HOW TO USE THE PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP) FEATURE

icture-in-Picture (PIP) is the

Pshowing of two pictures on the

TV screen at the same time. (One

main screen picture and one small

inset picture - or PIP). For your

ease and convenience this TV has

two separate inputs (ANTenna A

and ANTenna B) for your home’s

Antenna and/or Cable TV system

signal.

- PIP WINDOW -

Display signal supplied

primarily through ANT

B Input on rear of TV.

- MAIN SCREEN -

Display signal supplied

primarily through

ANT A Input on rear

of TV.

The ANT A input is primarily for

the TV’s main screen picture.

The ANT B input is provided as a

second, dedicated source option

for the TV’s PIP “window” and

its feature operations. The signal

connected to the ANT B input can

be either a Split Signal Input (as

described in the section on this

page), or another type of external

signal source (such as a satellite

dish system, additional home

antenna, video accessory, etc.).

TIPS IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or

TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,

can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source

the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image

permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly

alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

Cleaning and Care

• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using

anything abrasive- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use

even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get

into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about an optional Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or

call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water and a mild soap

or detergent. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring

of the cabinet finish.

GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS

Aspect Ratio * The proportions of a rectangular display screen.

NTSC television has a 4:3 ratio; HDTV is 16:9.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel

numbers into the TV’s memory circuits. In this way the TV

“remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel

numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these

connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio

and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other

accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer

sound connection options.

Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the TV

control panel through which infrared remote control command

signals are received.

Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched

with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes)

directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

RGB * Red, Green, Blue color component inputs used for

connection purposes with personal computers (PCs) and other high

definition video devices.

Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user

operate and adjust TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays

(OSD).

RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the

carrier for television broadcasts.

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio

channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS)

broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the

recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language

translation for the displayed programming.)

HDTV * High Definition Television which offers approximately

twice the vertical/horizontal resolution of NTSC video, and sound

quality approaching that of compact disc. (Usually taken to mean a

picture of 1920 x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.)

Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an

operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable

Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV

remote can operate and send commands to the other product.

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number

is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV

of on-screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the

displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator.

SVGA * Super Video Graphics Array

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the TV

screen that are made available for user adjustments.

S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video

sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc

player, etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and

clarity.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard

that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two

strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor

antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires

an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm

Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and

VCRs.

NTSC * National Television Standards Committee format devised

for TV broadcasting signals in the 1940s (525 lines; 30Hz.)

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages

generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls

(color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which

allows for volume variations at the source.

Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are

shown on the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP picture

is supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback source). The

PIP picture can also be moved and swapped with the TV's main

screen picture.

VGA * Video Graphics Array
