Thank you for choosing RCA Scenium

Congratulations on purchasing this RCA Scenium High Definition Television (HDTV) featuring DLP ^™ (Digital Light Processing ^™ ) technology—a true viewing experience. Your purchase decision represents an investment in a new generation of technology—DLP ^™ and HDTV. Even though this is a technologically advanced HDTV, it is the most user-friendly of its kind—with comprehensive on-screen instructions that guide you through all of the TV's features.

This introduction describes three reasons why an RCA Scenium HDTV featuring DLP ^™ technology is an excellent choice:

DLP™—brilliance in color, design, and technology

Why RCA Scenium DLP™ is better?

Other Key Features of owning an RCA Scenium HDTV

Part 1: DLP™—brilliance, in color, design, and technology

RCA Scenium brings you brilliant pictures with Digital Light Processing ^™ system (DLP ^™ ) — a brilliantly choreographed, engineering marvel that combines microscopic mirrors, light, and color to bring you the best and brightest pictures possible.

Lamp Replacement

DLP technology uses a special lamp. Eventually, you'll need to replace this lamp. To order the correct lamp, you'll need to know your TV's model number, serial number, and lamp type—this information is listed on the Service Model Number sticker (example of the sticker is shown at right). The sticker is located on the right side of the TV. For quick reference, write down the information in the space provided at the right.

How DLP™ Works

In general, DLP™ combines microscopic mirrors, a specially designed semiconductor, and a color wheel to adjust light to display the most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP™ HDTV doesn't use Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don't have to worry about screen burn (fixed video images burning onto the screen permanently) or convergence (realigning the CRTs). The diagram on the left illustrates the complex system.

Thin and Light

The efficiency of DLP ^™ technology enabled our design team to create a high-performance HDTV that is about 16 inches thin and weighs less than 100 pounds.

Part 2: Why RCA Scenium DLP™ is better?

DLP ^™ is just part of the story. You have chosen to embark on the next generation of TV viewing—HDTV. There are many technological advancements that make HDTV better than analog TV, but there are basically three things about HDTV that bring you a superior viewing experience: (1) resolution, (2) aspect ratio, and (3) digital signal and sound.

Resolution (it's math...that works for you)

The crisp, lifelike picture people rave about when experiencing true HDTV is due to the resolution this technology provides. The resolution is measured by calculating the number of active lines of pixels. A pixel (which stands for picture element) is a small dot. The picture you see on your TV is composed of these dots.

A regular, analog television (called analog) only has a resolution of about 200,000 pixels (480 vertical pixels x 440 horizontal pixels = 211,200 pixels). The HDTV format is capable of more than 2 million pixels (1,920 x 1,080 = 2,073,600).

More pixels equals more detail. In summary, HDTV is capable of resolution that is up to 10 times the resolution of the picture on a regular, analog TV!

Format Analog (NTSC) HD Digital (ATSC)

Total Scan Lines 525 1125

Effective Scan Lines 480 1080

Aspect Ratio 4 : 3 16 : 9

Max Resolution 720 x 480 1920 x 1080

Sound 2-ch Stereo 5.1 ch Surround

16:9 Aspect Ratio

Portrait of a young boy in traditional attire, hands clasped (no visible text or symbols)

4:3 Aspect Ratio

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is simply the width and height of the picture. Regular TVs use a 4 x 3 (also written 4:3) aspect ratio, which means the picture is a little wider than it is tall (a screen that is 20 inches wide is about 15 inches tall).

When the standards were being developed for television broadcasting in 1941 by the NTSC (the National Television Standards Committee), it made sense to adopt the 4 x 3 aspect ratio that the film industry was using at that time.

As TVs dropped in price and people prospered in the 1950s, the movie industry had to find a way to get people out of their living rooms and back to the movie theatres. That's when they created the 16 x 9 (also written 16:9) aspect ratio (also called widescreen format). When the standards for HDTV were being developed by the ATSC (Advanced Television Standards Committee), the 16 x 9 aspect ratio was chosen as the format for HDTV.

This widescreen format makes sense because it's much closer to the way we see. Our field of vision is actually much wider than tall because of our peripheral vision. Not only is it closer to the way we see, but the pictures are crisper and cleaner with more detail in the close-up and panoramic views.

Digital Signal and Sound

The analog television broadcast system that has been used in the United States for the past 50 years transmits signals as electronic waves. These waves can suffer degradation as the signal travels to your home. Additionally, the analog waves are susceptible to interference from planes passing overhead, weather, and household appliances.

Digital signals, in contrast to analog signals, can be reproduced precisely because the images are transmitted and received using the computer language of 1s and 0s. Such precision yields a signal that is capable of displaying studio-quality picture and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound.

Part 3: Other Key Features of owning an RCA Scenium HDTV

There are other HDTVs on the market— even some that use DLP technology. But your RCA Scenium HDTV has been designed with features that will enhance your TV viewing, and features that provide flexibility to build on the digital revolution that is taking place. A summary of your TV's most unique features follows. Chapter 3 provides more detail about these features and information about additional features.

Integrated HDTV Tuner with QAM

RCA was the first to offer an integrated tuner with its HDTVs (no need for a set-top box to receive digital programming). Now, we've gone one better—your HDTV's tuner is ready for digital cable (no need for a cable box to view unscrambled, digital cable, programming). The tuner is able to decode all 16 formats of digital television broadcasts and it can interpret digital cable signals because it includes the ability to decode QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) encoded programming.

Note: A cable box may be necessary to view scrambled and/or premium channels. Contact your cable provider for more information.

TruScan Digital Reality

Optimum picture performance occurs when the picture intended is the picture presented. TruScan Digital Reality intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming video signals and progressively converts them to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It also recognizes when original film sources have been modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail—a process commonly referred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.

FireWire® with Two-Way DTVLink®

Control your IEEE-1394 components via your HDTV! Just link them together via the 2-way DTVLink jacks and you can network your high-speed compatible 1394 digital components. The two-way jacks allow the audio and video signals to flow into and out from the 1394 components, such as the DVR10 (see below).

Compatible with the Optional DVR10 Hard Disk Drive — Pause Live Digital TV and record digital programs

RCA offers an Audio Video Hard Disk Drive (model DVR10) with IEEE 1394, available at your local RCA dealer or www.rca.com. The DVR10 Audio Video Hard Disk Drive (AVHDD) component lets you pause live TV, record shows, and play them back (digital broadcasts only—ATSC and QAM signals).

To get the most out of your HDTV's web browser, purchase the keyboard (model KBR755TA1) designed specifically for your TV (go to page 84 for ordering information).

NetConnect

With an Ethernet connection and a web browser built into your TV, you can access the Internet from your TV*. To use the web browser, you'll need a high-speed connection, such as a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) unit or cable modem and a subscription to an ISP (Internet Service Provider). DSL, cable modem, and ISP subscription sold separately.

*The browser has limitations and might not be able to interpret all files, such as streaming audio and video.

Audio System

Enjoy the great sound system in your HDTV with 60 watts total power. Your HDTV has front speakers with two 1" tweeters and two 5" midrange drivers to create incredible sound. A 7-band on-screen graphic equalizer allows customization of the sound quality. TruSurround XT™ solves the problem of playing 6.1 multichannel content over two speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual, surround sound experience through any internal television speakers.

Record Output Jacks

Because the VCRs in most households are analog and can't interpret digital signals, recording HDTV broadcasts wasn't possible without purchasing additional equipment. That's why RCA added Record Output Jacks to this HDTV — the RECORD OUTPUT with its AUDIO OUT L/R jacks enable you to record both analog and digital programs to an analog VCR. RCA understands how you watch TV and what is necessary to make the transition to HDTV seamless.

CinemaScreen™

Check out the black, borderless frame around your HDTV's screen. This is not just a design feature—the CinemaScreen actually enhances contrast. Feel like you're part of the picture with CinemaScreen.

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
• T urn off the TV and/or component(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

- Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

Use Indirect Light

Don't place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.

Using a Stand

This television is a table model and is designed to set on a firm, flat surface. Placing the TV on soft carpeting or a like surface can block the bottom ventilation slots and result in reduced lifetime due to overheating. Make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately.

TV DVD VCR 3A 3B Connect G-LINK Cable (see page 23)

1. Connect your cable or off-air signal to ANTENNA A.

If you have cable and an off-air antenna, connect the cable signal to ANTENNA A INPUT (antenna A is the only source for the GUIDE Plus+ system). Connect the off-air antenna to ANTENNA B INPUT. If you have only an off-air antenna, connect it to ANTENNA A INPUT.

1. Connect your DVD Player to your TV.

Connect the DVD player's component (Y P R P R ) and audio outputs to INPUT 3 on the TV using component cables. If your DVD player has composite audio/video and an S-Video output, use INPUTs 1 or 2 and use the S-VIDEO jack instead of the VIDEO jack.

