Introduction
Key Features Overview
Your "IV is equipped wifl_ features that will add to your TV viewing experience. "II_e following information summarizes a
few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the rest of the TV's features and how to use them.
Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System
"II_e Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System incorporates two of RCA's most advanced technologies: "lYuScan Digital Reality and
the AVRPicture Projection Syste_:r_.The result is the ultimate in true-to-life picture performance that provides the optimum
picture resolution from each digital source connected to your TV (teiTestrial, DVD, satellite, and/or cable).
TruScan Digital Reality
Picture performance starts with signal processing. TruScan Digital Reality intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming
video signals and progressively converts lhem to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It enhances the picture
quality and makes you l)el as if you're close to the real thing. It also recognizes when original fihn sources have been
modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail - a process
commonly relk.rred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.
AVR Picture Projection System
The Accurale Visual Reality high definition picture projection sys_m o_rs a brighter picture then conventional CRTs
(cathode ray tubes). These tubes creates brilliant, lifelike fideli W. The AVR 4 lens system is designed to complement the
CRTs providing accurate colors and razor sharp focus everywhere on the screen.
DVI-HDTV Input
Lets you connect a component with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. DVI provides an uncompressed, digital video
interlace developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by
some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV connection is designed to
display eilher progressive scan (480p) or HD'lW (1080i) signals at a bandwidlh of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.
PIP (Picture-In-Picture) and POP (Picture-Outside-Picture)
Description: PIP lets you watch two channels at one time - one channel on the main screen and the other in a smaller
} }
window, t O1 also lets you watch two channels at one time - one channel on the left side of the screen (the main picture)
and the other on the right.
Requirements: Press the PIP button to bring up the PIP window. Press again to bring up POP. Chapter 3 has detailed
instructions on how to use the t I1 and PO1 features.
Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMPI or CMP2).
V-Chip: Parental Controls (for the U.S. and Canada)
Description: You can block programs and movies by content, age-based ratings, and/or movie ratings.
Requirements:
• Set up fl_e t arerztal Control menu in rite TV's main menu (Chapter 3 has details).
• The broadcasters must use the rating system when they send the program to your "IV in order for your TV to block the
program.
• Parenual controls must be locked for these settings to take affect.

Connections Setup
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,
• Turn off the "IV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions on page 1.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don't block w.'ntilation holes on any of the components. An'ange 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.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV
instead of slraight down the middle of the TV.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep lhe twin
lead cables away from attdio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location t_r your "IV carefully. Place the "IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size
and strength to prevent the "IV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This
could cause personal iniury and/or damage the "IV. Reli:r to the hnportant Safety lnslructions on
page 1.
Use Indirect Light
Don't place the "IV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.
