this plug. If you need an extension cord, make sure it is polar-

ized.

Caution: To prevent electric shock, do not use the
polarized plug on this TV with an extension cord,

or other outlet unless both blades can

y inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

To turn on the TV, press the TVbutton on the master
remote or press the POWERbutton on the simple remote.
When using the remote, remember to point it at the

front of the TV.

2 Press the VOLUMEup or down button to adjust the vol-

ume to a desired level.
Press the CHANNELup or down button to select the next

channel in memory. You can also press two number
buttons to select a channel. Channels 2-13 and 91 were

programmed into the channel memory at the factory, so
pressing CHANNELup or down stops at these channels
only. When you start the autoprogramming feature
(described next), your set will automatically scan
through all channels and place the active channels for
your area into its channel memory.

AdjustPICTURETILTswitches ifnecessary.

Select models have an extra large color
picture tube. The effects of geomagnetism

(Earth's magnetic field) may cause the
picture to tilt slightly. The POLARITYand

STRENGTHswitches on the back of the TV

let you compensate for this effect. If the
picture appears tilted, follow these steps to

improve it.

1

Make sure the STRENGTHswitch is in the OFFposition as
the diagram shows.

2 Move the STRENGTHswitch to the LOWposition. If this

improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the
STRENGTHswitch to the HIGHposition. This should cor-
rect the situation. If moving the STRENGTHswitch makes
the tilt worse, go to the next step.

3 Change the position of the POLARITYswitch. If this

improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the

STRENGTHswitch to the HIGHposition. This should cor-

rect the situation.

You may need to reset the POLARITYand STRENGTHswitches
if the TV is moved or repositioned in the room, especially
if the TV will be facing a different direction.

EffectiveRangeof RemoteControls

Before attempting to operate either one of the remote controls,
install the batteries as shown below.

Installing/ReplacingBatteries

1 Turn each remote control face down.

2 Press down on the ridged area of each battery cover and slide

them off.

Aim either remote control at your TV's remote control sen-
sor. The remote controls produce an invisible (infrared)

beam that travels in a straight line much like the beam of a
flashlight. For this reason, when operating either one of the
remote controls, you must point it directly at the front of the

TV without objects between that can block the infrared light
beam.

3 Install the "AAA" batteries in each compartment as shown.

4 Replace the covers and turn remotes over (face up).

Notes: Replace the batteries when the TV fails to respond to the remote
control.

If you programmed your master remote to control other components, you
may have to reprogram the code numbers when you change batteries.

Try not to press any buttons while changing batteries.
Never place anything heavy on top of the remote control or lay it upside-

down. This may accidentally depress the buttons for a long time and dis-
charge the batteries.

CustomPictureMemoryfor Input Channels

The channel numbers you select to seesignals from com-
ponents (like a VCR) that are connected to the INPUTjacks

on the back of the TV are called input channels. Selecting
channel 90 lets you see the signal coming from whatever

component is attached to the S-VIDEOconnector, channel 91
lets you see the signal from the INPUT1jacks, and channel

92 lets you see the signal from the INPUT2jacks. 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 the set-

tings of any other channel. This is very useful because you

will be able to adjust for the best picture from each of your

components and the TV will remember those settings auto-
matically the next time you tune that input channel.

2 Adjust contrast until the picture pleases you.

3 Adjust brightness until the black parts of the picture appear

black. You may need to wait until the picture shows some-
thing you're sure is black. Be careful not to lose the details in
darkly shaded areas.

4 Increase color until you reach z pleasing level of intensity.

5 Adjust tint until flesh tones or other color objects appear

natural.

6 Adjust sharpness for a pleasing level of picture sharpness.

(For weak signals, the picture may be more pleasing with
sharpness decreased.)

Caution: When using TV games, computers, and similar products with
your "IV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a
fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time

at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently
imprinted onto the screen. These ty[x.s of imprints are not covered by

your warranty because they are the result of misuse.

__!_!

The EQUALIZERfunction lets you display an on-screen

graphic equalizer so you can remotely adjust audio

bandwidths for different environments or individual tastes.

Adjusting the graphic equalizer is primarily a matter of
personal taste. The adjustments can be thought of as more
precise tone controls that allow certain characteristics of

the audio to be changed without affecting others. For
example, if someone enjoys sharp, clean horns (brass),

increasing the 4.5 kHz control can bring them out. Using a
conven.tional treble control would also increase vocals and
high-frequency noise, which might be an undesirable

side-effect.

