27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual

To share an input or reduce the number of wires to the display, use a VCR or AV Receiver to
consolidate connections. It is common to route the output of your camcorder, cable box (STB),
satellite receiver (IRD) and personal video recorder (PVR) through your VCR for recording, editing
and time shifting.

Not all devices are the same and many may need additional cables, adapters and setup. In particular,
computers, game consoles, high-definition receivers and progressive DVD players must be set to 16:9
output accordingly.

Antenna Connection

This LCD-TV has a built-in cable-ready NTSC tuner for analog cable and NTSC broadcast signals.
You may choose to connect the analog cable or TV antenna wire (not included) directly to this
LCD-TV antenna input.

Tuner

Video Connections

There are four types of video inputs: YPbPr1, YPbPr2, S-Video and Video. Each of these video inputs
has a corresponding set of stereo left and right audio inputs.
These connectors are color-coded to match the colors of the corresponding connectors on other devices
and cables.
The YPbPr1 and YPbPr2 inputs will only accept 480i, 480p, 1080i and 720p signals. Use this to
connect high definition devices such as a terrestrial HDTV receiver, HD satellite box, HD cable box
or progressive scan DVD player.
Use this to obtain better color performance from devices such as a DVD player. The built-in
progressive scan logic will automatically convert interlaced DVD to non-interlaced.
The S-Video and Video inputs are provided for use with devices such as a VCR, satellite receiver,
digital cable box, or game console. The built-in progressive scan logic will also automatically convert
these interlaced NTSC signals to non-interlaced.

PC & Audio Output Connections

There are two PC inputs: VGA and PC audio. There is also an audio output and a subwoofer output.
The VGA input is an analog RGB interface with separate H & V sync signals. VGA is more commonly
found on computers. Attach the LCD-TV to your computer using the included (blue color-coded)
VGA cable. The PC audio cable is not included and must be purchased separately.
For the VGA inputs, please remember to adjust your computer resolution to match the 1280x720

resolution of the 27" LCD-TV for best performance. An additional software driver may be
required from your PC graphics chip vendor to obtain wide format resolution support.

27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual

The audio output is commonly used to connect to an external audio amplifier or surround sound
processor.
The subwoofer output is used to attach an external powered subwoofer.
Remember to enable this feature from the Audio Menu of the LCD-TV. When the subwoofer software

command is set to On, an internal crossover cuts off the low frequency signal to the built-in speakers.
When the subwoofer software command is set to Off, the built-in speakers will output full range audio.

Enjoying Wide-Format Movies

As NTSC transitions to HDTV, you may experience a variety of content presented in different aspect
ratios. This LCD-TV can scale the incoming video while maintaining the original aspect ratio or
stretch the video to use the entire screen.

Use the SCALING button on the remote control to switch the aspect ratio as indicated here:

Use FILL ALL to stretch programs to occupy more of the screen. Use FILL ALL to view wide
format (anamorphic) DVD movies. In particular, look for DVD movies that are labeled:
"Anamorphic Widescreen" or "Enhanced for 16:9 TV" to obtain better performance.

Use 4:3 MODE to maintain the correct original aspect ratio for most videotape, broadcast television,
cable, satellite, HDTV and PC content. The unused portions on the left and right or top and bottom
edges of the screen will appear black.

11

27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual

Note: Plasma users are often advised to use FILL ALL to stretch all content to the edges of the screen
in order to reduce burn-in. This LCD-TV has no such problem with burn-in.

Use PANORAMIC to expand NORMAL 4:3 aspect ratio content horizontally using a creative non-linear
formula. Objects in the middle maintain the original aspect ratio and only the two sides are expanded.
Experiment with these SCALING settings to determine your personal preferences.

Use WIDE to expand letterbox content to occupy more of the screen. Occasionally, you may find a TV
program or older DVD movie that is actually presented as letterbox format within an NTSC signal.
Use this mode to zoom the image up to full screen. The unused portions on the top and bottom of the
screen will appear black.
Note: In WIDE mode, non-letterbox content will enlarge beyond the boundaries of the screen. Some
portions of the video will not be visible above and below the screen. This may include OSD information
from you DVD player, cable decoder or satellite receiver. To see the entire screen, switch to a different
SCALING mode.

