(labeled ANTAand ANTB) that allow you to connect two different signal sources if desired. For example, you can connect a cable-TV system to one input and a home antenna to the other input.
By pressing the ANTENNAbutton on the remote control, you can switch back and forth between the two signal sources.
Listed below are some other common uses of the two antenna inputs:
I Connecting a cable-TV system (or antenna) to one input and a
VCR to the other.
Connecting a cable-TV system (or antenna) to one input and a video game to the other.
3
Connecting a double-trunk cable system to both inputs.
4
Connecting a cable-TV converter/decoder box that scrambles
only premium channels and cannot be controlled by remote control. Connection details are on pages 37-38.
The Channel Memory. is the list of channel numbers your TV will stop on when you press the CHANNELup or down buttons. Your TV provides two separate channel memories
(one for ANTAinput and one for ANTBinput). This allows you to add or delete channels into each channel memory as
desired.

Cable Box Channel Setup
The CABLECHANfunction lets you program to which channel the TV will automatically tune when you press the
DSS.CABLEbutton 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 35), 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 CABLECHANfunction, the TV will automatically tune to that channel each time you press the
CABLEbutton on the remote.
This function is especially convenient if you have a remote-controllable cable box that can be operated by the DSS-ABLEbutton on the remote as described on page 39. Pressing the DSS.CABLEbutton 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.
Setting Up Cable Box Channel
with or withoutremote
1 Repeatedly press the MENUbutton to select SETUPMENUand
then press + to display the setup functions.
2 Repeatedly press MENUto select the CABLECHANfunction.
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 CABLEbutton 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.
4 Press the + button to program the channel number you
selected into the CABLE CHAN function memory.
Note: Pressing the - button here will turn off this feature and
display CABLECHAN: OFFagain.

VCR.
2 Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to
enter the code number for your brand of VCR.
4 Release the VCR1button and point the remote at the VCR.
Press the POWERbutton to test the code number. If nothing happens, try pressing VCR1or 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 VCRt(or VCR2)and then POWER.Some VCRs turn on automatically when you press VCR1or YCR2. 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 VCR2),then POWER.To change channels on the VCR, press VCR1(or VCR2),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 reprogram 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 VCRINCR2.LOfeature 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
CompatibleComponents
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 the component's owner's manual for the
manufacturer's recommended hookup instructions.
PositioningComponentsonShelves
To ensure the best performance from your components, follow these general guidelines when arranging them on the shelves of a component compartment.
Amplifiers, receivers, and VCRs generate heat during operation, so special care should be 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.
Pluggingin Power 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. 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 ProScan 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.
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
Clearance above other components. ff 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 ff they are placed too close to the TV. The ProScan cabinets have a. built-in interference barrier to help eliminate thi s type .of
interference. 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 power cords into different wall sockets.
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.
Position Cablesto 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, audiohum 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. _,_
PositionSpeakerstoAvoid Interference _
Placing external speakers with unshielded magnets too _
.close to the TV may result in the speaker magnets affecting ....
the quality of the p[cture. Such speakers should be located at least eight inches away.
If unshielded speakers are ioo close to the TV, 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.. The ProScan SPK060 speakers are completely shielded
and can be positioned next to the TV without affecting the picture.

Cable-TV Operation
Your new TV is designed to receive up to 181 channels in
the U.S.A. including 125 non-scrambled cable channels (see chart at lower right). To use this TV with a cable-TV
system, confirm that the cable-TV system is properly connected to your TV. Since cable systems 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.

ScrambledCable-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 descrambler 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 will want to connect it as shown in Diagram B on
page 3Z Instructions for programming the TV's remote to
control the cable box ate on page 39. If your cable box cannot be controlled by remote control,
you will still be able to remotely switch between a scrambled channel and unscrambled channels with the
connection shown in Diagram (7 on page 37 o1"in
Diagram D on page 38.
The chart below lists the "total" broadcast (off-air) and cable channel count.

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 channel s 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.

