Refer to the simple Quick Use and

Setup Guide (supplied with your TV)

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

with the remote control.

Please take a few minutes to complete your registration

card. The serial number for the TV is on the rear of the set.