Notes: If you are using an S-Video cable (INPUT 1 or 2) or component video cables, you must also use audio cables. The S-Video cable and component video cables only transfer video information.

If your DVD player has a component video output, we recommend you use the component video input on the TV instead of the composite video or S-Video connection. Don't forget to also connect audio cables when using the component video cables.

1. Connect your VCR to your TV.

A. Connect the VCR's audio/video outputs to INPUT 1 (audio/video) on the TV using composite audio/video cables.

B. Connect the VCR's audio/video inputs to RECORD OUTPUT on the TV. This enables recording of digital programs (unless copy protected, using DVI HDTV or component video formats), as well as analog programs.

Viewing the Components

1. Turn on the TV and the component(s) you want to view.
2. Press the TV button on the remote control.
3. Press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the Video Input Channels.

• The VCR can be viewed on the INPUT 1 channel.

How to Connect: TV + Satellite Receiver + VCR

1. Connect your cable or off-air signal to ANTENNA A.

If you have cable and an off-air antenna, connect the cable signal to ANTENNA A INPUT (antenna A is the only source for the GUIDE Plus+ system). Connect the off-air antenna to ANTENNA B INPUT. If you have only an off-air antenna, connect it to ANTENNA A INPUT.

2. Connect your VCR to your TV.

A. Connect the VCR's audio/video outputs to INPUT 1 (audio/video) on the TV using composite audio/video cables.
B. Connect the VCR's audio/video inputs to RECORD OUTPUT on the TV. This enables recording of digital programs (unless copy protected, using DVI HDTV or component video formats), as well as analog programs.

3. Connect your Satellite Receiver to your TV.

Connect the satellite receiver's audio/video output jacks to the INPUT 2 AUDIO (R and L) and VIDEO jacks on the TV using composite cables. If your satellite receiver has an S-Video output, you can make the video connection by using the S-VIDEO jacks instead. If your satellite receiver has component outputs, then use INPUT 3 or 4.

Note: If you are using an S-Video cable or component video cables, you must also use audio cables. The S-Video cable and component video cables only transfer video information.

Viewing the Components

1. Turn on the TV and the component(s) you want to view.
2. Press the TV button on the remote control.
3. Press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the Video Input Channels.

• The VCR can be viewed on the INPUT 1 channel.
- The satellite receiver can be viewed on the INPUT 2 channel.

Note: You can set up the TV to automatically tune to the correct Video Input Channel. This is called Auto Tuning. (See Chapter 3 for more information.)

Audio Connections

With the audio versatility of your HDTV, you can choose various connection options depending on the type and quality of sound that you want. Choose one of the options or refer to the user's manual of each component that you are connecting to get the best results.

• Connect audio/video receiver (speakers connected to receiver) using the digital audio output jack to your TV (best sound).
• Connect audio/video receiver (speakers connected to receiver) to your TV (better sound).
• Connect speakers to your TV (good sound).

How to Connect: TV + Speakers Without A/V Receiver

You can connect two external speakers to the TV: one to the RIGHT terminal, and one to the LEFT terminal.

1. If necessary, remove the vinyl covering from the ends of the speaker wire and twist the wire core.
2. Open the lever on the speaker terminal.
3. Insert the wire core into the hole. Be sure to connect the (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
4. Close the lever. Pull gently on the wire to see that it's connected securely.

5. Set the SPEAKER SELECT switch:

6. If you connect speakers and place the EXT/INT W/EXT SURR switch on the TV back panel in the INT W/EXT SURR position, you get audio from the internal speakers as well as L minus R from both external speakers. This connection gives you a matrix surround effect.

7. If you connect speakers and place the switch in the EXT position, you get audio from the external speakers only. The TV's internal speakers are turned off.

Speaker wire

RIGHT FIXED/MARIABLE EXTERNAL SPEAKERS AUDIO OUTPUT SPEAKER SELECT INT W/ R EXT SURR L

1. Go to the Audio menu and Fixed/Variable Out screen and make sure Variable Out - Speakers On is selected.

Notes:

When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you connect the positive (+) terminal on the TV to the positive (+) terminal on the speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white stripe to help you match the terminals correctly. If the (+) and (-) terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be "in phase," causing reduction in bass frequencies.

Do not allow the wire core to touch other wires or terminals. Damage to components could result if the cores of two wires touch.

Arrange the speakers in your TV room to achieve maximum sound quality. The external speaker rating is 8 ohms with 30 watts total power handling capabilities.

How to Connect: TV + Router via the HDTV's ETHERNET Jack

The illustration above provides you with a general connection to the TV's ETHERNET jack so you can maximize your HDTV's browser to surf the Internet. You don't need to connect a computer to the router to surf the Internet. A computer is only needed if you want to view photos or graphics on your TV that are stored on your computer. An Internet Service Provider subscription is necessary to access the Internet.

You should know:

• Only use the Ethernet connection, if you are connecting a router to the TV's ETHERNET jack.
  • A router with DHCP capability is recommended.
• Only use this connection if you have purchased the keyboard designed for this HDTV (page 58 has ordering information) because a keyboard is needed to effectively surf the Internet via your HDTV's internal web browser.
• You'll need to use the manuals that accompany your router and other Internet components for specific instructions.

A router enables you to network several components, such as a computer, cable modem, or DSL modem. You will need to set up each component that is connected to the router. See the manuals that came with the router and the components you are connecting for specific instructions.

To connect the router to the TV, use a CAT 5 cable (not provided) to connect the ETHERNET Input Jack on the back of your HDTV to the ETHERNET Output Jack on the router.

The complexity of the setup required to make all of the components and the router work with your HDTV depends upon your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most ISPs will automatically fill in the information needed during setup, but if you are asked for specific information while setting up the router and other components you will need to contact your ISP.

How to Connect: TV + DTVLink and/or IEEE-1394 Components

Two connection methods when connecting IEEE-1394 and DTVLink components are: component-to-component or hub. The component-to-component method is each component connected in a chain-like fashion, one to the other with the first component in the chain connected to the DTVLink jack on the TV. The hub method is basically the same but using both 1394 jacks with two chains of components connected. Your TV is a control center for the connected compatible components, automatically recognizing each component and placing it in the Input list.

Note: If you've tuned to a 1394 input, you can control some basic transport functions on the component like RECORD, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REVERSE, PAUSE, and PLAY when remote is in TV mode.

Three types of 1394 connectors are available on 1394 components; 4-pin connector (no power); 6-pin connector (with power) and 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Your HDTV has a 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Both the 4-pin and 6-pin connectors are capable of sending digital audio, digital video, and digital control signals back and forth between components. In addition, the 6-pin connector is capable of sending low voltage electrical power. If you should have some components with 4-pin connectors, 4-to-6 pin adapter cables are available from your local electronic stores.

You should know:

• Connect your 1394 components to either DTVLink (1394) jack.
• Only compatible 1394 components are to be connected to the DTVLink (1394) input/output jack.
• Do not loop the 1394 components back to the TV. That is, each 1394 connection chain should have only one connection point to the TV, or the network might not work.
• Place the slower components at the end of the chain and the faster ones closest to the TV in the chain for faster communication speed. See component's manual for 1394 network speed.
• The TV can't decode DV format of some camcorders, but it can decode/accept MPEG2 format from some camcorders.

Note: The TV sends audio/video through the 1394 jack (labeled DTVLink) only to a component that enforces video copy protection.

TV HD Set Top Box

How to Connect: TV + Set-top Box Using DVI-HDTV (Digital Visual Interface)

DVI-D Connector

Digital Visual Interface is a specification created by the Digital Display Working Group to support analog and digital signals on a single interface. This uncompressed digital video interface is becoming more prevalent and is expected to become widely used for digital display components. The idea behind the connector is that it could eventually replace the 15-pin VGA connector in consumer electronic components.

DVI Cable (not provided)

There are three different DVI formats: DVI-A for analog signals, DVI-D for digital signals, and DVI-I for integrated signals (both analog and digital).

Your TV has a DVI-D format connector and supports some digital signals. The format is used for direct digital connections between source video and provides a higher-quality image than analog. It eliminates the analog conversion process and improves the connection.

You should know:

• A DVI cable has a 15 feet (5 meters) distance limitation.
- Audio information is carried separately; therefore, connect audio left and right cables.

Explanation of Input Jacks and Cables

This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections (cables may be ordered separately by using the order form on page 85). There are several ways to connect components to your TV.

Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It's important to remember the different degrees of picture improvement for comparison. The component jacks are considered an excellent improvement; S-Video and composite jacks are considered very good, while connecting components with the antenna RF connection is good.

