Chapter 1: 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 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 TV.  
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.  
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 straight down the middle of the TV.  
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 TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate  
size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off.  
This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet  
packed with your TV.  
Use Indirect Light  
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or  
indirect lighting.  
Things to Consider Before You Connect  
You will need a master remote or ClonePRO™ to set up the TV. Go to the accessory page at the  
back of this manual or contact your RCA commercial distributor to purchase these.

Explanation of Jacks and Cables  
This manual covers TV models that have different back panels. Match the back panel of your TV to one of the back panels  
shown. This section describes the jacks you can use to make connections. There are several ways to connect components to  
your TV.  
VIDEO 1  
VIDEO, AUDIO R and L/MONO INPUTS Used to connect components such as a  
VCR, DVD player, camcorder, laserdisc player or video game consoles with audio/video  
outputs. These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components.  
Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left  
(white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the right audio part of the  
cable.  
Audio/Video Jacks  
R (RIGHT) AUDIO Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is  
usually red.  
L/MONO AUDIO Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is  
usually white.  
VIDEO Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually  
yellow.  
S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the video jacks because the color part  
of the signal is separated from the black and white part of the picture. When using  
S-VIDEO IN, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the L/MONO and R  
AUDIO Input jacks (an S-Video cable is required).  
TV ANT Used to attach either an antenna or cable system to the TV. To connect a  
VCR, connect a coaxial cable to the TV ANT jack on your TV and to the Output Jack  
on the VCR (sometimes labeled OUT TO TV).

Connections & Setup  
VIDEO 2 (Model J32F635 only)  
VIDEO, AUDIO R and L/MONO and Y, Pb, Pr INPUTS Let you connect a second  
component video source, such as a DVD player.  
Y, Pb, Pr Provide optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three  
signals. Use three video-grade cables for the connection. When using Y, Pb, Pr, make  
sure to connect left and right audio cables to the VIDEO 2 AUDIO Input jacks.  
R and L/MONO AUDIO and VIDEO Their description is the same as VIDEO 1.  
MONITOR OUT  
AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUTS Allow connection of external audio amplifiers, power  
speakers, audio receivers for improved sound quality or an external video monitor with  
the use of VIDEO OUT. Please note that these outputs cannot drive standard speakers  
directly.  
DSCI PORT This port is used to transfer information between a TV and other devices,  
such as a clone box or interactive system. This port is an eight-pin telephone-type port.  
When the TV receives a message via the DSCI (digital serial communications interface)  
port, it will act in accordance with the digital instructions received. For more information  
on its connection and operation, please contact your distributor or the supplier of the  
interactive system.  
EXTERNAL SPEAKERS These jacks are used to connect your TV to a mono speaker. If  
you want to deliver TV audio into another room, connect the external speaker directly to  
the TV using class 2 speaker wire.  
Note: Speakers should have a minimum of 16 ohms impedance.

Connections & Setup  
The Front of Your TV  
Front Input Jacks  
The TV has front input jacks for your convenience: one set of audio/video  
inputs, an s-video and a headphone jack. These jacks are towards the  
front of the TV on the side. To access the component you connected to  
the front of the TV, press the INPUT button on your remote until FRNT  
appears on the screen. The jacks are ideal for connecting a video game  
console or a camcorder.  
Note: When connecting a component that only has one audio jack,  
such as some camcorders, use the TV’s AUDIO L/MONO jack to hear  
the audio.

Parental Controls and V-Chip  
The choices in the USA V-CHIP menu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV  
programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view.  
Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.  
By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.”  
How V-Chip Works  
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L),  
etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, "This  
channel has not been approved for viewing".Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the  
Parental Control.  
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be  
blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated,  
and programs that are considered unrated. The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block follow:

