8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-
ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app-
aratus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appli-
ance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties
of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-
sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ulti-
mately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electron-

age and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connect-
ed to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may
result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

Items Included with This TV
FEATURES
Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incom-
ing signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature
monitors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise
reduction control.
Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs,
DVDs, High Definition Receivers or other devices, providing
quality TV picture and sound playback.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control keeps the TV sound at
an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program
changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more
consistent, comfortable sound.
Channel Lock allows you to block the viewing of certain chan-
nels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your
children to view inappropriate materials.
Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available
channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only
active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.
AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color,
tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as
sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the
push of one button. Selections include, Personal, Rich, Natural,
Soft, Multimedia, or Eco.
AutoSound™ allows you to change to different factory pre-
defined audio settings and a personal control that you set accord-
ing to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound menu.
The five factory-set controls (Personal, Speech, Music, Movie,
and Multimedia) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to
enhance the particular programming you are watching.
Channel Remove allows you to delete channels from the list
stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Remove makes it easy to
limit the number of channels that are available to you when you
press the Channel (+) or (–) buttons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dia-
logue or voice conversations as onscreen text.
Dynamic Contrast helps to sharpen the picture quality by
improving the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of
the picture.
Pixel Plus™ (or Digital Processing) gives a choice of two dif-
ferent scanning techniques – Progressive Scan or Pixel Plus.
Progressive Scan doubles the number of picture lines, elimi-
nating line flicker and providing a jitter-free picture.
Pixel Plus
™
improves the appearance of onscreen motion.
The number of picture lines are increased along with the
number of pixels per line, giving normal broadcast signals,
DVD reproduction or Digital TV signals, unparalleled sharp-
ness and depth. Gives the viewer near High Definition and
natural looking detail without the High Definition signal.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-
controlled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable convert-
ers, satellite receivers, etc.
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for
setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or
Spanish).
Your new television and its packing contain materials that
can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recy-
cle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials
and minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed.
Your product also uses batteries that should not be thrown
away when depleted, but should be handed in and disposed of
as small chemical waste.
When you replace your existing equipment, please find out
about the local regulations regarding disposal of your old tel-
evision, batteries, and packing materials.
END-OF-LIFE DISPOSAL
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount
of time that you choose.
Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) chan-
nel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable.
Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twin-
speaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broad-
cast in stereo sound.
Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the chan-
nels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have pro-
grammed into the TV’s Surf control through the onscreen menu).

A75-ohm coaxial cable connects signals
from an antenna or a cable TV company
to the antenna jack on the back of the TV.
Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
Atwo-way signal splitter enables you to
take a single antenna or cable TV signal
and supply it to two different inputs.
A300- to 75-ohm twin-lead adapter
accepts the antenna cables (called twin-
lead wires) from an antenna, allowing you
to connect the antenna signal to the TV.
AS-Video cable provides better picture
performance than regular (composite)
video connections.
S-Video cables can be used only with S-
Video-compatible accessory devices. You
must also connect the left and right audio
cables to the AV 2 Audio in jacks because
the S-Video jack carries only the picture
signal, not the sound.
Video and audio cables with standard
RCA (phono) connectors connect the
video and audio jacks of accessory
devices such as VCRs and DVD players
to the jacks on the TV.
These connectors are usually color coded.
The jacks on your TV are also color
coded to match the colors of the connec-
tors. Yellow for video (composite) and
Red and White for the right and left audio
channels. The video cables used to con-
nect component video or RGB (high-reso-
lution) jacks are color coded red, green,
and blue.
ADVI (Digital Video) cable that will
support digital connection from a PC.
Only Single Digital Link DVI is support-
ed for PCs with 480p or 1080i output.