Appendices

Trouble-Shooting

Q: Why doesn't my video fill the whole screen?
A: Some people prefer to maintain the original aspect ratio to avoid seeing abnormally fat or skinny
characters. Other people prefer to fill more of the screen. Use the SCALING button on your
remote to adjust the image aspect ratio and fill more of the screen.
Q: Why do I have to keep changing the SCALING adjustment?
A: Each type of programming content may be different. Most NTSC TV programs and videotapes are
4:3 aspect ratio. DVD movies are available in several formats and can be adjusted accordingly.
HD content is typically wide format. Occasionally DVD movies and TV programs are letterboxed
and can be zoomed to fill the entire screen.
Q: I have no video from my progressive DVD player. How do I fix this?
A: You may need to connect the DVD player to another video input. Match the settings on your DVD
player to progressive or interlaced output. For progressive output, use a YPbPr input on the
LCD-TV.
Q: I have no video from the HDTV input. What is wrong?
A: Adjust the settings on your HD receiver to 720p, 1080i or 480p output. On the Sony SAT-HD200,
this button is on the front panel and remote. For the Samsung model SIR-TS160, this switch is on
the rear panel.
Q: Will a progressive scan DVD player provide better video?
A: This LCD-TV includes a progressive scan converter that is comparable to the scan-converter built
into progressive scan DVD players.
Q: What are anamorphic widescreen DVD movies?
A: There are two common ways of recording wide format movies on a DVD: letterbox and anamorphic.
Anamorphic recordings are also commonly labeled "Enhanced for 16:9 TV's". Anamorphic
recordings have over 30% more vertical resolution than letterbox format. Use the SCALING button
on your remote to adjust the image aspect ratio and fill more of the screen.
Q: Do LCD's have a burn-in problem?
A: No. Unlike CRT and plasma TV's, liquid crystal displays (LCD) do not use phosphor and thus have
no problems with a still image becoming permanently stored on the screen.
Q: Can I use a game console such as Sony Playstation 2, Nintendo Game Cube or Microsoft XBOX
with my LCD-TV?
A: Yes. If you intend to use a game console and/or watch standard TV broadcasts over cable, satellite
or antenna, an LCD-TV is a necessary and superior choice over widescreen plasma and
CRT televisions. The repetitive image from games and unused black filled borders will damage a
plasma TV by burning a permanent image into the phosphor.

28

27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual

Q: Will leaving my LCD-TV on cause the image to degrade?
A: No. Unlike plasma TV's, this LCD-TV does not exhibit aging over time. The brightness of the
image remains the same. Sufficient airflow is important to maintain a cool operating temperature.
Q: I forgot my parental control password. How do I reset the parental control?
A: Enter 00000 as the password.
Q: I have video, but no audio. What's up?
A: Adjust the volume up, turn off the mute button, and confirm the audio cables for this video source
properly are connected.
Q: I have audio, but no video. What's up?
A: Match the video output format (720p, 1080i, 480p, 480i) of your video source to the appropriate
input connector on the LCD-TV.
Q: I am using the component video input. Why are the colors all wrong?
A: Confirm the Pb and Pr cables are not switched by matching the color codes on the cable to the
connectors.
Q: My cable TV reception is not very clear. Why is this?
A: Many homes split a signal from their antenna or cable many times. The number of splitters and the
quality of the connectors on the 75ohm cable will visibly affect TV reception. Computers,
microwave ovens and other electronic devices emit electronic noise. Identify the interfering device
by shutting it off and try relocating the interfering device away from your LCD-TV.
Q: My computer images appear stretched. How do I fix this?
A: Adjust the display properties of your PC to 1280x720. (You may need to download a 1280x720
driver.)
Q: The text on my PC is too small. How do I make it larger?
A: Adjust the font size using the large system font (125%) found in your PC's Display Properties
Settings under the Advanced button.
Q: The audio sounds "thin" and is missing bass sounds.
A: Adjust the audio bass and treble settings from the audio menu. Be sure to set the subwoofer value
to off when there is no subwoofer.
