Power Interruption Protection Feature
In the first few months of operation, it is normal for your TV to occasionally shut down and immediately turn itself on
again. The picture tube in this TV (as in all TV's) operates at a very high voltage and at times may arc internally. Your TV will recognize what is happening and will automatically shut down. This protects the TV's memory from locking up or, in
some cases, being erased. After a shut down occurs, the following message will briefly appear on the screen.
Note: This message will also be displayed briefly if power is interrupted due to a loss of power to the TV, such as in an electrical storm or a
brown-out situation.
AdjustPICTURETILT POLARITYand STRENGTH switches if necessary.
This model has an extra large color picture tube. The effects of geomagnetism (Earth's magnetic field) may cause the picture to tilt slightly. The PICTURETILT
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.
PICTURE TILT
STRENGTH
LOW
HIGH
OFF
2 Move the STRENGTH switch to the LOW position. If this
improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the
STRENGTHswitch to the H_GHposition. This should correct the situation. If moving the STRENGTHswitch
makes the tilt worse, return it to the OFFposition and 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 LOW or HIGHposition. This should
correct the situation.
PICTURE TILT
POLARITY
You may need to reset the PICTURETILTPOLARITYand
STRENGTHswitches if the TV is moved or repositioned in the room, especially if the TV will be facing a different
direction.
Note: Picture tilt is the result of the earth's magnetic field in your geographic location. You probably will not need to adjust the picture tilt.

Review menus andotherfeatures.
When you feel comfortable with your TV and remote controls, review the menus. Most of the menus are
shown inside the front cover. You can fold this page out for quick reference while reading the manual.
The Helpfunction on the MAINMENUoffers a variety of help screens to assist you in the connection _md operation of your TV. Details are on page 13.
The rest of this manual can be used as a reference guide
with detailed information about each operating control, menu, and function. There is an alphabetical index in the back for your convenience.
Inside of the back cover is a quick-reference operating
guide. This page is designed so it can be removed from the manual.

Operating RemoteControls
Usingthe RemoteControls
Before attempting to operate either one of the remote
:ontrols, install the batteries as shown below.
Installing]Replacing Batteries 1 Turn each remote control face down.
2 Press down on the ridged area of each battery cover and slide
it off.
Aim either remote control at your TV's remote control sensor. The remote controls produce an invisible (infrared) beam that travels in a straight line much as 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 conlrol.
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
discharge the batteries. Do not mix new and used batteries or different brands of batteries.
If battery leakage occurs, wipe up the liquid inside the compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

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 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.
The equalizer also gives control of the mid-range
frequencies that bass and treble controls do not affect. Since vocal frequencies are in these mid 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.
The equalizer can also be used to compensate for either deficiencies or excesses in the way the system reproduces the audio in your room. Most common problems are
"dull" or "live" rooms that have too little or too much treble, and rooms of certain sizes that have standing waves
that boom. Experimentation can help find the nearest band
o 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.

60Hz 150Hz 400Hz IkHz 2kHz 4.5kHz IOkHz
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". 4013Hz...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.
IkHz...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 kHz...Affects harmonics (overtones) of voices and some instruments, particularly brass and strings. Increasing this control m_&es these instruments and vocals sharper and brighter. Reducing it can help control excessively "lispy" vocals or shrill
instruments. _0 kHz...Affects the highest, most delicate harmonics of some
.nstruments such as strings and the overall content of others such as cymbals and drum snares. Increasing this control brings out this "crispness" in cymbals and "sweetness" in strings and gives the: music "atmosphere". Reducing it can help control noise and
hiss.

Your TV includes an expanded stereo feature which adds greater depth and dimension to stereo broadcasts. Your TV electronically increases the stereo image from the speakers so you perceive an "expanded" more spacious stereo sound effect. 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 a greater stereo image 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 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.
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 or laser disc is played tkrough a stereo VCR or disc player connected to the TV's audio/video jacks labeled INPUT).
You can easily select EXPANDEDSTEREOby repeatedly pressing the SURR(surround) button on the master remote
control. You can also select Stereo expand with the AUDIO MODEmenu as shown in the next column.
Notes: When stereo is being broadcasted and received, the word stereo appears in the channel number display area.

