To hear stereo sound from cable or your VCR,
you will need to connect A/V cables as well as
the wire that runs from the VCR to your
Entertainment Machine.

If you want to receive your signals on Channel
3 or 4, locate the Out to TV jack on your VCR.
Connect a cable from the Out to TV jack to the
Antenna/Cable 1 jack on the back of your
Entertainment Machine.

COMPONENT VIDEO Some video equipment uses three separate lines (Y, Pb, Pr) to more precisely reproduce images. Your manual will explain how

this relates to your equipment.

Find the audio and composite or
S-Video jacks on the back of your
DVD Player and connect them fol­lowing the instructions provided
with your equipment.

You may connect either the com­posite video or the S-Video cables
to your Entertainment Machine.
Do not connect both the compos­ite and the S-Video.

Some high-end DVD players use
a picture reproduction system
called “component video.” If
your DVD player has component
output, use the connectors
marked “COMPONENT INPUT1”
on the jack panel. Please refer
to your DVD manual for proper
installation.

This is just a general room design.
Any number of set-ups are possible,
and some changes may be needed
to maximize your sound. However, a
Dolby Digital Receiver is needed for

5.1 channel audio.

A left and right speaker on either
side of the set enhances separation.
The Entertainment Machine “center
mode in,” makes the dialog sound
as thought it’s coming directly from
the Entertainment Machine. The rear
surround sound speakers provide
the majority of other sounds, like
those from special effects in movies.
Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low
frequency sound, for rumbling
low-end audio.

Sound is affected by
speaker placement, so
make sure nothing is in
front of the speakers, and
that they are aimed in
appropriate directions.

You have the option of
turning on or off the internal
speakers.

Programming the Remote

Test your remote control
To find out whether your remote control can
operate component without programming,
turn on the component such as the VCR and
press the corresponding mode button (VCR)
on the remote control while pointing at the
component. Test the POWER and CH +/-
buttons to see if the component responds
properly. If not, it requires programming.

Turn on the component to be programmed.
Then press the corresponding mode button
on the remote control.

Press the POWER button and the MUTE but­ton simultaneously. Then the remote control
is ready to program the code for the corre­sponding component.

There are two ways to find the right code of
the component.

First, if you press the CH +/- buttons
repeatedly, the code will change one at a
time. Press the POWER button after each
code change. If the right code is found, the
device will turn off.

Second, enter the code number using the
digit buttons on the remote. The right code
numbers for the corresponding component
can be found on the following pages.
Again, if the code is correct, the device will
turn off.

Press the EXIT button to store the program.

Test the remote control functions if the
component responds properly. If not, repeat
from step 2.

Maintenance

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of
lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s
almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your
Entertainment Machine.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the Entertainment Machine on.

Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the Entertainment Machine from dirt and
dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking new.

If you leave your Entertainment Machine dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good
idea to unplug the power to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you
use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your Entertainment
Machine before leaving.

SCREEN CLEANING

EXTENDED ABSENCE

CABINET CLEANING

WOOD CABINETS

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will
have with your new Entertainment Machine. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the plug before you
begin any cleaning.

P A GE 65

Maintenance cont’d

Even though you may be getting cable, the signal may be weak, which means the quality
of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your
Entertainment Machine, consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages.

If you use your Entertainment Machine to play video games or for other uses that have single,
fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.
If static images, like network identification patterns, are left sitting for too long, they can leave
a permanent impression on the picture tube. You can reduce the chance of this happening by
limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and
brightness levels.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS

PICTURE INTERFERENCE

If you unplug your Entertainment Machine, you may have to reset the clock using the Time menu
described earlier.

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOMS

Snowy picture and unclear sound.

Multiple images or ‘ghost shadows.’

Interference: Sharp lines across
the screen and unclear sound.

Normal picture but no sound.

No picture and unclear sound.

No picture and no sound.

No color, but the sound is O.K.

Picture has a big black box
on it, but the sound is O.K.

Picture has two horizontal
black bars, one on top and
one on bottom.

Missing Secret code

Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself.

SOLUTIONS

• Check your antenna connection or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Check to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected.

• Check your antenna direction and/or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Make sure the cable from your antenna to your Entertainment Machine is
properly connected.

The following may cause image problems or distortion:
Electrical appliances, powerful lights, cars, trucks; computers or
portable phones; medical equipment

• If possible increase the distance between your Entertainment Machine and
the offending appliance. Or shut one of them off.

• Check volume levels.

• Make sure the TV is not Muted.

• Try another channel. The problem may be the broadcast, not your
Entertainment Machine.

• Are the Audio A/V cables properly installed?

• Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers)
properly installed?

• Make sure your speakers turned on under the Audio menu.

• If your audio mode is set to SAP, that channel may not have a SAP program.

• Are you in TV or cable tuning mode, and should be in the other?

• Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).

• Check that all connections are tight.

• Is the AC power plugged in?

• Check that your AC power outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something
else or try another plug.)

• Make sure your brightness and audio controls are set properly.

• Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

• Check the color control in the Video menu.

• Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.

• The CC (closed caption) option may be in Text mode. Select Caption 1, or OFF
in the Captions/Text menu.

• Your program is in letterbox. This means that the shape of your TV is a
square, but the program is a rectangle. Think of the bars as empty space the
program doesn’t fill; not picture that’s blocked out. Because this format is a
direct representation of film as you see it in the movies, you are actually seeing
MORE of the program when you see those bars.