The equalizer also gives control of the center range that
bass and treble controls do not affect. Since vocal

frequencies are in these center ranges, tone controls have
little effect on them. The center bands not only give
control of vocals, but allow selective vocal ranges to be
controlled. For example, reducing the 400 Hz and 1 kHz
bands can soften a strident male vocalist, and increasing
the 2 kHz and 4.5 kHz controls can bring a subtle female
voice forward. Adjusting the 1 kHz and 2 kHz bands can

add intelligibility to a speaker or singer under certain
circumstances.

Adjusting Graphic Equalizer

1 Press the MENU button repeatedly to select the AUDIO MENU

and then press + to display the audio menu.

2 The EQUALIZERfunction is selected since it is the first

item in the AUDIOMENU.

3 Press + or - to enter the function and display the various

bandwidths on the screen.

The equalizer can also be used to compensate for either
deficiencies or excesses in the way the system or room

reproduces the music. Most common problems are "dull"

and "live" rooms that have too little or too much treble and
"live" rooms of certain sizes that have standing waves that
boom. Experimentation can help find the nearest band to

correct such problems. A room with a sofa and many

drapes, for example, might benefit from increasing the

4.5 kHz and 10 kHz bands. Live rooms with wood floors

and few furnishings commonly boom or resonate in the

upper bass range. Adjusting the 150 Hz band could control

that without taking away good, deep bass that a

conventional bass control would reduce.

4 Repeatedly press MENUto select the bandwidth you want

to adjust.

5 Press + to boost the amplitude, or press - to cut (lower)

the amplitude.

6 When finished, the display will disappear automatically

in a few seconds if no buttons are pressed. To exit the
graphic equalizer more quickly, press the CLEARbutton.

60 Hz...Gives these low, "real" bass sounds more or less
impact. This area is where many systems and/or programs

are weak. Increasing this control can overcome such
deficiencies, lowering it can reduce "muddiness".

150 Hz...Affects the loudness of bass. These mid-bass
frequencies sound the loudest, and most systems reproduce

them well. Increasing the control gives the bass more
"punch", lowering it can help reduce "booming".

400 I-Iz...Affects the fullness of some instruments and

lower vocals. Since this is the basic frequency range of

music, increasing this control adds fullness to these
sounds, reducing it makes them sound thinner.

1 kHz...Strongly affects the "forwardness" and "presence"
of vocals and most instruments. Increasing this control can
help project these sounds or make a vocalist easier to

understand. Reducing it can soften strident music.

2 kHz...Strongly affects the harmonics (overtones) of
voices and some instruments. This frequency is most
easily heard by the ear. Increasing this control will project
most instruments and vocals; reducing it helps control

brilliance and allows more :subtle sounds in the other
ranges to be heard.

4.5 kI-Iz...Affects harmonics (overtones) of voices and
some instruments, particularly brass and strings.

Increasing this control makes these instruments and vocals
sharper and brighter. Reducing it can help control

excessively "lispy" vocals or shrill instruments.

10 kI-Iz...Affects the highest, most delicate harmonics of
some instruments such as strings and the overall content of
others such as cymbals and drum snares. Increasing this
control brings out this "cri,;pness" in cymbals and
"sweetness" in strings and gives the music "atmosphere".
Reducing it can help control noise and hiss.

ili:_i!ii_!,,ii!iii_

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/SAPfunction 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

raonaural sound, whichever is broadcast.

may drift, or the reproduction may become noisy. Should

that occur, change the S_REO/SAPfunction to the MONO

raode to receive clearer, cleaner sound.

Ilelpful Hint: Some television stations transmit 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
whether the program being broadcast is in true 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/SAPfunction 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*).

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 in a wider sound field than would be
experienced without expanded 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 arrives at the left ear (and the left speaker that arrives

at the fight ear). 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 featurewill 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.

Place rear (surround) speakers as shown above. We

recommend elevating them to about standing head height

for a better surround output. Connect them to the speaker

terminals on the back of the TV labeled SURROUND

SPEAKERS.

Note: If you can not get enough volume out of the set as it is
connected in the above diagram you can connect the HIFIOUTjacks on

the back of the TV to an amplifier with its own speakers. This would
replace the internal speakers (or the speakers connected to the

EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals). You can also connect the SURROUT

YourTV remembers which channelsare in memory untilyou

erase them or until you autoprogram channels again. Extended
power failures have no effect on the channel memory.