VIDEO INPUT S DVI-HDTV

DTV Link

Digital Audio Output Jack

DVI-HDTV (Digital Visual Interface-High Definition Television) Connector

DVI-HDTV is an uncompressed, high-speed digital visual interface designed to deliver digital video in its native format. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics used by some program guides and interactive components.

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables for Input 5 (DVI-HDTV) because the DVI-HDTV cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

DTVLink® (Digital Television Link) Connectors

DTVLink uses a format better known to some as IEEE-1394 or FireWire®. DTVLink is a compressed digital video input/output offering an IEEE 1394-type connection that meets the CEA specifications. This connection is a high-speed and inexpensive way of interconnecting 1394 compliant consumer electronic components. If your 1394 component has the DTVLink logo on it, it should work with this TV. You can use either or both connectors to link your components but don't connect the components in a loop.

Notes: Audio and video information is carried on a single wire.

The TV outputs audio/video through the 1394 jack (labeled DTVLink) only to a component that enforces video copy protection.

Digital Audio Out Jack and Optical Cable

The optical cable is used to connect an audio receiver with Dolby Digital or PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) audio receiver to your TV. If you own a receiver that uses an optical cable input, you can use an optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality.

Note: This TV's optical digital output jack fully complies with the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3 ^ or PCM) receiver or Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection using anything other than a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage to headphones or speakers.

Ethernet Jack and Cable

This jack is used to connect a router, cable modem or DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) unit with a CAT 5 (ethernet) cable (not provided). It is recommended that you only connect a router to this jack although you could connect a DSL/cable modem directly.

DTVLink® Certification Logo is a U.S. registered mark of CEA.

FireWire® is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

Y P_B P_R Component Jacks

V L R Audio/Video Jacks

Technical illustration of a RF jack component with threaded leads and a close-up view (no text or symbols)

Component Video (Y•Pb•Pr) Jacks and Cables

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks allow you to connect a component, such as a DVD player. This connection provides excellent picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection.

Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y•Pb•Pr cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.

S-Video Jacks and Cables

The S-Video (separate video) jacks provide better picture quality than the regular video jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

If a component you're connecting to your TV (like a DVD player) has an S-VIDEO jack and composite video, connect the component to the TV with an S-Video cable (not provided) for a better quality picture.

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Composite Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). This is also called composite video.

Note: If your component has only one output for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the right (red) audio part of the cable.

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

RF jacks are primarily used for reception of off-air broadcasts and cable signals (possibly older VCRs or cable boxes). The RF and coaxial jacks on the TV are labeled ANTENNA A INPUT and ANTENNA B INPUT.

Back of the TV

The diagrams below illustrate jacks found on the back of the TV. When connecting cables, be sure to connect corresponding outputs and inputs (video in to video out, right audio in to right audio out, etc.).

AUDIO OUTPUTS

• RIGHT and LEFT EXTERNAL SPEAKER Terminals Used to connect external speakers if you don't have an audio amplifier or receiver. For use, if you want better sound than the TV's speakers. See page 14.
• SPEAKER SELECT - EXT. or INT W/EXT SURR Switch Lets you direct where the output of the TV's internal speakers goes. With the switch in the EXT position, you hear the external speakers connected to the TV. In INT W/EXT SURR position, you hear the TV's internal speakers and external speakers connected to the TV for a matrix surround sound effect.

Note: To turn the TV's internal speakers on and off, press MENU on the remote control and choose Audio. Then choose Fixed/Variable Out from the menu and choose an option.

- FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT L/R Provides fixed-level or variable-level audio output from the television. Fixed/Variable is an option in the Audio menu, details on page 66.

- Fixed controls the volume through the audio/video receiver.

- V variable controls the volume through TV.

CENTER CHANNEL INPUT INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE TV EXT AMP

TV's CENTER CHANNEL INPUTS

Caution: Do not connect the A/V receiver's CENTER CHANNEL output to the TV's EXTERNAL SPEAKERS terminals. Damage to TV may occur.

VIDEO INPUT 1 V + L/MONO R AUDIO INPUT 1 S-VIDEO

VIDEO INPUT 3 V PR L/MONO Pb R AUDIO INPUT 3 Y

Tips
Inputs 3/4 can be used as either a component video ( Y P_B P_R ) input or a composite video (V) input. The TV auto detects the connection with Y P_B P_R having highest priority.
PIP cannot be displayed from component (Y•Pb•Pr) inputs.

CENTER SPEAKER INPUT

• INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE - TV / EXT AMP Switch

- TV Position Sound comes from TV's internal speakers.

- EXT AMP Position Internal speakers are used for an external center channel. When an external audio/video receiver's center channel output is connected to the TV's center channel input, center channel audio comes out of the TV's internal speakers.

- CENTER CHANNEL TERMINALS Connect the audio/video receiver's center channel output to the TV's center channel input. Switch the INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE to EXT AMP position.

VIDEO/AUDIO INPUTS

VIDEO INPUT 1/AUDIO INPUT 1 Connect an NTSC (analog) component.

• V (VIDEO) provides composite video connection and connector is usually yellow.
• L/MONO AUDIO provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

Note: If your component has only one output for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the right audio part of the cable.

• R AUDIO provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

- S-VIDEO lets you connect an S-Video cable for better video quality picture to a component with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or DVD player. When using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio cables as well as the S-Video connector.

VIDEO INPUT 2/AUDIO INPUT 2 Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog) video component such as a VCR. The jacks are as described for INPUT 1.

VIDEO INPUT 3/AUDIO INPUT 3 Connect an optional component (Y P B P R ) video source, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. Note that it is essential to match the color coded connectors between a compatible component and the TV.

• AUDIO R/L/MONO The audio jacks provide stereo sound. When connected, audio volume from the main front and rear speakers are variable.
  • V (VIDEO) provides composite video connection and connector is usually yellow.
• Y P_B P_R . Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as three separate parts through these three jacks. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y P_B P_R connections. Accepts 480i, 480p, 1080i signals. Has priority over V connection.

VIDEO INPUT 4/AUDIO INPUT 4 Provides connection to a second optional component video source, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. The jacks are the same as described in INPUT 3.

VIDEO INPUT 5 Lmono R AUDIO INPUT 5 DVI-HDTV

VIDEO INPUT 5/AUDIO INPUT 5 Provides DVI-HDTV and analog audio connections.

• L/MONO AUDIO provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.
  • R AUDIO provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.
• DVI-HDTV provides a digital video connection from a video source to the TV.

RECORD OUTPUT VIDEO AUDIO R L

RECORD OUTPUT Connect a VCR or DVD-recorder to record mainly digital (or analog) programs from Antenna A or B and inputs (excluding DVI-HDTV and some component video formats) while TV is turned on. You must leave TV on same channel you are recording.

• VIDEO provides composite video connection and connector is usually yellow.
- AUDIO L provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.
- AUDIO R provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

Notes: When recording from this output, remember to tune to the channel you are recording.

If an unusual pattern appears when you connect your VCR input to the RECORD OUTPUT, playing a tape or switching to the VCR's tuner removes the pattern.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to connect your TV to a compatible Dolby Digital or PCM receiver or decoder. Dolby Digital offers theatre-quality sound (six audio channels). Use the Digital Audio Out screen in the Audio menu to select Auto Select or PCM as the output for this jack.

ETHERNET Connect a router, cable modem, or Digital Subscriber Line to the TV using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5). Do not connect a telephone cable because of risk of fire or shock. A green light on the jack means that an active network has been detected. An orange light means the data is either being sent or received.

DTVLink Use either or both connectors to connect compatible DTVLink (IEEE-1394) components but don't loop the components together. When connecting several components, use a hub or component-to component method. Be sure to connect the fastest of the 1394 components closer to the connection point of the TV and the slower components furthest away. Details on page 16.

ANTENNA A INPUT / ANTENNA B INPUTs Used to connect an off-air antenna and/or cable TV signal to the TV. If you have both cable and air, connect cable to ANTENNA A and off-air to ANTENNA B. If you have air only, connect it to ANTENNA A. These inputs are also used to receive programming and connect older components.

G-LINK Connect the G-LINK cable for VCR one touch recording and/or cable box control with GUIDE Plus+ system.

Why You Should Connect the G-LINK Cable

The G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen interactive program guide) to work with your VCR and/or cable box.

Cable Box – If your TV is connected to a cable box, you must connect the G-LINK cable to receive TV program listings for your area and to tune directly to a channel when the program guide is on your TV screen.

VCR – If your TV is connected to a VCR and you don't connect the G-LINK cable, one-touch VCR recording and timed recordings won't work. The other features of the guide will work properly.

G-LINK cable G-LINK wands

How to Find the Remote Sensor

You have to place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable boxes and VCRs have the remote sensor labeled on the unit. If the remote sensor isn't labeled on your VCR and/or cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the VCR and/or cable box to locate the sensor.

