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 TV and/or component 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 IV.
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.
•When 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 IV, route all cables down the side of the back of the I1/instead of
straight down the middle of the back of the IV.
•If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away
from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your I1/carefully Place the IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength
to prevent the I1/from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury
and/or damage the IV. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your IV.
Use Indirect Light
Don't place the IV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen Usesoft or indirect
lighting.
Things Needed Before You Connect
You will need a Master remote or ClonePRO '_ to set up the IV Contact your RCA commercial distributor to
purchase one of these.

to adjust features on your TV. The following pages detail how to use these controls to customize the
functions of your R/.
The first menu is called the Main menu PressMENU on the remote (master remote for master menu; basic or

options. To make aHoptions unavailable, set the Basic Menu Access in the Access _Power Options menu. For
more information on other menu options not mentioned in this chapter, go to Chapter 3.
Audio Menu
The Audio levels, output and speakers, and sound logic aren't available in the basic menu.
Audio Levels Adjust the I1/'s Balance (Speaker IniExt on model J20542), Treble, Bass, Initial Volume, and
Maximum Volume.
In all models except the J20542, the Balance feature fades between left and right speakers. In the J20542,
Speaker In/Ext fades between internal and external speakers. Treble and Bass adjust the proportion of high
and low notes, respectively. Initial Volume sets the IV's volume to the specified level every time it is turned
on. The Maximum Volume feature re-scales the volume control slider so that the far right position is always
the maximum allowable volume (but not necessarily the maximum possible volume).
Audio Output _ Speakers (not available on model J20542} Lets you turn the IV's internal speakers on or
off and set the audio outputs to fixed-level or variable control level.
Variable Output, Speakers On Turns the IV's speakers on and sets the variable output from the TV's
audio output jacks, proportional to the volume setting.
Variable Output, Speakers Off Turns the ]V's speakers off and allows variable output from the TV's
audio output jacks.
Fixed Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV'sspeakers off and allows fixed output from the R/'s audio
output jacks to an external device such as a surround sound amplifier. When this feature is turned on,
the IV's volume control, tone controls, Expanded Stereo, and mute are disabled.
Volume Hold Turns the TV's speakers on and sets the audio outputs proportional to the current volume
setting. When this feature is turned on, mute and other volume controls are disabled.

These remote controls offer basic control of the television within the limits specified through the master remote (i.e. with the same limitations as the
CRKI7TC1). In addition, they can be programmed to control other components (such as VCRs].
ClonePro
The CIonePro has main operating buttons that function the same as a master remote.
Hospital-Type Remotes
These specialized remote controls are Uk-reeognized for use {n patient beds. Some offer simple, single-button operation of the TV; others have
enhanced capability for greater control. Specific models and requirements depend upon what other devices might also be in the room, such as nurse-
call systems. See your distributor for more information.
