Whenever a menu or display disappears from the screen,
the + and - buttons on the front of the TV become the

same function again, simply press the + or - button on the

Adjusting for a Color Picture that Pleases You
1. Decrease color to minimum. This will leave a black-and-
white image on the screen.
2. Adjust contrast until the picture pleases you.
3. Adjust brightness until the black parts of the picture appear
black. You may need to wait until the picture shows
something you’re sure is black to make this adjustment.
Be careful not to lose the details in darkly shaded areas.
4. Increase color until you reach a pleasing level of intensity.
5. Adjust tint until flesh tones or other color objects appear
natural.
6. Adjust sharpness for a pleasing level of picture sharpness.
(For weak signals, the picture may be more pleasing with
sharpness decreased.)
Custom Picture Memory for Input Channels
The input channels are the channel numbers you select to see
signals from components (like a VCR) that are connected to the
INPUT jacks on the back of the TV. Selecting channel 90 lets
you see the signal coming from whatever component is attached
to the S-VIDEO connector, channel 91 lets you see the signal
from the INPUT I jacks, and channel 92 lets you see the signal
from the INPUT 2 jacks. Your TV is equipped with a custom
picture memory for these input channels. When the TV is tuned
to one of these channels (90, 91, 92), you can change the picture
settings for that component’s signal as desired without changing
the settings of any other channel. This is very useful because
you’ll be able to adjust for the be.st picture from each of your
components and the TV will remember those settings
automatically the next time you tune that input channel.
