ue to many reasons, such as poor
Dcable reception, the picture can
sometimes appear slightly “speckled”
(an indication of signal noise in the
picture). The DNR (Dynamic Noise

this type of interference and improve
the quality of the picture.

logue and conversations while the
TV program is in progress.
NOTE: Not all TV programs and product commercials are broadcast with Closed
Captioning (CC). Nor are all Closed Captioning MODEs (CAPTION 1–4 or TEXT
1–4) necessarily being used by broadcast stations during the transmission of a pro-
gram offering Closed Captioning. Refer to your area’s TV program listings for the
stations and times of shows being broadcast with Closed Captioning.

of time you choose (15-minute
increments up to 60 minutes, then
30-minute increments up to 90 min-

UNDERSTANDING AUTOLOCK™
he AutoLock™ feature receives
Tand processes data sent by
broadcasters or other program
providers that contain program con-
tent advisories. When programmed
by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™
can respond to the content advisories
and block program content that may
be found objectionable (such as
offensive language, violence, sexual
situations, etc.). This is a great fea-
ture to censor the type of program-
ming children may watch.

PIP – BASIC CONNECTIONS
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
picture, or PIP). For your ease and
convenience, this TV has two sepa-
rate inputs (ANTenna A and PIP
MAIN SCREEN PICTURE
PIP PICTURE
ANTenna B) for your home’s Antenna
and/or Cable TV system signal.
The ANT A input is primarily for the
TV’ s main screen picture. The PIP
ANT B input is provided as a second
dedicated source option for the TV’s
PIP “window” and its feature opera-
tions. The signal connected to the
PIP ANT B input can be either a split
signal input (as described in the sec-
tion on this page) or another type of
external signal source (such as a
satellite dish system, additional home
antenna, video accessory, etc.).

TROUBLESHOOTING
lease make these simple checks
Pbefore calling for service.
Because charges for TV installa-
tion and adjustment of customer
controls are not covered under
your warranty, these tips can save
you time and money.
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [CDI], or
TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can
cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the
pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent
image on the picture tube. When you’re not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also,
regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
No Power
No Picture
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into
the outlet and push the POWER button again.
• Check that the outlet is not on a wall switch.
• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used.
• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT A/B 75Ω plug?
• Check the TUNER MODE control for the correct tuner setting.
• Try running the Auto Program feature to find all available channels.
• Press the SOURCE button on the remote to make sure the correct signal source is
selected (AV1 [or CVI], AV2, AV3, or S-VIDEO).
No Sound
• Check the VOLUME buttons.
• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.
• Check the SPEAKER onscreen control. If it is in the OFF position, sound at the set will
be eliminated.
• If you’re attempting to hook up auxiliary equipment, check the audio jack connections.
• (If applicable) Check the audio receiver for the correct operating mode.
• Check the batteries. If necessary, replace them with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or
Alkaline batteries.
• Clean the remote control and the remote control sensor window on the TV.
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the plug into
the outlet and push the POWER button again.
Remote Does Not
Work
• Be sure the fuse is not blown on the AC power strip, if one is being used.
• Check to be sure the TV outlet is not on a wall switch.
TV Displays Wrong
Channel or No
Channels Above 13
• Repeat channel selection.
• Add the desired channel numbers (using the CHANNEL EDIT control) into the TV’s
memory.
• Check to be sure the TUNER MODES are set to the CABLE option and run the Auto
Program feature to find all available channels.
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 clean
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.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they
might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.

GLOSSARY OF TELEVISION TERMS
Alternate Channel • The feature that allows you to toggle
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) • The broadcast stan-
between the last two channels viewed by pressing the A/CH but- dard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV
ton on the remote control.
picture.
Auto Programming • The feature that, when activated, scans
for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals
and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.
Onscreen Displays (OSD) • The wording or messages generated
by the television (or VCR) to help you with specific feature con-
trols (color adjustment or programming, for example).
Channel Edit • The feature that allows you to add or delete
channels from the list of channels 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
(+) or (–) buttons on your remote control.
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).
Programming • The process of adding or deleting channel num-
bers into the television’s memory circuits. Through program-
ming, the TV “remembers” only the locally available or desired
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
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 onscreen “text boxes” to show dialogue and
conversations while a TV program is in progress.
Remote Control Sensor Window • The window or opening
found on the television control panel and 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.
Second Audio Program (SAP) • An additional audio channel
provided for within the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS)
broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP
is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV material.
Direct Audio/Video Inputs • Connectors, located on the rear of
the TV, used for the input of audio and video signals. These
inputs are designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in
order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound-con-
nection options.
Status/Exit Button • The remote-control function that allows
you to quickly confirm what channel number is being viewed.
Status/Exit also can be used to clear the television of onscreen
displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to
“time out,” or automatically disappear from the screen).
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 “identified,” the
TV remote control can operate and send commands to the other
product.
Twin–lead 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.
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 onscreen listing of feature controls that are available
for you to adjust.