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.
i Press vcal or 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. 3 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 to.
4 Point the remote at the VCR, and press the OFF/ONbutton to
test the code number. If the right number was entered, the VCR should turn on. If the VCR does not react to the
remote, repeat steps 1thru 4 with another code number.
Note: Some older VCR's 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 vcm (or VCR2)and then OFF/ON.
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 change channels on the VCR, press vcm (or vcaz), then CHANNELup or down. To turn off the VCR, press vcm (or VCR2),then OFF/ON. This remote will control the basic functions of compatible VCR's. It will
nm be able to control the advanced functions of all brands of VCR's. You may have to reprogram your remote if you change its batteries.
Notes About Controlling Two VCR's
This remote can control two VCR's independently as long as each VCR operates on a different remote transmitting code. If neither of your VCR's have switchable code capabilities, you still may
be able to use the V.CRINCR2feature to control two VCR's of the same brand since many older VCR's use remote codes that are different than
newer VCR's. You may want to experiment to see what works with yo ar particular VCR' s.

CompatibleComponents
Pluggingin Power Cords
A wide variety of compatible VCR's, camcorders, and
LaserDisc players are available. Check with your dealer
for details.
Other brands of components can also be connected to your TV. Refer to the component owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended hookup instructions.
PositioningComponentson Shelvesin Rack
If you are connecting several components and plan to use a stand or component rack, follow these general rules when
arranging your components. If the components are arranged horizontally, allow at least
an inch or two of space between them so air can circulate freely. This will also provide some space between the
devices to minimize interference. If components are arranged vertically on shelves, place the
stereo amplifier at the top so that heated air rising from it will not pass around the other components.
Do not block the ventilation holes in the components. If components are placed on rugs or deep-pile mats, the w,_ntilation holes in the bottoms may be blocked and overheating could result.
Do not plug your TV's power cord into another component's outlet (switched or unswitched). Your TV
should only be plugged into a wall outlet or suitable power strip outlet.
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 cpmponent'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.
Tt,rn Off 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, VCR's, 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
st:teaks 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.
PositionCablesto 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, audio hum or smeared video may result.
If your antenna cable is flat 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.

Converter/DecoderBox
Remember to tune the VCR to the output channel
of the 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
signals directly to the TV and also through the converter/decoder box and VCR as shown above.
You can easily switch between the signals coming into the
aNTA connector and the ANTBconnector by pressing the ANT
(antenna) button on the master remote control. Antenna B will appear in the channel number display when you are seeing the signal from the ANTBinput.
The cable-TV channels that are not scrambled can then be seen whenever the TV is receiving the ANTA signals. The
cable-TV channels that are scrambled can then be seen through the converter box and then through the VCR
whenever the TV is receiving the ANTBsignals. Most VCR's will feed the signal through 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

Note: You can also connect the VCR's AUDIOand VIDEOOUTjacks to the TV's AUDIOand VIDEOINjacks as shown on page 66. The audio/video connections are necessary for stereo playback from the VCR. To see the signals from the VCR that are going into the TV's INPUTjacks, select TV channel 91 if you connected the VCR to the INPUT 1 jacks or select channel 92 if you connected the VCR to the INPUT2jacks.
(Optional S-VHS VCR's) To take advantage of the S-VHS (Super Video) format, also connect the VCR's S-VHS OUT connector to the
TY's S-VIDEOINPUT1 or 2 connector (the same one to which you connected the normal audio and video). When you select channel 91 or 92, the TV will automatically select S-VHS video if it is available.
This connection can be useful because it will let you record a scrambled channel on the VCR at the same time you are watching an unscrambled channel through the ANTA

ScrambledCable-TVChannels
Some cable companies offer scrambled "premium-pay" channels. 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 62. Instructions for programming the TV's remote to
control the cable box are on page 64. If your cable box can not 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 62 or in
Diagram D on page 63.
The chart below lists the "total" broadcast (off-air) and cable channel count.
Low VHF A-8 (Channel 01) - 1
VHF (Channels 2-13)** L2** 12"*
* 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.
UHF (Channels 14-69) 56 -
Low Midband A-5 thru A-1 (Channels 95-99) *** - 5***
Midband (Channels 14-22 or A-I) - 9
Superband (Channels 23-36 or J-W) - 14
Hyperband (Channels 37-64 or W+I to W+28) - 28
Ultraband (Channels 65-94 and 100-125 or W+29 to W+84)
Total ** 68 125
** 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).

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 the 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.

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, _:he speakers will not be "in phase" causing reduction in low frequencies (bass).
Caution: Do not connect external speakers to more than one audio source at a time. You can
comlect 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

The ProScan NoGlare TM picture tube has a special lithium silicate faceplate that reduces glare. It also includes an anti-static coating to help prevent dust buildup, so the screen will require much less dusting than conventional
TV screens.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting attachment of 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 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 may be some rainbow effects if the screen is not completely dry.
