Refer to the simple Quick Use and

for details on the following:
• Basic TV connections
• Adwmced TV connections
• Basic TV operation
• Basic Remote Control operation
• Remote Control Button Descriptions
ActiveControlTM continuously measures and corrects all incom-
ing signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature
monitors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise
reduction control.
Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs,
DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound
playback.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at
all even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program
changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more
consistent, comfortable sound.
AutoChron TM automatically sets the right time of day and
maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power
failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
AutoLoek TM allows you to block the viewing of certain chan-
nels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your
children to view inappropriate materials.
Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available
channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only
active broadcast stations in the TV's memory.
AutoPieture TM allows you to change the picture settings (color,
tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as
sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the
push of one button.
AutoSound TM allows you to select from three factory-set con-
trols and a personal control that you set according to your own
preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three facto-
ry-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor
the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you
are watching.
Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list
stored in the TV's memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit
or expand the number of channels that are available to you when
you press the Channel (+) or (-) buttons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dia-
logue or voice conversations as ouscreeu text.
Dynamic Contrast helps to sharpen the picture quality by
improving the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of
the picture.
Eye Fidelity (also know as Digital Options) give a choice of
two different scanning technics - Progressive Scan or Interlaced.
Progressive Scan doubles the nmnber of visible lines per field by
displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating any picture
flicker. The Interlaced mode provides a double vertical display
scan, which reduces annoying motion sweeps. The Interlaced
mode will also smooth out the jagged lines sometimes seen on
the edges of curved or angled surfaces.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-
controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable convert-
ers, and satellite receivers.
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for
setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or
Spanish).
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount
of time that you choose.
Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) chan-
nel capability allows for viewing by,antenna or cable.
Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-
speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broad-
cast in stereo sound.
Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the chan-
nels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have
programmed into the TV's Surf control through the onscreen
lneuu).
Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF
once or daily like an alarm clock.
As you unpack your TV, please note that this Directions
for Use manual contains safety-tip information and
Factory Service Center locations, as well as a Warranty
Registration Card, remote control, and batteries for use
