Introduction
Key Features Overview
Your TV/DVD is equipped wi|h features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following information
summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 4 provides more intk_rmation about the rest of the TV/DVD's features and how
to use them.
Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System
The Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System incorporates two of RCA's most advanced technologies: "lYuScan Digital Reality and
the AVRPicture Projection System. The result is the ultimate in true-to-life picture performance that provides the optimum
picture resolution from each digital source connected to your TV/1)VD (off-air, DVD, satellite, and/or cable).
TruScan Digital Reality
Picture performance starts with signal processing. TruScan Digital Realily intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming
vide() signals and progressively converts lhem to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It enhances tlle picture
quality and makes you feel as if you're close to the real thing. It also recognizes when original fihn sources have been
modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail -- a process
commonly ret_..rred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.
AVR Picture Projection System
The Accurate Visual Reality high definition picture proiection sys_m o_rs a brighter picture _an conventional CRTs
(cathode ray tubes). These tubes create brilliant, lifelike fidelity'. The AVR 4 lens system is designed to complement lhe
CR'Es, providing accurate coloi=s and razor sharp focus on evely part of the screen.
DVI-HDTV Input
Lets you connect a component with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. DVI provides an uncompressed, digital video
interface developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports lhe overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by
some electronic program guide navigation and olher interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) technology', creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV connection is designed to
display eilher progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidlh of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.
SRS TruSurround XT TM and SRS Dialog Clarity TM
TmSurround XT solves the problem of playing multichannel content over two speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual
surround sound experience through any internal television speakei=s. Dialog Clarity, a feature of TruSurround XT, makes
dialog from the source material clearer.
MP3 Audio Disc Playback
Description: Your DVD player can play" compatible MP3 audio files recorded on CD-R discs.
Requirements= The discs must be recorded on compatible equipment (Chapter 3 has derails) and the DVD player must be on.
The On-Screen DVD Information Display
Description: The Into Display is an on-screen banner that provides access to certain l)atures while you're playing a disc'.
Icons represent the different R.'atums supported by your TV/DVD when in DVD mode. By selecting different lnfo Display
icons, you can access features including Repeat, Audio, Subtitles and Camera Angle.
Requirements: Put your TV/1)VD in DVD mode and insert a disc into the disc tray. Once the disc starts playing, press
INFO to view the Intk) Display.

¢onn ctiQns Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any" of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the TV/DVD and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the hnportant Safety
Instructions on page 1.
Protect Components from Overheating
• I)on't block ventilation holes on any of the components. An'ange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on file top shelf so file heated air from it
won't flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV/DVD, route all cables down the side of the back of the
TV/DVD instead of straight down the middle of the TV/DVD.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your TV/DVD carefully. Place the TV/DVD on a stand or base that is of
adequate size and strenglh to prevent the TV/DVD from being accidentally tipped over, pushed
off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV/DVD. Refer to the
Important Safety Instructions on page 1.
Use Indirect Light
I)on't place the TV/DVD where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use
soft or indirect lighting.

TV/DVD + A/V Receiver or Speakers
These are two different ways your TV/DVD uses a component to hear audio.
1. Connect audio cables to either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO L and R OUTFUT jacks and
to the Audio Inputs on the A/V receiver.
• FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the TV/DVD. This audio output is
ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver that has its own volume con_ol.
• VARIABLEprovides variable-level audio oulput. Volume levels can be con_olled by
the volume controls on the TV/DVD's front panel and remote control.
-OR-
2. Use speaker wire Io connect the TV/DVD to external speakers.
• The EXT/INT switch beside the iacks let you turn the TV/DVD's internal speakers
on or off. If you connecl external speakei:s, slide the switch to EXT so the audio is
sent to lhe external speakei:s only. Choosing INT sends the audio to the TV/DVD's
speakers only.
Note: The external speaker rating is 8 ohmswith 15 watts power handling capabilities.

separately for that input as well. Tune to the
input you're using for the HD source, then go to
page 48 for information on Auto convergence.
You don't need to run Auto convergence
separately for the internal DVD player- the
procedure for the TV covers the internal DVD
player as well.
Auto Convergence
Your TV/DVD's piaure tubes might have been disturbed during delivery" or
after you moved llle TV/1)VD, causing llle color in your TV/DVD to be out of
alignment. The colcms adjust by starting auto convergence.
IMPORTANE" Auto convergence works best once the TVIDVD has warmed
up for at least an hour If you've just unpacked your TV/DVD, it's a good
idea to repeat the Auto convergence function when the TV/DVD's been
running for at least an hour Seepage 48 for more information about Auto
convergence.