Using the TV’s Features  
USA V-Chip Rating System  
TV-MA (Mature Audience Only) Specifically designed to be viewed by adults and may be unsuitable for children under 17. It  
contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic  
violence (V).  
TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) Contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14.  
Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children  
under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely  
suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).  
TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many parents  
may want to watch it with their younger children. The program contains one or more of the following content themes:  
some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or moderate violence (V).  
TV-G (General Audience) Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains little or no sexual dialogue  
(D) or situations (S), no strong language (L), and little or no violence (V).  
TV-Y7 (Directed to Children 7 years and older) Designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for  
children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and  
elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the  
age of 7.  
TV-Y (All Children) Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including children from ages  
2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.  
Canadian English V-Chip Rating System  
18+ (Adults) Programming intended for adults 18 and older. It may contain elements of violence, language, and sexual  
content which could make it unsuitable for viewers under 18. Violence Guidelines: May contain violence integral to the  
development of the plot, character or theme, intended for adult audiences. Other Content Guidelines: May contain graphic  
language and explicit portrayals of nudity and/or sex.  
14+ (Viewers 14 and over) Programming contains themes or content which may not be suitable for viewers under the age  
of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting viewing by pre-teens and early teens. Violence  
Guidelines: May contain intense scenes of violence. Could deal with mature themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion.  
Other Content Guidelines: May contain scenes of nudity and/or sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profanity.  
PG (Parental Guidance) Programming intended for a general audience but which may not be suitable for younger children  
(under the age of 8). Parents may consider some content inappropriate for unsupervised viewing by children aged 8-13.  
Violence Guidelines: Depictions of conflict and/or aggression will be limited and moderate; may include physical, fantasy,  
or supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines: May contain infrequent mild profanity, or mildly suggestive language.  
Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.  
G (General Audience) Programming considered acceptable for all ages groups. While not designed specifically for children,  
it is understood younger viewers may be part of the audience. Violence Guidelines: Will contain very little violence, either  
physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic  
scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the effects of violent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some  
inoffensive slang, no profanity and no nudity.  
C8+ (Children 8 and Older) Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over to watch on their  
own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict or  
encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will be  
infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will be  
no profanity, nudity or sexual content.

C (Children) Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines: Careful attention is paid to themes  
which could threaten children’s sense of security and well being. There will be no realistic scenes of violence. Depictions of  
aggressive behavior will be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary, comedic or unrealistic in nature.  
Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language, nudity or sexual content.  
Canadian French V-Chip Rating System  
18+ (Adults) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent scenes.  
16+ (Viewers 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent scenes of  
violence or intensely violent scenes.  
13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This program either contains  
several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult is  
therefore strongly recommended for children under the age of 13.  
8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most audiences, but it contains  
mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore recommended  
for young children (under the age of 8) who do not distinguish between reality and imagination.  
G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or any violence that it does  
contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an unrealistic way.

Using the ClonePRO™  
Modes of operation  
The ClonePRO operates from one of two modes:  
DSCI Connect a DSCI cable to the ClonePRO and to the TV’s DSCI port  
on the back panel.  
IR (Infrared) This operation is wireless. Press ON to begin using the  
remote in IR mode.  
The corresponding “ready” light indicates the mode of operation, and the  
corresponding “busy” light indicates activity in this mode.  
Buttons with black labels function similarly in both modes, while green labels  
operate DSCI mode and red labels operate IR mode.  
DSCI mode  
The ClonePRO enters this mode when it is connected to the TV’s Digital Serial  
Communications Interface port via a cable (included).  
• Any standard (no-flip, 1-to-1) 8-conductor computer-networking cable  
may be used.  
• No battery is required in this mode.  
• If the unit is already in IR mode, press OFF to speed the transition to  
DSCI mode.  
DSCI (green) buttons  
Comm Restores the TV to normal commercial operation, essentially undoing the effect of the Legacy and Decom buttons.  
Decom “Decommercializes” the TV to facilitate aftermarket resale.  
[Factory] Press and hold the RESET button for several seconds to re-initialize the TV, reverting all settings to factory defaults.  
Note: Pressing FACTORY overwrites any settings already in the TV.  
LEARN Begins the process of learning the settings from a TV that has been setup as desired.  
Note: Pressing LEARN overwrites any settings already in the ClonePRO.  
Legacy Places the TV in a mode in which it emulates the behavior of older models. This is a required part of the  
configuration for some applications.  
POWER Turns on the TV. It is recommended, though not required, when in DSCI mode to view on-screen displays.  
[Status]: Press and hold the INFO button for several seconds to display settings stored in the ClonePRO and the TV. For example:  
Mem: CB:36 TV:36  
This tells you the ClonePRO and the TV have 36 pages of information stored in memory.