Notes: The AutoProgramming feature will place into memory active
channels that have a valid signal at the time you autoprogram your TV.
An active channel may be missed occasionally if its signal is very weak

or if the channel happens to be "off the air" when the "IV is
autoprogrammed. An inactive channel may be included in the channel
memory if there happens to be some sort of "noise" or "stray signal" on
the channel when the TV is autoprogrammed.

Signals from sources connected to the INPUTjacks can not be
autoprogrammed. Channel 91 (which accesses INPUT I jacks) was added
to the Channel Memory at the factory and will remain in the Channel
Memory until you erase it. Channel 92 (INPUT 2) and Channel 90

(S-VIDEO connector) can be added to Channel Memory if desired.
Details are on page 24. Because of memory limitations, channels above
99 can not be stored in channel memory.

Adding Video Input Channels to Channel Memory

with or without remote

As an added convenience, you can also add video input
channels (90, 91, and 92) to memory. If you have a video
device such as a VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, etc.)
connected to the S-VIDEOor INPUTjacks on the back of the TV,
you can view its signal either by directly selecting Channel 90

(for S-VIDEOconnector), Channel 91 (for INPUT1), or Channel
92 (for INPUT2) with the number buttons or by adding those

channels to the Channel Memory.
Adding Channels 90, 91, and 92 to the Channel Memory
allows access to the video inputs at the TV by pressing the
CHANNELup or down buttons as well as by using the remote

control.

Changing Antenna Input

_bur 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:

1 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 adouble-trunkcable 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 42-43.

The Channel Memory is the list of channel numbers your
TV will stop on when you press the CHANNELup or down

The vCR1CHANfunction lets you program to which channel
the TV will automatically tune when you press the vcm
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 AUDIONIDEO ouTjacks
to the TV's INPUTOjacks (as shown on page 46), you will
no longer have to remember to sdect 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 vcal button on

the remote.
This function is especially convenient if you have a

compatible VCR that can be operated by the VCR1button on

your VCR to your TV.

Cable Box Channel Setup

The CABLECHANfunction lets you program to which channel
the TV will automatically tune when you press the CABLE
button on the remote. This is handy if you have to connect
a ,:able 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, ff you connect a cable box to the TV's

CABLE/ANTENNAconnector (as shown on page 42), you will

no longer have to remember to select channel 2, 3, or 4 on
tee 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

_BLE button on the remote.

This function is especially convenient if you have a

re,mote-controllable cable box that can be operated by the
CABLEbutton on the remote as described on page 44.
Pressing the 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

that works.

1 Press VCR1or VCR2button 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 IDbutton on remote.

Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to
enter the code number for your brand of VCR. You must
press the two number buttons within three seconds of

pressing ID.

Point the remote at the VCR and press the OFF/ONbutton to
test the code number. If nothing happens, try pressing vcaa
or yea2 (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 OFF/ONbutton. 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 VCR1(or vca2) and then OFF/ON.Some VCRs

turn on automatically when you press Yen1 or 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". To turn offthe VCR, press VCR1(or
VCR2),then OFF/ON. 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 vcavvca2 feature 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.

General CableInformation

Antenna (or cable-TV) connections are made with either

coaxial antenna cable or twin-lead cable. Coaxial cables
are shielded so they are less susceptible to hum or

interference from adjacent cables.

The following accessories are available from most ProScan
dealers and electronics supply stores in case you want to

position your components farther apart or need additional
cables.

Color-CodedJacks

The jacks on the "IV's monitor panel are color-coded for
ease of use. The VIDEOjacks are yellow, the right AUDIO

jiacks are red, and the left AUDIOjacks are white. When

connecting components to each other, be sure that you
always connect left outputs to left inputs and right outputs

_Ioright inputs. If a component has only one output
(menu), connect it to the R/MONOINPUTjack.

To connect S-VHS (Super-V/IS) components, an S-VHS
video cable is required.

CompatibleComponents

PlugginginPower Cords

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.

PositioningComponentson Shelves

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.
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.
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
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.

Do not plug any power cord into a wall outlet until you are
finished making connections.

Many components have "convenience outh;ts" 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.

PositionCablesto AvoidHum

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, 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 TK. Round, coaxial, antenna cable is

usually shielded and can be coiled or placed next to

audio/video cables without causing interference.

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 - TV's, VCRs, audio systems, computers, etc.

