FEATURES

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, comfortable sound.

AutoChronª automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

AutoLockª allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or pro- grams with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inap- propriate materials.

Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast sta- tions in the TVÕs memory.

AutoPictureª allows you to change the picture settings (color, tint, con- trast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as sports, movies, multi- media (games), or weak signals with the push of one button.

AutoSoundª 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 menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the partic- ular programming you are watching.

Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the TVÕs memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the num- ber of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or

(Ð) buttons on your remote control.