1. Turn off the VCR and/or cable box.
2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV, but the one that came with the cable box and/or VCR to which you're attaching the G-LINK cable) so that it is touching the front of the component.
3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or cable box) while you press the power button on and off. You must press and release the power button each time you move the remote (holding down the button won't work).

graph LR
    A["Device 1"] --> B["Device 2"]
    B --> C["Device 3"]
    C --> D["Device 4"]

1. When the component turns on, you've located the VCR's or cable box's remote sensor.

Placing the G-LINK Wands

Place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on your VCR and/or cable box approximately one inch away from the remote sensor (see below).

Tips

If you have both a VCR and a cable box, it doesn't matter which wand is connected to which box.

If you don't have both a cable box and a VCR connected to your TV, just coil the cable of the extra G-LINK wand with a twist tie and leave it behind the TV.

Changing Channels

Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might notice that the channels change slower than you're used to. This is perfectly normal. Your HDTV is able to interpret and display both analog (NTSC) and digital (ATSC) signals and the digital subchannels (when available). Also, you may notice that the size of the Channel Banner changes as you scan through analog and digital channels.

Turning the TV On and Off

Your HDTV is equipped with a lamp system that is part of the technology that enables us to design such a thin, light-weight TV with a crisp, bright picture. To prolong the life of the lamp, the TV must properly warm up and cool down. Therefore, the TV doesn't turn off completely right away—it fades from blue to black. In case you accidentally turn off the TV, you can still turn it on while the screen is blue. Once the screen goes black, the lamp's cool-down cycle begins (you may hear a slight humming noise as the lamp cools down). If you try to turn on the TV during the cool-down cycle, the power light on the front of the TV will blink to alert you that you need to wait (when the cool-down cycle is complete—about 30 seconds—the TV turns back on automatically).

Next Steps

Now that you've finished the Assisted Setup, you're ready to watch TV. This might be a good time to program your remote control. The remote control that came with this TV can be programmed to operate other components. Go to the next chapter to find out how to program your remote.

Tip

By default, the AUX button is programmed for a second RCA VCR. If auto tuning is set up, it will tune to VCR2 input channel.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands of remote-controllable VCRs, audio components, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and other components. In addition to being programmed to operate your television, it's already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

The AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-controllable component: satellite receiver, cable box, DVD, VCR, and audio.

Note: The TV button can't be programmed on this remote to control any component; it controls only this TV.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate one of the components connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the following:

1. Turn on the component (in this example, a VCR).
2. Point the remote at the component.
3. Press the corresponding component button (in this example, VCR).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn't respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control to operate other components: Direct Entry and Automatic Code Search.

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn't programmable.
5. Release the component button, point remote at component, and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

- If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

- If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

Using Automatic Code Search

Note: The AUX button can only search VCR codes, but can be used for a non-VCR device by programming it with direct entry method.

If Direct Entry does not work for your component, try Auto Code Search. The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press and hold CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR, DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the component button on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component.
4. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the component button stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. The component buttons flash when all codes have been searched, the component button turns off, and remote exits Automatic Code Search.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the component button on the remote turns off.

Tip

To stop the automatic code search without programming any components, press and hold CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.), it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons.

1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, AUX) to set the remote to control the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of components.

If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)

Tip

Some of the remote's buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you're using another component's menu system.

The Learning Feature

Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV's remote control is programmed to control other components you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that component mode.

After you program the TV's remote control to operate the other component, the TV's remote provides most of the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the component's original remote control that your TV's remote control doesn't have. For example, your DVD remote control might have a ZOOM button that enables you to enlarge the picture, but your TV remote doesn't have that button. The learning feature enables you to record the functionality of a specific button from the original remote control to one of the TV's remote control buttons.

Note: All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different component to that mode.

Up to 2 inches apart

Adding a Learned Function

There are several things to consider before you begin the learning process:

• You can't record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV's remote control: component buttons (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX, and AUDIO), the CLEAR button, and the LIGHT button.
• Before adding a Learned Function, you must program this TV's remote control to operate that component because programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that component mode.
• Do the learning process in low light areas because too much natural light or fluorescent light might cause the learning feature to fail because the remote control functions are recorded (learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals.
• The TV's remote and the original remote should be no more than 2 inches apart.
• In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the other, you must make sure the Infrared (IR) transmitter of the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV's remote (see illustration). To accomplish this, you may have to hold a remote in each hand instead of laying both on the table.

• The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player's remote control, you must press the DVD button first before the learned function will work (in TV mode, the button where you've stored the learned function will continue to work as it always has).

• Press and hold the component button on the TV's remote that applies to the function you will be adding (DVD, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, or AUX). The component button lights.

• On the TV remote, press and hold the RECORD button.
• Keep pressing both of the buttons (the component button and the RECORD button) until the component button light turns off, flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.
• On the TV's remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new function (the component button turns off and then back on).

Note: If you press an invalid button on the TV remote, one of the component button flashes 4 times to alert you. You'll have to repeat step 4.

1. With the remote controls facing each other and no more than 2 inches apart, press and hold the button of the component's remote control that has the functionality you are recording to the TV's remote control. Keep pressing the button until the TV remote's component button light turns off and back on (the function has been saved to the TV remote). If all component buttons flash 4 times, the function wasn't learned. Try again, starting with Step 4.
2. The TV remote control remains in "learning mode" so you can continue adding functions to different buttons by repeating steps 4 and 5. Or, press CLEAR to exit learning mode.

Notes: If you want a new function on a button, you must record (learn) over it.

The amount of memory each learned function uses in the TV's remote control varies. If your TV remote is out of memory, the component button(s) light flashes 4 times and turn off, exiting you from the Learning mode.

Clearing a Learned Function

To delete a learned button function, use the procedure below.

1. Press and hold the component button (the component button lights). Then press and hold the CLEAR button for 3 seconds. Continue depressing both buttons (the component mode button flashes—turns on and off again).
2. Release the component and CLEAR buttons (the component button being programmed turns on). Remote is now in Clear learned function mode.
3. Press and release the button where learning is to be cleared. The component button blinks off then back on—the learned function was cleared successfully.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all buttons' learned functions have been cleared.

Note: If an invalid button is pressed, the component mode button(s) flashes 4 times and the selected component button stays on and remote remains in Clear Learned Function mode. Repeat step 3.

1. Press the CLEAR button and your TV remote returns to its original operation mode.

Deleting ALL Learned Functions

This procedure erases all learned functions in every component mode of the remote.

1. Press and hold the CLEAR button (the current component button lights). Then press and hold the ON•OFF button (component button light turns off for 3 seconds, flashes, turns on and off) while continuing to hold CLEAR.
2. Release both buttons (current component button turns on).
3. Press any component button to delete all learned functions in all modes. Remote is automatically exited from this mode.

Note: Pressing the CLEAR button will NOT delete all learned functions, but will exit the Delete mode.

Volume Punchthrough Feature

You may find this feature helpful if you've connected your components to an audio/video receiver (A/V receiver) or amplifier, but you want to use the TV's remote control to operate the volume for a component that is connected to the audio/video receiver. An example follows:

Let's say you've connected your DVD player to your audio/video receiver. You've also programmed your TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player gets its volume through the audio/video receiver, you would have to bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the A/V receiver's remote to adjust the volume and the TV's remote control to operate the DVD player.

The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a button press when you're using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the a/v receiver whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode.

Therefore, after you've successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only have to press the VOL + or VOL- buttons. Follow the instructions below to set up Volume Punchthrough.

1. IMPORTANT: First, you must program the AUDIO button on the TV's remote control to operate your audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 34 for instructions. If you can't program this remote to operate your audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won't work.
2. While setting up Volume Punchthrough, it's best to point the remote away from components.
3. Decide which mode the remote will be in when the volume from the audio receiver "punches through." The mode will be one of the component buttons (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, VCR, or AUX).
4. Press and hold the VOL- button. Keep pressing VOL- while you press and release the component button you chose in step 3 (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, or AUX).
5. Press and release the AUDIO button since the sound will be coming from the audio/video receiver. Release the VOL-button.
6. Now, test it by turning on your audio receiver or amplifier.
7. Turn on the component that is connected to the audio/video receiver or amplifier (a DVD player, for example).
8. Put the TV's remote in DVD mode by pressing the DVD button, and play a disc.
9. Press VOL+ or VOL-. The volume from the audio receiver should increase or decrease accordingly.

Deleting ALL Volume Punchthrough Commands

To delete all programmed Volume Punchthrough settings and return the remote control back to the factory defaults, press and hold the VOL- button (the component button of the Volume Punchthrough lights). While holding the VOL- button, enter the code, 000, using the number buttons. All component buttons turn on for 2 seconds and then turn off. The remote returns to the factory settings.

