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

• Enter channel 92 if your VCR is connected to the TV's audio and video

INPUT 2 jacks.

• Enter channel 90 if you have a Super-VHS VCR that is connected to the TV's S-VIOEOconnector and INPUT1 audio jacks (labeled L and

R[MONO).

• Enter channel 03 (or 04) if you did not use any audio/video cables and connected the VCR to the TV's round antenna connector labeled

CABLE/ANTENNA. Enter the same channel number (03 or 04) asthe

position of the VCR's CH3/CH4 switch. This is the channel to which you must tune your TV for viewing signals from your VCR.

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.

Connecting a double-trunk cable system to both inputs.

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.

*To tune cable channels 100 through 128, press and hold number button

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.

Your TV can also be used as a display device for many

laser disc players, video games, and home computers. If your game or computer has a normal NTSC (American Standard) video output, it can be connected directly to either the INPUT1or INPUT2jacks on the TV as shown here.

If the computer or other device has monaural audio output (only one AUDIOOUTjack instead of Land R), connect it to the TV's R/MONOjack. This will enable the TV to reproduce the sound through both the left and right

speakers.

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.
