FEATURES  
Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs, DVDs, or  
other accessory devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback.  
Digital-Ready Projection TV  
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.  
This Projection Television is capable of connecting  
to both the current analog television signals of today  
as well as interfacing with new, upcoming digital  
source playback products and devices. This TV  
includes multiple signal connectors (Component  
Video, S-Video, and Composite Video), which give  
you a variety of equipment playback options for dig-  
ital set-top boxes, satellite receivers, cable boxes,  
and other digital devices.  
AutoChron automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with dig-  
ital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings  
Time adjustments.  
AutoLock allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or programs  
with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inappropriate  
materials.  
Auto Program scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable  
signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.  
While there may exist some digital devices with  
connections not available on this television, you  
should be adequately prepared for the vast majority  
of products coming onto the digital consumer elec-  
tronics’ market. NOTE: You should always use the  
connection output on digital devices that gives the  
highest level of picture quality possible. As listed  
above, the Component Video (or Y PB PR) input  
delivers the best color and picture reproduction, fol-  
lowed by S-Video, and then Composite Video. In  
addition to these inputs, your television also

al control that you set according to your own preferences through the on-  
screen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and  
Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular program-  
ming you are watching.  
Bass Boost increases the low-frequency range of the TV’s sound.  
Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the  
TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of  
channels that are available to you when you press the Channel Scan (+,–) but-  
tons on your remote control.  
includes the standard 75-ohm cable signal connector  
for use with antennas or analog cable boxes.

conversations as on-screen text.  
Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) can help eliminate broadcast signal noise  
(“speckles” in the picture).  
Items Included with This TV  
ImageMax helps you sharpen the picture quality by making dark portions of

minutes to do so.  
• Don’t let the accessory device scan  
up more than five channels when

PIP “window” and its feature opera-  
tions. The signal connected to the PIP  
ANT “B” input can be either a split sig-  
nal input (as described and illustrated  
on this page) or a separate external sig-  
nal source (such as an additional home  
antenna, satellite dish system, or video  
accessory device).

SMART HELP  
NOTE: The purpose of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input (referred to as “TUNER-B” on  
your TV screen) is to provide an easily connected, dedicated signal source for use with  
PIP. A split signal (as illustrated on this page) is not the only option in connecting to the  
PIP ANT(enna) “B” input. An additional outdoor or indoor antenna or a video game  
player, for example, could also be connected and displayed on the TV’s PIP screen win-  
dow through the use of the PIP ANT(enna) “B” input.  
If you need accessories to  
complete the described PIP  
connections, see your dealer or call  
our Parts Information Center at  
1-800-851-8885.  
See pages 1, 2, 7, and 8 in the Setup  
and Quick Use Guide that came  
with your set and pages 53 and 54 in  
this manual for more information on  
connections.

General Information • Helpful Hints  
HELPFUL HINTS  
If you are having difficulties with your product, check this list of difficulties and possible solutions before requesting service. You  
may be able to solve the problem yourself. Charges for TV installation and adjustment of customer controls are not covered under  
your warranty. If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of your prod-  
uct before you call. This information is displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take a moment to identify the problem you

CAUTION  
The continual presence of nonmoving images on your TV screen can damage the picture tube.  
A video source such as a video game, CDI, or TV information channel that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen  
can damage the picture tube. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the nonmoving portion of the on-screen image  
can become permanently fixed on the picture tube. When you are not using the video source, turn it off. Also, 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 you are cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything  
abrasive. Wipe the front screen with a cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.  
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water. Use a clean, dry cloth  
to dry the wiped surfaces.

General Information • Glossary  
GLOSSARY OF TELEVISION TERMS  
Audio/Video Inputs ¥ Connectors (RCA phono-type plug),  
located on the back of the TV, used for the input of audio and  
video signals. These inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or  
other accessories) to receive higher picture resolution and offer  
sound-connection options.  
Programming ¥ The process of adding or deleting channel num-  
bers in the televisionÕs memory circuits. Through programming,  
the TV ÒremembersÓ only the locally available or desired chan-  
nel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.  
PTV ¥ Projection Television. (Rear- and/or front-projection  
Closed Captioning ¥ The broadcast standard feature that allows  
you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV  
screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, Closed  
Captioning uses on-screen text boxes to show dialogue and con-  
versations while a TV program is in progress.  
design systems are available.)  
Remote Control Sensor Window ¥ The window or opening  
found on the television control panel through which infrared  
remote control command signals are received.  
RF ¥ Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the  
carrier for television broadcasts.  
Component Video Input ¥ The input that allows the separate  
reception of blue, red, and luminance signals. Provides the high-  
est possible color and picture resolution in the playback of digi-  
tal signal source material, such as the kind available from DVD  
players. Allows improved bandwidth information not possible  
through composite video (A/V) or S-Video Connections.  
RF coaxial cable ¥ Used to connected a broadcast or cable sig-  
nal to the TV. Also can be used to connect a VCR to the TV (or  
cable box or DBS).  
Second Audio Program (SAP) ¥ An additional audio channel  
provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broad-  
cast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the record-  
ed or video signal (usually containing a second language transla-  
tion for the displayed programming).  
Identify ¥ The method by which a TV remote control searches  
and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR  
or a cable converter). After the code has been Òidentified,Ó the  
TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other  
product.  
Status ¥ Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel num-  
ber 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 Òtime out,Ó or automatically disappear from  
the screen).  
Incredible Stereo (or Surround) ¥ False acoustic management  
of the audio signal that produces a dramatic expansion of the  
wall of sound that surrounds the listener and heightens overall  
viewing pleasure.  
Menu ¥ An on-screen list of feature controls that are available  
for you to adjust.  
S-Video Input ¥ Signal input that allows direct connection of  
high-resolution video sources, such as satellite, DVD (digital  
video disc), S (Super)-VHS videocassette recorder, or video  
games. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and  
clarity.  
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) ¥ The broadcast stan-  
dard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV  
picture.  
TwinÐlead Wire ¥ The more commonly used name for the two-  
strand, 300-ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and out-  
door 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 TVs  
and VCRs.  
On-screen Displays (OSD) ¥ The wording or messages generat-  
ed by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature  
controls (color adjustment or programming, for example).  
Picture-in-Picture ¥ The showing of two pictures on the TV  
screen at the same time (one main screen picture and one small  
picture, or PIP).