Note: If an invalid button is pressed, all component buttons blink 4 times and turn off. At this point, you must start over.

Input source

Front Input DVD 4:3 Normal 480i SDL MPAA - Not Rated

Note: Watch the Channel Banner to see the input sources change each time you press the INPUT button.

Using the INPUT Button

1. Repeatedly press the INPUT button to scroll through the available input sources until you find the input associated with the component (such as VCR or DVD player) you want to view.

2. Once you find the input source you want, stop pressing INPUT.

- If you tune to INPUT 1 and your VCR is connected to that input, you will be able to view your VCR. To play, stop, or rewind the VCR tape using the remote that came with your TV, you must first press the VCR, or AUX button (if AUX is programmed to VCR) to put the remote control in VCR mode.

There are other ways of selecting a Video Input Channel:

- Program the component (VCR, DVD, etc.) buttons on the remote control to automatically tune to the correct Video Input Channel when pressed. For more details on Auto Tuning, see Chapter 3.

- When viewing an input, press ANTENNA, GO BACK, or INPUT to go back to viewing channels or use the number buttons to enter the channel number.

About the Channel Banner

The Channel Banner appears when you press the TV or INFO button on the remote. If an icon in the channel banner is grayed out (dim), the feature is not available. The following list describes the items on the Channel Banner screen (left to right and top to bottom). Other displays that are not described here are self-explanatory.

Note: You may notice the size of the channel banner changes when you change channels. This is perfectly normal and occurs because analog (NTSC) broadcasts and digital (ATSC) broadcasts use different formats. Your HDTV can display both types and adjusts the picture accordingly.

The icons change appearance to show the item's status or availability.

Program Title/Acquiring Channel Title of program or track (if available) or Acquiring Channel appears when tuning a channel.

00:30 Displays the time remaining before the TV tunes back to the channel where Commercial Skip was activated.

MPAA - Not Rated

V-chip program rating (not the TV's rating set up in Parental Control menu).

16:9 1080i HD

Aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9); original resolution of the broadcast, not the resolution of the TV; HD or SD. For more information about aspect ratio and broadcast resolution, go to page 2.

Digital or Analog TV Channels

A single off-air antenna can pick up both analog and digital channels. Digital channels can be made up of primary channels and subchannels.

Note: Subchannels (sometimes called minor channels) are channels associated with the Primary channel (sometimes called the major channel). A primary channel may have just one subchannel or multiple subchannels.

Tip

If a digital and analog channel have the same primary channel number, tune to the analog channel by entering the analog channel number or entering the analog channel number and then a subchannel of "0."

1. Make sure the TV is in TV mode by pressing TV on the remote control.
2. Enter the primary channel number (up to three digits). This number appears in the primary channel entry box. Press OK or wait a few seconds. If you don't enter a subchannel, the TV tunes to the lowest subchannel.
3. If the primary channel number has fewer than three digits and you want to enter subchannel numbers, press the right arrow button to advance to the subchannel entry box.
4. Enter the number of the subchannel. This number appears in the subchannel entry box.
5. Press OK to tune to the channel or wait a few seconds.

Notes:

You can always use the channel up and down buttons on the remote control to change channels within the TV mode.

You may notice the size of the channel banner changes when you change channels. This is perfectly normal and occurs because analog (NTSC) broadcasts and digital (ATSC) broadcasts use different formats. Your HDTV can display both types and adjusts the picture accordingly.

If you wait too long before entering the subchannel, the TV tunes to the lowest subchannel.

Tips

The GUIDE Plus+ system automatically comes up when you use the TV or ON/OFF button on the remote to turn on the TV. You can turn off this feature by selecting Setup from the GUIDE Plus+ menu options, selecting Options, then setting Auto Display to Off.

Also, since the program information provided by the GUIDE Plus+ system is based on your locale, you will need to run Setup again if you move to a different ZIP or postal code.

About the GUIDE Plus+ System

The GUIDE Plus+ system is a no-fee, on-screen program guide that lists TV schedules for your area and allows your TV direct control of a cable box and/or VCR. You must first set up the GUIDE Plus+ system in order to view this on-screen program guide (see Chapter 1 for details).

There are six sections of the GUIDE Plus+ system:

Whenever the GUIDE Plus+ system is activated in the TV, the last-viewed channel of Antenna A appears in the video window.

The GUIDE Plus+ system screens illustrated in this book are representations of what you are likely to see. Not all channels, programs, and GUIDE Plus+ information depicted will be available in your area.

NoYes Warning: Unlocking the TV turns off the rating limits, the Locked List, and blocking features. Press OK to continue.

Parental Controls

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children cannot see certain programs, channels, browser, or use the buttons on the front of the TV. The Parental Controls menu also involves software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which lets you program your TV so it won't display certain programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. Once you block programs, you or other adults can unblock programs by entering a password to unlock video or enter the password to edit the features in the Parental Controls menu. By default, the software inside your TV is turned "off," so if you don't want to use this feature, you can just ignore it.

The options of the Parental Controls menu are Unlock/Lock TV, Video Input List, Antenna A List, Antenna B List, USA V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, V-Chip Unrated, Front Button Block, and Web Browser Block.

Lock/Unlock TV

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock the parental controls and the TV using a password. It also affects the channel lists. If you select the Unlock option when watching TV, you see the channels that have a check mark in the Unlocked List. If you select Lock when watching TV, you see the channels that are Viewable in the Locked List. If the TV is locked, all channels can still be accessed by using the number buttons on the remote control but may not be viewed if they are blocked (enter password to see program).

Notes: When locking the TV, you'll be asked to enter a password and then to re-enter the password a second time to re-confirm your password choice.

If you do not lock the TV, none of the settings for V-Chip, channel block, front panel block, and web browser block take effect.

If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold the MENU/OK button on the front panel and VOLUME down button on the remote for three seconds. This resets the password only and unlocks the TV; all other settings in Parental Controls are not changed.

If you've locked the TV, set a record timer in the GUIDE Plus+ system and you aren't there to provide your password, the recording takes place only if the program doesn't exceed the V-Chip ratings, and channel is in the unlocked list.

Each channel can be added or deleted in the list and made blocked or viewable.

Channel Lists (Video Input List, Antenna A List, Antenna B List)

The channel lists contain the following information: major channel number (with subchannel number only if a digital channel), channel call letters (when channel is tuned), Locked List, and Unlocked List. The major channels listed in Antenna A List and Antenna B List for off-air or cable sources are based on the channel search results. If a major channel is not found by Channel Search, then it is not listed. A Channel Search does not affect the Video Input List; all video inputs are listed.

For each major channel 0 through 125 found through channel search in Antenna A and B Lists, there are six subchannels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to 999). The subchannels are the same for every major channel and are not based on which subchannels a broadcaster is actually broadcasting. Subchannels are not supported for major channels 126 through 999. Even if a subchannel is checked in Antenna A/B List, it won't be tuned to when you press CH + if the channel doesn't exist. An analog channel (major) and a digital channel (subchannel) can share the same channel number and are both listed in the Antenna A/B List screens.

Editing Channels in the Channel Lists

All the lists are only editable through the Unlocked List and Locked List in the Parental Controls menu You can remove or "hide" a channel from the Unlocked List by removing the checkmark in the checkbox. Also, you can remove or "hide" a channel from the Locked List by selecting Blocked in the Locked List. When you press the channel buttons, that channel will be skipped. When the TV is locked, you can still access the channel directly by using the number buttons on the remote control but may not be able to see the video until a valid password is entered.

You can also add ALL or delete ALL channels in a list by changing the checkbox or choice field in the line that says All channels, but be very careful because you could erase all of your selections.

Notes: The Guide Plus+ system and Parental Controls both have a channel selection feature.

The Channel feature in the GUIDE Plus+ system controls which channels appear in the guide and has no effect on which channels appear in the channel lists, and vice versa.

If a cable box is connected to Antenna A, the channel list can be edited for Antenna A in the Parental Controls menu. If a cable box is connected via INPUT1, the channel list cannot be edited. You can only use channel up/down or use the number buttons.

How V-Chip Works for the USA and Canada

The V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the TV software the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains and the TV is locked and you tune to a program whose rating exceeds the rating limit you set, you will receive a message telling you that the program is not approved for viewing.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating and the TV is locked. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated," or "Exempt" and programs that are considered "unrated" with the V-Chip Unrated menu. The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are in the table on the next page.

1. Choose Parental Controls from the Main menu. If Parental Controls (TV) have previously been locked, you must enter your password.
2. Highlight and select USA V-Chip.
3. Highlight and select V-Chip TV Rating.
4. Once you get to the V-Chip TV Rating screen, use the arrow buttons and OK on your remote to change the status of a TV program rating or content theme from Viewable to Blocked.