PositionSpeakersto AvoidInterference

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 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.

Follow one of the steps below to connect an indoor or outdoor antenna to your TV if you do not have a cable-TV system.

A. if your home antenna cable is a 75-ohm, round, coaxial cable that carries only VHF (channels 2-13),

only UHF (channels 14-69), or VHF and UHF channels, connect it to your set like this:

Remember to tune the VCR to

converter box (usually 2, 3, or 4).

Most cable companies that require use of a converter/decoder
box only require the box for scrambled premium channels

like HBO or Showtime. All the other cable-TV channels can
usually be viewed without the converter box. Therefore, by

using a signal splitter, you can send the incoming cable-TV
:;ignals directly to the "IV and also thru the converter/decoder

box and VCR as shown above.

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

The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be
seen whenever the TV is receiving the ANTAsignals. The

cable-TV channels that are scrambled can then be seen thru
the converter box and then thru the VCR whenever the TV is

receiving the ANTS signals. Most VCRs will feed the signal
thru their antenna jacks even when the VCR is turned off.
This allows you to 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 are
watching a non-scrambled channel thru the ANTAjack on the

TV.

For picture-in-picture viewing, be sure to also connect the
audio/video cables from the VCR to the TV as shown on

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

'I'V.

]ifyour cable company offers cable channels 90, 91, or 92

you can tune them by selecting the TV channels shown

below.

ScrambledCable-TVChannels

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 42. Instructions for programming the TV's remote to

control the cable box are on page 44.
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 C on page 42 or in

Diagram D on page 43.

The chart below lists the "total" broadcast (off-ai 0 and cable
channel count.

90 126"
91 127"

92 128"

*To tune cable channels 100 through 128, press and hold number button
1 until 1-- appears on the screen. Then enter the other two numbers.

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 channels 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.

** VHF is only counted once in total channel count because you can

receive channels 2-13 on both "off-air" and "cable" channels.

Therefore the total channel count for "off-air" and "cable" is 181
channels (68+125-12=181).

*** Channels 95, 96, and 97 are not applicable in Canada. Therefore

the total number of channels for Canada is 178 (68+122-12=178).

directly below the terminals) to the EXTERNALposition.

When the SPEAKERswitch is in the EXTERNALposition, the
TV's internal speakers are turned off and sound will then
come through the external speakers you connected to the

EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals. Return this switch to the

iNTERNALposition if external speakers are ever disconnected

from the TV.

If you want to connect an amplifier to your TV with its
own set of speakers attached to it, you can turn off the

TV's speakers with the SPEAKERSON/OFFmenu display as

described on page 11. Setting this display to OFFwill turn
off the TV's internal speakers and any speakers connected

to the EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals. Speakers connected to
the SURROUNDSPEAKERSterminals will remain on, so you'll
be able to create surround sound effects when using the

amplifier.

Caution: Do not 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
speakers to both the TV and the amplifier

(or to more than one set of terminals), you
will probably damage your equipment.

ConnectingSpeakerstoBack ofAmplifier or Receiver

If you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, connect
the speakers to the amplifier/receiver instead of the TV.
Sound from the TV will then come through the
amplifier/receiver. You can also connect additional
surround speakers to the back of the TV, if desired.

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.

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 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 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 reduction in low frequencies (bass).

If you connect an Amplifier or Receiver to your TV,
connect the speakers to the Amplifier/Receiver instead of

to the TV, if desired.
If you do not connect an Amplifier or Receiver to your TV,

you can connect external speakers to the TV to enhance
sound from the TV.

The diagram at the right shows how to connect external
speakers to the terminals on the back of the TV.

If necessary, remove the
vinyl covering from the
ends of the speaker wire

and twist the wire core.

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults" that you
can easily correct without the help of a service technician by
first checking a few basic remedies.

Before you call or take your unit to an Authorized ProScan

TV Servicenter, look below for the type of trouble you are

experiencing. Then perform the simple checks and
adjustments listed for that trouble.

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 like Windex brand or Glass Plus

brand, with a soft cloth. Oily foods like peanut butter can
be effectively cleaned from the faceplate with glass

cleaners.

Do not use furniture polish onthe TVcabinetor faceplate
of the picture tube. Because texturedfinishes 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 cleanoff a

picture tubeunder normal conditions. To remove furniture
polish from the TV screen, use 100% isopropyl alcohol (a
componentin 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

may be some rainbow effects if the screen is not

completely dry.
