Getting Started

First-Time Operation (continued)

Adjust PICTURE TILT 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 POLARITY and STRENGTH

switches 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 STRENGTH switch is in the OFF position as the diagram shows.

2. Move the STRENGTH switch to the LOW position. If this improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the

STRENGTH switch to the HIGH position. This should correct the situation. If moving the STRENGTH switch

makes the tilt worse, go to the next step.

3. Change the position of the POLARITY switch. If this

improves the tilt but it is still not satisfactory, move the STRENGTH switch to the HIGH position. This should

correct the situation.

You may need to reset the POLARITY and STRENGTH switches if the TV is moved or repositioned in the room, especially if the TV will be facing a different direction.

Controlling Your TV

Remote Control Operation

Before attempting to operate your remote control, install the batteries

as shown here.

Your remote control is designed to be very rugged and will withstand a

considerable drop. If it receives an

extreme blow, the case is designed to slightly separate at the seam

rather than fracture. If this happens, simply squeeze the case where it separated until it snaps back together. The operation of the remote will probably not be

affected.

Only the remote buttons that are used to control the TV are described

here. The rest of the buttons are used to operate VCRs and cable-TV

boxes as described on pages 23 and

29.

Installing/Replacing Batteries

1. Turn the remote control face down.

2. Press down on the ridged area of

the battery cover and slide it off.

3. Install four "AAA" batteries in the battery compartment as shown.

Make sure you match the + end of each battery to the + end of the battery compartment.

4. Replace the cover and turn remote

over-face up.

Notes:

• The remote control produces an invisible (infrared) beam that travels in

a straight line similar to the beam of a flashlight. For this reason, when

operating the remote control, you must

point it directly at the front of the TV without objects between that can block

the infrared light beam.

Never place anything heavy on top of the remote control or lay it upside- down. This may accidentally depress

the bunons for a long time and

discharge the batteries.

• Replace the batteries when the TV fails to respond to the remote control.

If you programmed your remote to control other components, you may

have to reprogram the code numbers

when you change the batteries. Try not to press any buttons while changing

batteries.

the + and - buttons on the front of the TV become the volume adjustment buttons.

Via remote control, your TV will "remember" which function you displayed last-even after the menu has disappeared from the screen. So, if you want to adjust the same function again, simply press the + or - button on the remote control. The last function you adjusted will reappear on the TV screen.

The PICTURE RESET function lets you quickly change all the

video functions (shown above) back to the factory settings. Press

either + or - to reset the video functions.

Adjusting for a Color Picture that Pleases You

1. Decrease color to minimum. This will leave a black-and-

white image on the screen.

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 something you're sure is black to make this adjustment. Be careful not to lose the details in darkly shaded areas.

4. Increase color until you reach a 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.)

Custom Picture Memory for Input Channels The input channels are the channel numbers you select to see

signals from components (like a VCR) that are connected to the INPUT jacks on the back of the TV. Selecting channel 90 lets you see the signal coming from whatever component is attached to the S-VIDEO connector, channel 91 lets you see the signal from the INPUT 1jacks, and channel 92 lets you see the signal from the INPUT 2 jacks. 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 settings of any other channel. This is very useful because you'll be able to adjust for the best picture from each of your

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

The STEREO/SAP function lets you choose either MONO (monaural), STEREO, or SAP audio (if available) by pressing + or -. When a station is

broadcasting stereo and the STEREO/SAP function is set to STEREO, the stereo indicator (STEREO) will appear on the screen before the channel

number. Normally you can leave the STEREO/SAP function set to STEREO and your TV will then automatically reproduce either monaural or

stereo audio-whichever is broadcast. Some TV stations that broadcast stereo also broadcast another sound channel called SAP (Second Audio

Program) which is sometimes used to offer the program in another language. Your TV lets you know when SAP audio is available by

displaying an asterisk (,) on the screen after the stereo indicator like this (STEREO*). If you want to listen to the SAP channel when the asterisk

appears, change the STEREO/SAP function to its SAP setting. The SAP setting will only appear in the function when SAP is available. Your TV will then reproduce the SAP audio until you change channels or return the

STEREO/SAP function back to STEREO. Note: Some TV stations transmit a "pilot" signalthat makes your TV think it's

receiving stereo, even though the broadcast signal is monaural. The pilot signalwill make the stereo indicator (STEREO)appear on the screennext tothe channel number, however, you willnot be able tohear stereo sound. Ifthis happens, check