Age-Based Rating	USA Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings
TV-MA	Mature Audience Only. Specifically designed to be viewed by adults and may be unsuitable for children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V).
TV-14	Parents Strongly Cautioned. Contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).
TV-PG	Parental Guidance Suggested. Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The program contains one or more of the following content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or moderate violence (V).
TV-G	General Audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains little or no sexual dialogue (D) or situations (S), no strong language (L), and little or no violence (V).
TV-Y7	Directed to Children 7 years and older. Designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7.
TV-Y	All Children. Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including children from ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.

Blocking Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1. First, determine the lowest level rating you don't want the child to watch (see chart of age-based ratings on previous page).
2. Highlight the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. In the example discussed above, you would highlight TV-PG, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G.
3. Press the OK button to toggle between Viewable and Blocked. The status for the rating listed to the right and all higher ratings automatically change to Blocked (and B).
4. Select Lock TV from the Parental Controls menu. Enter a password and re-enter password a second time to confirm the password.

After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of changing some of the ratings back to Viewable (V).

1. Determine which blocked rating you want to view.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the rating with a status of Blocked.

You must remember to lock the TV for rating limits to take effect.

Blocking Specific Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.

To block program content:

1. Determine the lowest level of content you don't want the child to watch.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the age-based ratings that correspond with the lowest content you do not want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would highlight TV-PG.)
3. Press the OK button to change content status from (V) Viewable to (B) Blocked. All higher ratings' content themes change to Blocked.

Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or age-based ratings.

You must remember to lock the TV for rating limits to take effect.

Viewing Specific Content Themes

If you block specific content themes, you have the option of going back and changing some of the content themes back to (V) Viewable:

Content Themes
D Sexually explicit dialogue
L Adult language
S Sexual situations
V	V i o l
FV Fantasy Violence

1. Determine the content themes you want to change to (V) Viewable.

2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the age-based rating whose content theme you want to change to Viewable

3. Press the OK button to change its status back to V. Your child would then be able to watch programs with TV-14 adult language content, but not programs with TV-PG or TV-MA language content.

n Note: cOnly the content theme status corresponding to TV-14 (L) language changes to (V) View. Higher rated content themes, such as that for TV-MA language, do not change.

2. Press the OK button to change the button from Blocked to Viewable.

For example, if movies with a rating of PG-13 and higher are blocked, you can change the rating status corresponding with NC-17. Your child would then be able to watch all movies with a G, PG, and NC-17 Rating.

1. Exit the screen, and be sure the TV is locked.

With the Auto Tuning feature, you can set up the TV to tune to the channel you want to watch by pressing that component's button. Auto Tuning for the TV button cannot be set.

Auto Tuning Feature

The way you set up the Auto Tuning feature in the TV's menu corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you're telling the TV what channel to tune to when you press the VCR, DVD, or SAT/CAB button on the remote control. This is especially useful for going directly to an input like a 1394 input.

Note: AUX by default is set up for a second RCA VCR. Or, you can program VCR or AUX to operate a second RCA VCR with the 2001 code. Also, any VCR programmed to the AUX button becomes "VCR2" button and controllable by auto tuning.

1. Press MENU (the MAIN MENU appears)
2. Highlight Connections and press OK.
3. Highlight Auto Tuning and press OK
4. Highlight the component button field and continually press OK to scroll through the selection of inputs.

PIP (Picture-in-Picture) Operation

The PIP (Picture-In-Picture) feature lets you display a second, smaller analog (NTSC format) picture on top of the main analog picture. The main and PIP channels must be from the same antenna A or B; you cannot have the main picture from Antenna A and the PIP picture from Antenna B. However, inputs can use PIP regardless if Antenna A or B is used for the main or PIP picture. You will only be able to use the PIP window and main picture with analog channels.

Tip
If you want to go directly to an input or channel in PIP (or main), set up auto tuning and press the component button.

PIP Buttons

There are certain remote buttons that control the way the PIP window works:

PIP Brings up the PIP window. Press PIP again to remove the window.

Arrows Let you move the PIP window to different areas of the screen.

SWAP Switches the video from the PIP window to the main picture.

FREEZE Freezes entire screen, including the main picture and PIP window, if PIP is displayed. Does not support all inputs.

CH CTRL (Channel Control) Lets you switch channel control between the PIP window and the main picture. To determine whether you are controlling the PIP or the main picture, look at the channel banner as you change channels or press INFO button. The triangular indicator (▷) beside the channel number lets you know which picture you're controlling with channel up/down, number buttons, etc.

Using the PIP Feature

The PIP feature is only available for analog (NTSC) channels. PIP won't work when tuned to a digital (ATSC) channel. Use the channel banner to determine whether a channel is digital or analog. A digital (ATSC) channel has a dash and second number after it (e.g., 21-1); an analog channel doesn't (e.g., Ch 21). While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario should get you started. When watching an analog channel, follow these steps.

1. Press the PIP button on the remote control. The PIP window appears on the screen and Channel Control is automatically set to the PIP window.
2. Use the channel up and down or number buttons to change the PIP channel.
3. To change the program in the main picture window, press CH CTRL. Then use the channel up and down or number buttons. To go back and forth between controlling the PIP window and the main picture, press the CH CTRL button.

PIP Problems?

- If you are channel surfing and the PIP disappears, you may have tuned to a digital channel. To view PIP and the main picture, make sure that both the main and PIP channels are analog inputs, or signals. Continue changing the channel until you find an analog (NTSC format) channel. The PIP window will reappear.

The message "PIP Not Viewable or Exceeds Rating" in the channel banner lets you know that PIP is not available on this channel and you should tune to another channel.

• If you press PIP and the PIP window is gray, you may have activated the Parental Control feature and the program exceeds the rating limits you set. For information on removing limits, see the section "Parental Controls."
  • You cannot view closed captioning in the PIP window.
• PIP channel skips all digital (ATSC) TV channels and tunes to analog channels.
• PIP cannot be displayed from component (Y•Pb•Pr) inputs.

Tip

A typical use of SWAP is to scan through channels in the PIP window, and when you find a channel you like, press SWAP to display that channel in the main picture.

0 Call Back 1 Climb Plus - Menu 2 Picture Quality 3 Audio 4 Time 5 Parental Controls 6 Connections 7 Preferences 8 Assisted Setup 9 Web Browser Main Menu This television has a built-in web browser for linking to the Internet. To fully operate the web browser, you will need the right keyboard, a connection to the Internet via the Ethernet jack, and an Internet service provider. Some remote keys will allow limited pointing (arrow keys), selection (OK key), and RACK and FORWARD web page navigation (REVERSE and FORWARD keys). To suit the browser from the remote, press CLEAR. To open the web browser now, press OK. Press OK or ▶ to launch the web browser and connect to the Internet.

Important: To use the TV's web browser, you must have your TV connected to the Internet (e.g., cable modem or DSL) and subscribe to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

You can start the browser on your TV by selecting it from the main menu. The TV front panel and remote control provide basic navigation without a keyboard. If you launch the browser from the main menu, a message pops up to suggest that you use a keyboard to use with this TV to connect to the Internet.

The optional keyboard will allow you to get optimum use of web browser features. The keyboard (model number KBR755TA1) is available at www.rca.com/keyboard or 800-798-5875.

When you start the browser for the first time, it goes to an RCA website. All FAV keyboard buttons are also initially programmed to that site. The FAV SEARCH and FAV HOME buttons on the keyboard default to a search site but you can reprogram them.

The FORMAT button on your remote (or keyboard) allows you to cycle through various combinations of a less than full screen browser and some TV video. Just press the button again to use a different format.

To close the browser entirely, press CLEAR on the remote.

You may discover that other browser windows are open. This may be the result of a pop-up window being delivered from the site you were viewing. Press "Close Window" button to close it or click the "Close Window icon" on the window.

Note: The browser won't display streaming video or audio, and some animated graphics.

Browser Times Out Automatically

If the browser is idle for a period of time, a pop-up message appears to remind you to turn it off when you are not using it and/or the browser closes automatically.

You may notice that the usual browser menu and on-screen buttons that you may be accustomed to using with your PC are not displayed on-screen. Instead, these functions are provided on your remote or optional keyboard.

Tips

If you use the video window in the browser and you press channel up/down and the video window seems to disappear, this means you've either tuned to a channel which is blocked or has a weak signal. Use the channel up/down to go to another channel.

Sometimes the browser locks onto an incompatible website and it won't open. Exiting the browser will not correct this condition. When the browser is restarted, the browser returns to the last-used website. To correct this condition, either press a FAV button to go to a known good website or press "Address" and enter a good website.

Inputs cannot be viewed in the video window of the browser.

You can use channel up/down to tune to a different channel in the video window. Number keys cannot be used to tune channels in the video window.

