    FEATURES

    Your new projection television and its packaging contain materialsthat can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycleyour product to increase the amount of reusable materials andminimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed. Thebatteries used by your product should not be thrown away whendepleted but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemicalwaste. Please find out about the local regulations concerning how todispose of your old television, batteries, and packaging materialswhenever it is time to replace them.

    End-of-life Disposal

    Alternate Channel (A/CH) button allows you to switch back and

    forth between the currently viewed channel and the previously

    viewed channel.

    Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) Because both

    analog sources (cable TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and

    progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9,

    etc.) the picture on a digital television may have black bars on the

    sides or top and bottom. Once black bars are detected in either the4:3 or 16:9 viewing mode, APAC automatically shifts the television

    picture, pixel-by-pixel, just enough to blur image retention.

    Because APAC works in both the analog and digital modes, you

    have excellent protection.

    Audio/video jacks allow direct connections with VCRs and other

    accessories for quality TV picture and sound playback. Component

    video input jacks are provided for high-fidelity color and picture

    resolution when using digital video source material, such as a DVD.

    Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) control keeps the TVs 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.

    AutoChron automatically sets the right time of day and maintains

    it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even

    Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

    AutoLock protects young children from objectionable programming

    with V-chip technology.

    Auto Picture allows you to push a button and adapt your TVs

    picture to various types of programs, such as sports, movies, and

    multimedia (games).

    Auto Sound allows you to select from three factory-set controls and

    a personal control that you set according to your own preferences

    through the onscreen Sound submenu. The three factory-setcontrolsVoice, Music, and Theatreenable you to tailor the TV

    sound to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

    Channel Edit allows you to add or remove channels from the list of

    channels stored in the TVs memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to

    limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you

    when you press the CH +/ buttons on your remote control.

    Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or voice

    conversations as onscreen text.

    Auto Contrast helps you sharpen the picture quality by making the

    contrast between the dark and bright picture areas more noticeable

    as the image on screen changes.

    High-definition component video inputs allow you to connect

    High-definition signals to the TV (HD INPUT-AV 4 only). The

    result is superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color

    noise. Your set provides separate HD inputs for YPbPr/RGB, as well

    as horizontal and vertical sync.

    Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin

    speaker system. The system enables you to hear stereo sound or

    Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are

    available.

    Incredible Surround enhances stereo programs by making the

    sound broader and fuller.

    Onscreen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or set

    those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or

    Spanish).

    Standard broadcast (VHF/UHF) or cable TV (CATV) channel

    capability, as well as advanced capability for high-definition video.

    Three-line comb filter provides improved chroma/luminance

    separation to the picture. Offering vertical-edge enhancement and

    virtually no dot crawl, this filter easily supports the demands of

    DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.

    WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on

    the TV Screen:

    Do not leave picture border bars or stationary

    images on screen for extended periods of time.

    This can cause uneven picture-tube aging.Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures thatcontain constantly moving and changing images that fill thescreen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen forextended periods of time, or to display the same images on screentoo frequently, because subtle ghost images can be left on thepicture tubes. Avoid showing pictures with border bars or thesame stationary images more than 15 percent of your totalviewing in any one week. Sources of stationary images may bebroadcast channels, cable channels, satellite channels, digitaltelevision boxes, DVD discs, laser discs, video games, CD-idiscs, videotapes, and others. Here are some examples ofstationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may

    encounter others in your viewing): Border barssolid bars shown when viewing a standard (4:3)

    picture and some widescreen movies on your widescreen(16:9) TV

    DVD menuslistings of DVD disc content

    Video-game images and scoreboards

    Television station logospresent a problem if they are brightand stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics are less likelyto cause uneven aging of the picture tube