Other Information  
Across the screen are red dashes. Press any button on the remote control you are using. Red pulses should appear, telling  
you the TV is recognizing the remote and is able to send out that information. If red pulses don’t appear, contact your RCA  
distributor.  
TEACH: This begins the process of teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV to which it is connected.  
Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.  
After successful teaching, the TV will turn off and reboot.  
If the memory-image stored in the clone-box is not valid for the TV, an on-screen message will advise of the conflicting  
memory-sizes.  
IR mode  
The ClonePRO enters the IR mode when any button on the bottom row of the keypad is pressed (without connection to a  
TV DSCI port). A standard 9V battery (accessed via a small rear panel) is required to enable this mode.  
Notes: Like any IR (infrared) remote control, the ClonePRO requires a reasonable line of sight between it and the TV  
for proper signaling. Obstructions, long distances, sharp angles and certain specialty lighting can reduce the effective  
range.  
If the “IR ready” light stays on longer than 1 minute by itself, temporarily remove the battery to reset it.  
Remove the battery prior to long-term storage.  
IR (red) Buttons  
Note: You must press the ON button for the IR buttons to operate.  
Master+ & Master- The Master- button disables access to the TV’s master menus via the master remote. (Some third-party  
devices, attached to the TV’s DSCI port as part of a larger system, may disable access to master menus even after they are  
disconnected.) To enable the master menus, press Master+.  
OFF Turns the TV off, and turns the ClonePRO off.  
ON Turns the TV on, and turns on the ClonePRO IR mode, ready for subsequent buttons. Note that the unit will  
automatically turn itself off 30 seconds after the last button has been pressed to extend battery-life.  
TEACH Begins teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV, effectively “Cloning” the initially configured TV.  
May be made more reliable for older models by first filling the memory of the example TV with channel-labels on unused  
channels.  
After an IRTEACH, older-model TVs do not need to reboot.  
Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.  
A TV must be turned on before being taught in IR mode.  
After successful teaching, the TV turns off and turns on with the new settings.  
If the TV displays the message Cloning Timeout or Cloning Aborted, press TEACH again to retry, experimenting with  
the ClonePRO at different distances and angles from the TV.  
If no valid settings have been stored via a DSCI LEARN, the IR ready light will come on but nothing will appear on  
the TV screen.  
Note: The ClonePRO cannot be used to cross clone (to copy the memory of older models into newer models, or vice  
versa), because the two have completely different memory-maps, memory-sizes, features and settings.  
[Config]: Pressing and holding this button in IR mode toggles the “decommercialization” and aftermarket resale of older-  
model televisions. Note that this is not reversible after turning-off older-model TVs.

Cloning a TV  
Use the ClonePRO or a master remote to complete any necessary setup steps to the TV, such  
as Auto Channel Search, changing Access & Power options, etc. Go to Chapter 1 for more  
information on setting up the TV. When you have finished setting up the TV, you can use it as  
your example TV.  
1. Connect the ClonePRO to the example TV’s DSCI port.  
2. It is recommended, though not required, to turn on the TV. Press the POWER button.  
3. Press the LEARN button to begin the cloning process. When it is complete, Cloning  
Complete is displayed on-screen.  
4. Take the ClonePRO to each subsequent TV and then (in either DSCI or IR mode) TEACH  
each TV, monitoring the process on-screen.  
The settings learned by the ClonePRO remain indefinitely, ready to TEACH the next TV until  
overwritten by a new LEARN operation.  
General troubleshooting  
Problems with the DSCI mode  
• Make sure the TV is plugged into a live electrical outlet.  
• Make sure the ClonePRO is plugged into the TV’s DSCI port.  
• The connecting cable should have at least 6 wires, mapping 1-to-1 (not flipped).  
ClonePro remote isn't working  
• Check the battery. Place a new 9V battery in the unit if the battery is old.  
• Make sure the ClonePRO is pointed at the TV with a clear line of sight.  
• If you are trying to TEACH, make sure there is a valid memory stored in the ClonePRO  
(Check by going into DSCI-mode [Status].)

Care and Cleaning  
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.  
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help  
assure adequate ventilation.  
The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary,  
you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or  
abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.  
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks  
or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.  
Caution: Using video games or any external accessory with fixed images for extended periods of time can cause them to be permanently  
imprinted on the picture tube (or projection TV picture tubes). ALSO, some network/program logos, phone numbers, etc. may cause  
similar damage. This damage is not covered by your warranty.