Saving Your Favorite URLs

Program any favorite (FAV) key, including HOME and SEARCH, to any URL (website address). After you've browsed to a favorite URL, just press the desired key and hold it until a message appears. That site's URL will be assigned to the key you pressed and saved in the TV. The next time you press the key briefly, the browser will automatically go to the site you saved.

You can store 32 additional URLs (websites) by using the following buttons together: SHIFT and FAV, CTRL and FAV, ALT and FAV.

If you have the optional keyboard, previously visited sites are also available as a drop-down listing from the address bar. The list can hold only a certain number of addresses, so at some point a new address will replace the oldest one.

Controlling the Web Browser

As stated previously, the remote control and front panel buttons support only basic browser functions. However, the optional keyboard makes browser navigation much easier and is the only way to enter a URL address. Below is a table that shows which remote buttons work what function.

1394 Recording

The 2-way 1394 DTVLink jacks enable you to connect a compatible Audio/Video Hard Disk Drive (AVHDD) and/or a Digital VCR (DVCR) so you can record and play digital content. The recommended AVHDD component is model DVR10, available at your local RCA dealer or www.rca.com. The DVR10 is an IEEE-1394 hard disk drive that includes time-shift features, such as recording and pausing TV (digital signals only).

Press OK or > to access the 1394 Setup menu.

You should know:

• Only digital content can be recorded. Analog TV programs cannot be recorded through the TV's 1394 jack.
• You can only record content if the IEEE-1394 component connected enforces copy protection standards (check your DVCR or AVHDD manual).
• When the TV is tuned to the 1394 input channel and the remote is in the TV mode, you can use the remote for some basic transport controls, such as RECORD, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REVERSE, PAUSE, and PLAY.

• Don't change channels when you are recording because recording will automatically stop. However, you can tune to one of the TV's Video Input Channels (for instance, if you want to watch a DVD or videotape that's in a DVD player or VCR that you connected to your TV).

• A dialogue box appears when you press the RECORD button to let you know the 1394 component is recording the channel that you selected.

• You can select a default recording preference: record all subchannels on a major channel or record only a specific subchannel.

Recording just the subchannel saves space on the AVHDD. Also, a DVCR may not be able to record more than one subchannel because of the DVCR's data rate.

However, if you're recording to an AVHDD or DVCR and choose to record only to a specific subchannel, you may see a blank screen when playing back at first. You'll need to use the CH+ or CH- button to go through the subchannels before you get to the subchannel you recorded. This happens because the data of all the subchannels is recorded, but not the content—only the content (or complete signal) for the specified subchannel is recorded.

- The program name, channel, track number, DTVLink-model name, and elapsed time for 1394 recordings appear in the channel banner (some information only available for AVHDD and not for DVCR). To access the channel banner, press INFO on the remote control. Press the up/down arrow buttons to scroll through the track numbers (recordings) in the channel banner. For the different subchannels, press the CH+ or CH-. In addition, pressing the left arrow allows instant replay and pressing the right arrow skips ahead on an AVHDD.Program tracks can be deleted by using the CLEAR button when the track to be removed is selected. Use the arrow button to select yes in the alert panel and press OK.

Once the timed recording is set up, the TV automatically makes a timed 1394 recording if the channel is digital, no matter what signal source is selected. The recording takes place every day for the duration that is selected in the Record/Wake menu.

Set up 1394 Recording Preferences

To successfully record digital content via the 1394 DTVLink Input/Output Jack, you need to set up the 1394 Recording screen.

1. Go to the 1394 Setup menu.
2. Highlight 1394 Recording, and press the OK button (only 1394 components that are capable of recording appear). If you have more than one 1394 recording component, you need to pick the 1394 default recording component (i.e., the component which records when you press RECORD on the remote or set up a Record/Wake Timer).
3. If you have an AVHDD connected, put a check in the box for auto tuning because auto tuning lets you see the digital channel being recorded and you can use instant replay, pause, etc.

Note: If you don't check the auto tuning box, pressing RECORD will only start recording—it doesn't switch the TV to the 1394 input—you'll need to use the INPUT button to channel through the inputs.

Tip

You can still add a channel that was not found by Channel Search, just tune to it by using the number buttons on the remote. If the channel can be locked, it will be added to the channel list.

Antenna Info

This screen lists any channel EVER added to the TV. The list shows the channel number, the station name when tuned, e.g. NBC, whether the channel is digital or analog, which antenna is picking up the channel, and current signal strength of digital channels.

When you move the highlight to the Antenna Info list, the TV attempts to tune to the channel. You can then adjust your off-air antenna for maximum signal strength (largest number) for the selected channel. The signal strength for a digital channel will be shown as “- -” until the signal is strong enough for use, then numbers will appear. Analog channels will always have the display, “N/A”, since analog signal strength is not measured.

Only primary channels appear in the list. Subchannels, e.g. 8-1, 8-2, do not appear.

Channel Search

Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the terrestrial TV channels available through the antenna inputs. When the TV finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) aren't placed in the channel list.

The Channel Search screen lets you choose a Full Search or a Quick Search.

Full Search Searches both Antenna A and B, and automatically detects whether they are cable or off-air.

Note: A Full Search can take several minutes.

Quick Search Searches only for channels on the antenna you're currently using and uses the current Air or Cable setting. For optimum reception, you need to conduct a Quick Search after you've adjusted a terrestrial antenna because the TV might pick up new channels.

Notes: Channel Search takes a long time to complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being searched.

If a cable box is connected to Antenna A and GUIDE Plus+ Setup was performed, a channel search will not be permitted.

Screen Format

The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image of a 4:3 picture is displayed on your 16:9 screen. The options are Normal, Zoom or Stretch. If your TV receives an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image can be displayed in one of three ways:

Normal The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered with black bars on the right and left sides of the screen.

Stretch The image of a 4:3 video signal is stretched horizontally by approximately 33% while the vertical size stays the same.

Zoom The image of a 4:3 video signal increases by approximately 33% and the vertical size increases by approximately 33%.

Notes: There is no ability provided to change the screen format for a 16:9 video signal since it fills up the entire area of the TV's screen.

The FORMAT button on the remote gives you access to change the format with a one-button press rather than navigating through the menu system.

Normal and Stretch do not affect Record Output; Zoom may alter the original video.

Some programs are copy protected and cannot be recorded. If the REC icon in the banner is dim, a recording cannot be made because of copy protection limits. If REC icon is bright, the program can be recorded.

The format of some video cannot be changed even though it appears to be a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.

Use the FORMAT button to view screen formats (Zoom, Stretch) other than those with side panels. Some video formats may not be able to be changed with the FORMAT button.

Record Output

16:9 signals can be recorded in one of two ways: Cropped Recording (Center Cut) and Anamorphic Mode Recording. Cropped Recording records the center of a 16:9 signal and the Anamorphic Mode Recording compresses the 16:9 signal into a 4:3 area.

Notes: To make the "cleanest" recording, avoid using PIP, the GUIDE Plus+ system, freeze function, browser, or zoom screen format. Doing so will have unwanted effects on the recorded video.

The TV does not need to be on to make a recording as long as the recording being made was set up in the GUIDE Plus+ system. When the TV is off, the Record Output may show the TV tuning channels in a data acquisition activity. This is normal.

If an unusual pattern appears when you connect your VCR input to the RECORD OUTPUT, playing a tape or switching to the VCR's tuner removes the pattern.

TV Problems

TV won't turn on

• Press the TV button or ON/OFF button while remote is in TV mode and there's a source of power to the outlet or outlet strip.
• Make sure the TV is plugged in.
• Does the power light on the front of the TV blink several times? If so, the TV is in its cool-down cycle. Wait 30 seconds. If the TV doesn't turn on automatically after 30 seconds, turn it on manually.
• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is "live" by plugging in something else.
• Something might be wrong with your remote control. Press the POWER button on the front of the TV. If the TV turns on, check the remote control solutions on page 80.
• When you first plug your TV into an outlet, the Power LED on the front panel will light for approximately 15 seconds and then go off during the initialization of the TV. The TV can only be turned on after the Power LED goes off. This happens every time power is reapplied to the TV.

Power Light is blinking or flashing

The power light serves as an indicator. There are two scenarios for why the power light would blink:

Light blinks slowly: you've tried to turn on the TV when the lamp unit is cooling. Wait approximately 30

seconds and the TV will turn on automatically when the cooldown cycle is complete.

Light blinks slowly for several seconds, pauses for about a minute, blinks again, and pauses for about a

minute: the TV is trying to connect with the lamp unit. One of two things will happen:

• The power light will start flashing for approximately 1 minute — this means the lamp unit needs to be replaced (go to page 84 for ordering information).
• The TV will turn on (the TV has successfully connected with the lamp unit).

