LANGUAGE (English / Espanol / Francais)
When you first enter the TV SETUP menu, LANGUAGE is highlighted. You can scroll to
the LANGUAGE item. Select the desired language with cursor right / cursor left.
CHANNEL INSTALL(>)
The CHANNEL INSTALL menu allows the user to configure the channels that can be
accessed. When installing the channels, different inputs can be mapped to TV channels to
allow seamless integration into the channel map.
Installing channels
•AUTO INSTALL TV:
When AUTO INSTALL TV is selected (cursor right), the TV performs an automatic
search for the presence of viable RF signals at its tuner input. An AUTO-
PROGRAMMING ACTIVE message and a table of channel numbers will appear.
When a viable signal is detected on a given channel, that channel is highlighted in red
and is added to the channel ring. Any command from a remote control terminates the
AUTO PROGRAM session. Front-panel commands do not cancel auto-programming.

CABLE TUNING: If CABLE TUNING is set to NO, channels 2 through 69 are available.
If CABLE TUNING is set to YES, channels 2 through 125 will be available.
BRIGHTNESS / COLOR / CONTRAST / SHARPNESS / TINT
( 0 - 63, TINT -31 - 31)
Adjust the respective picture setting, using left and right cursor.
5

NOISE REDUCTION (NO / YES)
Disable or enable the video noise reduction feature, in which video noise is reduced, with
minimum reduction in picture sharpness.
SOUND MODE (MONO / STEREO)
Select either STEREO or MONO (monaural) sound modes. Note: STEREO has no effect if
the current audio signal is monaural. When SOUND MODE is changed, an on-screen
display will appear, indicating the actual audio status (MONO or STEREO)
SAP (OFF / ON)
Disable or enable the Second Audio Program channel feature. SAP is not in wide use, and
most channels do not transmit a SAP signal. Uses of the SAP channel include:
- Spanish translation or other language translation
- Descriptive information about the program
- Duplication of main audio (mono)
- Audio unrelated to the program.
Note: When SAP is ON, but SAP is not present on the current channel / input, the primary
audio will be audible.
AVL (OFF / ON)
Disable or enable the Automatic Volume Leveling feature, which minimizes variations in
audio playback level.
BALANCE / TREBLE / BASS ( 0 - 63, BALANCE -31 - 31)
Adjust the respective audio playback setting.
6

INCREDIBLE STEREO (NO / YES)
When INCREDIBLE STEREO is set to YES, and the current SOUND MODE is MONO, a
signal processing technique is applied for the purpose of simulating a “stereo-like” effect.
Note: When INCREDIBLE STEREO is set to YES, and the current SOUND MODE is
STEREO (regardless of whether there is a stereo signal on the current channel) the
resultant effect will be imperceptible, minimal or possibly degraded, depending upon
various factors.
ULTRA BASS (NO / YES)
When ULTRA BASS is set to YES, the audio frequency equalization is modified such that
the bass frequencies are significantly emphasized.
VOLUME BAR (NO / YES)
When VOLUME BAR is set to YES, an OSD graphic appears that provides visual
verification ( e.g. “||||||----- 15”) during volume adjustment, by means of either the remote
control, or the front panel.
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT MUTE (NO / YES)
When set to YES, turns off the audio and video MONITOR OUT signals (either
demodulated RF input or loop-through video).
REMINDER (NO / YES)
When REMINDER = YES, the reminder feature provides a constant on-screen indication
of the current channel or input, (e.g., TV 2, CVI, etc.), that channel’s or input’s label (if a
label has been assigned in CHANNEL INSTALL), and the current MUTE status (i.e., if
sound MUTE is active). The REMINDER on-screen indication appears near the top of TV
screen viewing area. When REMINDER = NO, the reminder information appears only
when the channel or input is changed, then disappears after approximately ten seconds.

CC (OFF / CC-1 / CC-2 / CC ON MUTE)
Closed Captioning. Since July 1, 1993, television sets with 13" screens or larger must have
built-in caption decoders. Captioning of most broadcast and cablecast programming is
mandated under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, except for certain types of programs
exempted by the FCC. For additional information, please visit the U.S. FCC web site at
(http://ftp.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/closedcaption.html). OFF: Regardless of whether
there is a closed captioning signal present on the current source, closed captioning will not
appear.
CC-1: CC-1-mode closed captioning will be displayed if it is present on the incoming
signal.
CC-2: CC-2-mode closed captioning will be displayed if it is present on the incoming
signal.
CC ON MUTE: If the television is in audio mute mode, CC-1-mode closed captioning will
be displayed if it is present on the incoming signal.
Note: When the television is powered down and back on again, the closed captioning
setting will default to OFF.
SAVED V-CHIP (NO / YES)
This feature provides the option to specify whether the current V-CHIP SETUP
configuration remains in effect after television is powered down.
NO: The current V-CHIP setup configuration reverts to defaults when the television is
powered down.
YES: The current V-CHIP setup configuration remains in effect when the television is
powered down.
