RGB PC (VGA) - This video input has separate red,

advantage of the superior picture provided by progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

2.8 Conneotinq the S°£ WireLess Surround Sound

The JV50P is the first HDTV to giving a full HD experience by providing beautiful High Definition visual experience and an awesome High Definition 5.1 Surround Sound audible experience.

The front left, right and center channel speakers are fixed below the screen of the JV50P HDTV. The sub-woofer requires only to be connected to a wall socket and then it receives the sound signal

wirelessly from the HDTV. The sub-woofer cabinet contains the amplifier to power the sub-woofer itself plus the rear left and right satellite speakers which are connected to it.

As the low frequency sound from the sub-woofer is not directional it can be placed in a convenient location anywhere in the room. We suggest that you place it on the floor behind the couch where nobody

will trip over the power and speaker cables. On the rear of the sub-woofer cabinet there is a three pronged IEC power connector labeled AC IN to which you should connect the supplied power cable.

There also two connectors on the rear for the satellite speakers labeled SPEAKER, the red connector (RS) for the red plug on the right speaker wire and the white connector (LS) for the white plug on the left speaker wire. The

satellite speaker cabinets have keyhole slots in the rear for easy mounting on the wall behind the couch, (screws and wall plugs

are not included), or you may choose to place them on speaker stands, (not included).

Although the wireless system will operate without any setup as shipped from the factory, it is not dedicated to your HDTV and it is possible that it would pick-up the audio from your neighbor's

TV if they are lucky enough and purchase a JV50P as well! We advise you to dedicate your wireless system to your TV by following the Pairing Procedure to

devices to each other using the button on the rear of the sub-woofer labeled CH-SEARCH, PAIRING.

Usinq a Cabte or SatetUte Remote

Your VlZtO remote uses codes 11758 and 10178 to work your Plasma HDTV. To use a cable or satellite remote to work the Plasma HDTV, refer to your cable or satellite remote user guide for more information

on how to program the remote. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 5-digit code (like most Direct TV units), first try 11758 and then, if that does not work, 10178. tf your cable or satellite remote uses a 4-

digit code, try 1758 and then 0178 as an alternative. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 3-digit code (Echostar or Dish Network for example), use code 627.

analog TV will always be noticeably inferior to HD because your digital flat panel TV has video that is many times better than old TV's and so you can see interference and deficiencies you did not know you had.

Make sure that the volume is not turned down. Make sure that the sound is not muted.

Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.

Your Plasma HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your Plasma HDTV may not

display. Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.

When your Plasma HDTV's digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (increased) to match your TV's display capabilities. Up-

converting can cause noise or trash. The TV remembers the volume level from the last time you adjusted it. If the sound

level is higher or lower from another source, then the loudness will change. The TV remembers the viewing mode from the last time you used a particular input

(AV, Component, HDMI and TV). The Plasma HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.

Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB. However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image

distortions can occur.

Tips for Letterbox Content Users.

Letterboxed (or "Widescreen") versions of DVD movies are most commonly

formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. The Plasma HDTV has the capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image

accuracy. To use this function, press the "ZOOM" key on the remote control and cycle among the available options.

7.8 GLossary - Standard Oeffinitions

Analog TV: Today's TV system using radio frequency waves to transmit and display pictures and sound. Aspect Ratio (4x3): Traditional TV "aspect ratio", that is, the screen's width as compared to its height.

For example, a "32 inch TV screen" would be 25 inches wide and 19 inches tall. Aspect Ratio (16x9): "Wide screen TV" aspect ratio which is more like a movie screen than a traditional

TV. For example, a "32 inch TV screen" would be 28 inches wide and 16 inches tall. Digital TV (DTV): Television delivered and displayed using radio frequency waves that contain

information that is digitally encoded for improved quality and efficiency. Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV): A better digital television transmission than SDTV with at least 480P,

in a 16x9 or 4x3 display and Dolby digital surround sound. 480P is the quality used by most DVD players. EDTV provides 300-400,000 pixels.

HDTV Monitor (sometimes called HDTV Ready): A set that can display HDTV programming if you have a separate HDTV tuner, HD Cable Set-Top Box or HD Satellite Set-Top-Box Receiver.

HDTV Tuner (also decoder, receiver, set-top box): A device capable of receiving and outputting HDTV signals for display, tt may be stand-alone or integrated in the set.

High-Definition Television (HDTV): The best quality picture, wide screen (16x9) display with at least 720 progressively scanned lines (720P) or 1080 interlaced lines (1080i) and Dolby digital surround sound.

HDTV provides 900,000-2.1 million pixels. Integrated HDTV" An HDTV that has the digital tuner built into the set. It does not need a separate set-

top box to receive over-the-air DTV signals. Interlace Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the odd lines first, then

filling the in the even lines (this happens instantaneously). Plug-and-Play or Digital Cable Ready: A DTV or other device for digital cable consumers that plugs

directly into the cable jack and does not require a separate set-top box. Plug-and-Play TV owners must obtain a CableCARD from their cable company in order to view scrambled programming services.

Progressive Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the lines consecutively (progressively).

Standard Definition TV (SDTV): Basic digital television transmission that may be displayed with fewer than 480 progressively scanned lines (480P) in 16 x 9 or 4 x 3 format. 480 interlaced (480i) is the quality

of today's analog TV system.
