Y our Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm)
cable or a converter box installation. In either case, the con- nection to the TV is very easy. Follow the steps below to connect
your cable signal to your new television. If your cable signal comes directly from a round 75 Π coaxial cable use the following steps: 1 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the 75 Π input on the TV. Screw it down finger tight. 2 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on.
Refer to the AUTOPROGRAM feature to program all the
available channels on your cable signal.
If your cable signal comes from a cable box, use the following
steps: 3 Connect the open end of the round Cable Company sup-
plied cable to the cable signal IN(put) plug on the back of
the Cable Box.
4 Using a separate round coaxial cable, connect one end to the
OUT(put) plug on the back of the Cable Box.
5 Connect the other end of the round coaxial cable to the
75 Π input on the back of the television. Screw it down finger tight. 6 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on.
Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on page
3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the

A combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-
nels (VHF 2—13 and UHF 14—69). Y our connection is easy because there is only one 75Π (ohm) antenna plug on
the back of your TV, and that s where the antenna goes.
1 If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,
then you’re ready to connect it to the TV.
If your antenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you
first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a
300- to 75-ohm adapter.
2 Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the
75 Π (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight. 3 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV
on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on
page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the
ANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program
all the available channels on your cable signal into the televi-
sion s memory.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Features
Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming
signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature moni-
tors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise reduction
control.
Audio/Video Jack Panel allows direct connections with VCRs,
DVDs, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound
playback.
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, com-
fortable sound.
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.
AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color,
tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as
sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the push
of one button.
AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set controls
and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer-
ences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set con-
trols (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound
so as to enhance the particular programming you are watching.
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 (+) or (—) buttons on your remote control.
Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue
or voice conversations as onscreen text.
Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-con-
trolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and
satellite receivers.
Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for set-
ting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or
Spanish).
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount of
time that you choose.
Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF once or
daily like an alarm clock.