Buttons don't work

• If you're using the remote control, press the TV button first to make sure the remote is in TV mode.
• The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Front Button Block in the Parental Controls menu and choosing Front Buttons Unblocked.
• Unplug the TV for five minutes and then plug it back in. Turn the TV on and try again.

TV turns off while playing

• Sleep Timer, Wake-up Timer, or Watch feature may have been activated. Go to page 45 or 69 for instructions.
• Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.
  • The sleep timer may be set.
• Unplug. Wait five minutes. Plug in again.

TV turns on unexpectedly

- Wake-up Timer feature or Watch from the GUIDE Plus+ system may have been activated. Go to page 45 or 69 for instructions.

Video and audio are out of sync

- If your TV is connected to an audio/video (A/V) receiver or home theatre system via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack, read the following information.

If you've connected a component to your A/V receiver, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver, you may experience a slight delay between the audio heard and the video seen. This occurs because the digital audio is sent directly to the speakers while the video must be processed inside the TV before it is displayed.

• If the component has Component Video (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks, connect these jacks to the TV's Y, Pb, Pr jacks to minimize the discrepancy. This works best if the component supports Progressive Scan technology.
• If necessary, you can connect the component directly to the TV using L/R audio jacks and bypassing the A/V receiver or you can program an audio delay in the A/V receiver so the audio and video match up (not all audio equipment has the ability to program delays). Check the Audio/Video Receiver's manual.

Blank screen

• Make sure you have connected the component to the TV correctly.
• Make sure the component connected to the TV is turned on and tuned to the corresponding Video Input Channel.

• Try another channel.

• When you first turn off TV, the screen fades from blue to black. Once the screen goes black, the TV's internal lamp starts its cool-down cycle. If you try to turn on the TV during the cool-down cycle, the power light on the front of the TV will blink to alert you that you need to wait (when the cool-down cycle is complete—about 30 seconds—the TV turns back on automatically).
• If you're trying to tune to a digital (ATSC) channel that you know exists, you may need to disable the Digital Channel Info. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU); choose Preferences (press 7); choose Digital Channel Info (press 8). If you're using the TV's Web Browser, it times out automatically when idle for a period of time.
• If you're trying to play a 1394 Recording, you may have accessed an "unrecorded" subchannel. Press the CH+ or CH- buttons to go through the subchannels before you get to the subchannel you recorded. This occurs even when you've selected to record only a specific subchannel because of how digital (ATSC) channels are broadcast and recorded by your 1394 device—the data for the subchannel is recorded, but not the content.

Unusual sound quality

- Check the Graphic Equalizer, SRS, and Sound Logic settings.

Humming or buzzing noise

• The TV is in its lamp cool-down cycle. To prolong the life of the TV's lamp system, the TV must warm up and cool down properly. You may notice additional noise during these cycles.
• Maybe the speakers are turned off. Check the FIXED/VARIABLE OUT control panel in the Audio menu.

No picture, sound okay

- If the indicator on the front of the TV is blinking, the lamp inside of your TV may need to be changed. Go to page 84 for ordering information.

No sound, picture okay

• Maybe the sound is muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.
• Maybe the speakers are turned off in the Audio menu. Check the FIXED/VARIABLE OUT control panel in the Audio menu.
• If using an S-Video connection, DVI-HDTV, component video and composite video, remember to also connect the component's L and R AUDIO OUT jacks to the TV's L and R INPUT jacks.
• Check the position of the INT' W/EXT' SURR and EXT' switch on the back of the TV.
  • Make sure the correct Audio Processor mode (Mono, Stereo, SRS, SRS FOCUS and SRS TruSurround XT) is selected.

Can't select certain channel

• May be blocked or not approved in the Parental Controls menu.
• If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).
• You can't change channels when a menu is on the screen (press the CLEAR button).

Noisy stereo reception

- May be a weak station. Use Audio menu to choose Mono sound.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

• Maybe the cable/air function is set to the wrong position. Select GUIDE Plus+ Menu from the Main menu, select the GUIDE Plus+ Setup option, and provide the correct information on the following screens. Go to pages 46-47 for detailed instructions.
• The channel might be blank — change channels.

- If you're watching your VCR and it's connected with coaxial cable to the CABLE/ANTENNA jack, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your VCR). Also check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).

- If a channel doesn't exist and you tune to scrambled QAM channel or a 720p input, Unusable Signal appears.

Sound okay, picture poor

• Check antenna and video connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.
• Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 64 for more instructions.

- Press the FORMAT button repeatedly to view the picture in different video formats. Analog channels may look better when you use the Normal video format (the video format appears on the right side of the channel banner).

Black box appears on the screen

- Closed-captioning might be on. Check the Caption Display control panel in the Preferences menu. Go to page 72 for more instructions.

Every time I turn on the TV, the Guide is on the screen

- The GUIDE Plus+ system automatically appears on the screen when you use the TV button on the remote to turn on the TV. You can turn off this feature by pressing GUIDE on your remote control and then select the Menu bar. Press the right arrow button to select Setup. Choose Review options and select OFF.

GUIDE Plus+ System Problems

GUIDE Plus+ setup won't turn off tape for VCR setup and/or channel 02 cable box

• Check to see if the G-LINK wands are positioned correctly in front of components' remote sensors.
  • GUIDE Plus+ system control of cable box is slower than direct control of the box itself. Keep this in mind when changing channels.
• You may have an incorrect GUIDE Plus+ Channel Lineup. The guide may get out of sync with the cable provider. Use the GUIDE Plus+ Setup in the GUIDE Plus+ Menu to change the zip code to 99999. Turn the TV off for 10 minutes. Use Setup again to change the zip code back to the correct value. If asked, be sure to select the correct channel lineup from the on-screen list.

Program information doesn't download

• Review your setup information and make sure it's correct. Press MENU on the remote and select GUIDE Plus+ System menu and then Setup. Go to page 47 for detailed instructions about the GUIDE Plus+ Setup menus.
• The TV must be off to download information. Leave your TV off overnight, for at least 10 hours, to receive the initial download for your area.
• If you're using a cable box, leave it on so you can receive program information.
• The GUIDE Plus+ system doesn't display program listings for satellite TV.

Scheduled Watch or Record doesn't occur

• Check Schedule for timer conflicts. Go to page 46 for instructions.
  • Make sure the wands of the G-LINK cable are placed in front of the remote sensor(s) on the component(s).

• Make sure your VCR is turned off during the time you've scheduled to record a program because the system turns the VCR on when it starts recording (if it's already on when recording starts, the system will turn it off).

• Make sure there is a tape in the VCR and that the VCR is connected properly.

• Make sure VCR is tuned to the line input. Don't change channels.
• Be sure that you set up the VCR in the GUIDE Plus+ Setup menus. If you don't complete the Configuring for a VCR steps successfully, the Record option won't be available. Go to page 28 for detailed instructions.
• If a cable box is attached to your TV, make sure you set it up correctly in the GUIDE Plus+ Setup menus. Go to page 27 for detailed instructions.
• The guide comes up each time you turn on the TV. You can disable the guide by going to the Auto-on feature in the GUIDE Setup menu and select Review Options.

Doesn't tune to correct antenna input

- Because of occasional irregular data, the guide may inadvertently tune to the incorrect antenna input in the video window or when using CLEAR to exit the guide.

The Remote Control Doesn't Work

• Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path.
• Maybe the remote isn't aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) that you're trying to operate.
• Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so the remote controls the TV.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. If batteries are weak, you will not be able to activate backlighting on the remote; instead, backlight will blink once when activated. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)
• When using the Learning feature, do the learning process in low light areas to prevent natural light and fluorescent light interfering with the infrared signals.
• For Volume Punchthrough, remember to program the AUDIO button on the TV's remote control to operate your audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 34 for instructions. If you can't program this remote to operate your audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won't work.

Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls

The rating limits don't work

- You must lock the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Controls (press 5 on your remote), select Lock TV (press 1 on your remote).

I don't remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

- If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the television and VOL down on the remote for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock TV.

The V-Chip won't let me watch a program even though it's not rated as violent.

- Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set V-Chip Unrated to View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.

Problems with 1394 Recording/Playback

• Make sure the 1394 components are not looped. See page 16.
• If the network speed seems slow, make sure the 1394 component that has the fastest speed is first at point of connection to TV. Check component manual's for network speed. See page 16 for more information.
• Make sure the program is digital (ATSC) or no recording will take place.
• If a program is not recorded, it could be the 139% component enforces copy protection standards.
• If you cannot find the program you recorded, channel through the subchannels.

- THE WARRANTY STATED ABOVE IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLED (INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. NO VERBAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION GIVEN BY THOMSON INC., ITS AGENTS OR EMPOLOYEES SHALL CREATE A GUARANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY. - REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE CONSUMER.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.

You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

The TV's screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.

Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.

While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.