This is not a common application for recording with your VCR, but you may find it useful in certain situations. You'll also be able to record signals from another VCR (or similar device) that is connected to the TV's INPUT1or INPUT2jacks.
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 VCRs. By connecting one VCR (or camcorder) to the INPUT1jacks and another VCR (or camcorder) to the INPUT2jacks, you'll be able to

Connecting External Speakers
ConnectingSpeakersto Backof TV
If you connect an Amplifier or Receiver to your TV, you
can connect the speakers to the Amplifier/Receiver instead of the TV.
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 sound from the TV. The diagram below shows how to connect external
speakers to the terminals on the back of the TV. 1 If necessary, remove the vinyl covering from the ends of
the speaker wire and twist the wire core.
2 Press and hold down the lever of the speaker terminal
while inserting the wire core into the hole. Be sure to connect (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) (explained below).
3 Release the lever.
EXTERNAL SPEAKERS
The speaker switch on the back of the TV changes how the TV's amplifier drives the speakers, allowing you to use the external speakers two ways:
To enhance the sound from the TV's speakers, 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 and turns off the TV's internal speakers.
SPEAKER
EXT _ INT_XT
SURR
To obtain a "surround sound" effect, place the external
speakers in the rear of the viewing area, and slide the speaker switch to INT/EWrSURR. This provides full power to the TV's internal speakers for the front sound and a surround signal.to the rear speakers. Do not use the SPK060 speakers for thistype of setup. They are designed
to be used close to the TV.
. Back of R gh Speaker . Back of TV E}ack of Left Speaker
Notes: After releasing the lever, pull gently on.the wire and check that it is cgnnected 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.
Important: When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you connect the (+) terminal on the TV to the (+) terminal on the speaker. One side
of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white stripe to help you
connect (+) to (+) and (-:) to (-). If the (+) and (-) terminals are not matched properly, the speakers w!li not be "in phase" causing reduction
in low frequencies Co_tss).
Caution; Do not connect external speakers to moi'e than one audio
source at a time. You can connect a set of speakers to either the TV or the.
amplifier but not "toboth at the same time. If you connect the same
speakers to both the TV.and the amplifier (or to more than onc sct of terminals), you will probably damage your equipment.
SPEAKER
EXT E INI_EXT
Helpful Hints: Externa.l 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 im_oved 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.

ConnectingSpeakers toBack of Amplifier or Receiver
If you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV as described on page 44, 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. If desired, you can turn off the TV's internal speakers with the SPEAKERSON/OFF function
described on page 12.
The diagram below 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 below.
1st Set of Speakers
Connect to A Terminals
(Optional)
2nd Set of Speakers
Connect to B Terminals
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 termin_tl or contact other wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other_ damage to
components could result. "
, Important: When connecting the speaker.wire, make sure you connect
the (+) terminal on the amplifier or receiver to the (+) terminal on the speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white
stripe, to help you connect (+) to (+) and (-) to (-). If the (+) and (-)
terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be "in phase"
causing rcduc!ion in low frequencies (bass).
Caution: Donot 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
_pcakcrs to both the TV and the amplifier (or to more than one set of
terminals), you will probably damage your equipment.'

Care and Cleaning
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting attachment for your vacuum cleaner. Be
sure to occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
To clean the faceplate (screen) of the picture tube, use a
nonabrasive glass cleaner with a soft cloth. Oily foods like peanut butter can be effectively cleaned from the
faceplate with glass cleaners. Do not use furniture polish on the TV cabinet or
faceplate of the picture tube. Because textured finishes are porous, using furniture polish could mar their
appearance. They can be easily cleaned with a damp, soft cloth. Furniture polish is probably the most difficult material to clean off a picture tube under
normal conditions. To remove furniture polish from the TV screen, use 100% isopropyl alcohol (a component
in most glass cleaners) with a soft cloth. While cleaning, do not allow liquid, to run down the
screen and inside the instrument. Also avoid placing drinks or vases with Water on top of your TV.
When turning the set on after cleaning the faceplate, there ma3i be some rainbow effects if the screen is not completely dry.

channel 91 or 92. Repeatedly press the INPUTbutton on the master remote or press two number buttons.
Select channel 91 if the other video source is connected to the TV's
INPUT 1 jacks.
Select channel 92 if the other video source is connected to the TV's
INPUT 2 jacks.