• If you forget the secret code, press the remote control Button ‘7’, ‘7’, ‘7’ and ‘7’
when the display asks you to enter the secret code.

P A GE 67

Remote control doesn’t work.

Menu options can’t be
changed or selected.

No picture or sound
when any non-cable source
is selected.

Weak or no Stereo Sound
when using a stereo VCR.

The PIP inset is black or
lacks contrast.

The PIP inset is “snow” when
the source is Antenna 1.

Time is incorrect.

Troubleshooting, cont’d

• Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly.

• Try unplugging your Entertainment Machine for a few minutes,
then plug it back in.

• Check to see if the source equipment has been turned on.

• Make sure that the connections are secure on the back of your Entertainment
Machine and on the source equipment.

• Check to see if all the connections are secure.

• Look in the Audio mode menu to see if all the settings are correct.

• You are using channel 3 or 4 to view your VCR. No stereo sound is present
under that decision.

• You might want to adjust the PIP picture settings under the PIP menu.

• Check that all the wires are connected properly.

• Check to see if your input source for PIP is set correctly.

•Look to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected or change the

PIP to another source.

• Make sure the time was set initially. Probably power was lost.

Glossary

A complete list of definitions for words found in this guide.

75 OHM RF CABLE The round cable that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service

provider. Each end looks like a hex shaped nut with a wire sticking
through the middle, and it screws onto the threaded jack on the back of
your TV.

A/V CABLES Audio/Video cables. Three cables - Right audio (red), Left audio (white),

and Video (yellow). A/V cables are used for stereo playback of videocas­settes and for higher quality picture and sound from other A/V devices.

A/V DEVICE Any device that produces video or sound (VCR, DVD, cable box,

or television).

ADD This function lets you add new channels to the list that you’ll scroll

through when using your remote.

AMPLIFIER An external device that amplifies sound from a television, CD player, VCR,

DVD or other A/V device.

ANALOG TV Traditional method of representing a television signal as a replica (analog)

of the original picture and sound.

ANTENNA The physical receiver of television signals sent over the air. A large metal

piece of equipment does not always have to be visible for your home to
be using an antenna.

ASPECT RATIO The ratio of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension of a pic-

ture. Standard television in the U.S. today is generally transmitted and
displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio. High-Definition television will normally be
formatted in a wider aspect ratio, assumed to be 16:9.

CAPTIONS A form of subtitling that writes out the dialog for your program.

CONVERGENCE This option lets you correct for color separation in your picture.

DELETE This function lets you remove channels that you don’t watch from the list

you’ll scroll through.

DIGITAL TV A new method of representing television signal as a series of binary num-

bers (1s and 0s). This method allows for the signal to be manipulated to
eliminate redundancy to dramatically increase picture and sound quality.

DOLBY DIGITAL Dolby Digital Cinema Sound is made possible by a new digital coding tech-

nique called Dolby AC-3. Dolby AC-3 produces high-quality, 5.1 channel
surround sound which is six discrete separate channels for a full range of
sound. Each channel can carry a different signal simultaneously (front
center, front left, front right, surround left, surround right and subwoofer).

GEMSTAR GUIDE Plus+ GOLD

Premium electronic program guide that uses an easy-to-read grid guide
system for channel navigation. On-screen display has full color channel
logos, station call letters, 3D graphics, horizontal scrolling, direct tuning
access through the grid and theme color coding.

INPUT Refers to the jack that receives a signal into the TV, VCR or other

A/V device.

Glossary (cont’d)

JACK A connection on the back of a TV, VCR, or any other A/V

device. This includes the RF jacks and the Audio/Video jacks
that are color-coded.

MODE The mode determines the type of device (TV, VCR, Cable, Aux)

that the remote is controlling.

MONO SOUND Mono (monaural) sound is one channel of sound. On more

than one speaker all the speakers play the same audio.

OUTPUT Refers to the jack that sends a signal out of a VCR, DVD, or

other A/V device.

PIP This is the most common way to refer to the Picture-In-Picture

(PIP) option.

PIP SNAPSHOT Press to capture and freeze main picture within large PIP

frame. Press a second time and receive normal PIP from anoth­er channel. Press again to remove PIP from the screen.

SECOND AUDIO Second Audio Programming (SAP) is another, separate, audio

channel available with some programming. Choosing SAP often
refers to listening to audio in another language, such as
Spanish or French.

SIGNAL Picture and sound traveling through cable, or on the air, to

your television screen.

SOURCE The term for the equipment that provides audio and video

information to your Entertainment Machine. Antenna, VCR,
DVD players, or Cable Boxes are examples of sources.

STEREO SOUND Stereo (stereophonic) sound refers to audio that’s divided into

right and left sides.

SURF This function creates a customized list of your favorite chan-

nels. You can access this group of channels by pushing the
surf button on the remote.

TEXT Arbitrary text not related to the program.

TUNER Any device that picks up broadcast signals and turns them into

picture and sound.

VCR PLUS+ C Designed especially for use on cable systems that require a

decoder box. Entering the PlusCode of the desired program
automatically turns on most cable boxes (and some DBS
receivers), tunes it and the VCR to the correct channels, and
sets the timer for virtually foolproof recording.
