•Make sure there is a tape in the VCR and that the VCR is connected properly.

•Make sure VCR is tuned to the line input. Don’t change channels.

•Be sure that you set up the VCR in the GUIDE Plus+ Setup menus. If you don’t complete the Configuring for a VCR steps successfully, the Record option won’t be available. Go to page 28 for detailed instructions.

•If a cable box is attached to your TV, make sure you set it up correctly in the GUIDE Plus+ Setup menus. Go to page 27 for detailed instructions.

Doesn’t tune to correct antenna input

•Because of occasional irregular data, the guide may inadvertently tune to the incorrect antenna input in the video window or when using CLEAR to exit the guide.

The Remote Control Doesn’t Work

•Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path.

•Maybe the remote isn’t aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) that you’re trying to operate.

•Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so the remote controls the TV.

•Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. If batteries are weak, you will not be able to activate backlighting on the remote; instead, backlight will blink once when activated. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)

•When using the Learning feature, do the learning process in low light areas to prevent natural light and fluorescent light interfering with the infrared signals.

•For Volume Punchthrough, remember to program the AUDIO button on the TV’s remote control to operate your audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 34 for instructions. If you can’t program this remote to operate your audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won’t work.

•You must lock the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Controls (press 5 on your remote), select Lock TV (press 1 on your remote).

I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

•If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the television and VOL down on the remote for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a password via Lock TV.

The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.

•Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set V-Chip Unrated to View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.

Problems with 1394 Recording/Playback

•Make sure the 1394 components are not looped. See page 16.

•If the network speed seems slow, make sure the 1394 component that has the fastest speed is first at point of connection to TV. Check component manual’s for network speed. See page 16 for more information.

•Make sure the program is digital (ATSC) or no recording will take place.

•If a program is not recorded, it could be the 1394 component enforces copy protection standards.

•If you cannot find the program you recorded, channel through the subchannels.

HDLP61 specifications

The RCA HDLP61 is a high-definition rear-projection television that was introduced in the early 2000s, capturing the attention of consumers seeking a balance between performance and affordability in large screen televisions. With its sleek design and impressive specifications, the HDLP61 quickly became a popular choice for home entertainment.

One of the primary features of the RCA HDLP61 is its substantial 61-inch screen, which allows for an immersive viewing experience. The television utilizes DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, a key aspect that contributes to its high-quality picture display. DLP technology relies on a digital micromirror device (DMD) to reflect light and create images, which results in vibrant colors and sharp details. This technology also minimizes the risk of image burn-in that can be a concern with other display types such as CRT and plasma.

The HDLP61 supports a native resolution of 720p, providing clear and crisp images that enhance the viewing of high-definition content. Additionally, it is compatible with 1080p signals, making it a flexible choice for various types of media sources, including cable, satellite, and Blu-ray players. The television also features a 16:9 aspect ratio, which aligns perfectly with modern high-definition content.

In terms of connectivity, the RCA HDLP61 is equipped with multiple input options, including HDMI, component, and S-Video ports, allowing users to connect various devices such as gaming consoles, DVD players, and streaming devices with ease. This versatility ensures that users can enjoy a wide range of entertainment options on the large screen.

Another notable characteristic of the HDLP61 is its built-in audio system, which includes speakers that deliver decent sound quality, complementing the visual experience. However, audiophiles may opt to connect external sound systems for a more robust audio experience.

The RCA HDLP61 is also designed with user-friendly controls and features, including an intuitive on-screen menu that makes navigating settings a breeze. The television also includes features such as adjustable brightness, contrast, and color settings, allowing users to customize their viewing experience according to personal preference.

Overall, the RCA HDLP61 stands out in the realm of rear-projection televisions because of its combination of advanced DLP technology, vast connectivity options, and user-friendly design. It continues to be remembered as a budget-friendly option that delivered good performance during its time in the consumer electronics market.
