Main Menu

This television has a built-in web browser for linking to the Internet. To fully operate the web browser, you will need the right keyboard, a connection to the Internet via the Ethernet jack, and an Internet service provider.

Some remote keys will allow limited pointing (arrow keys), selection (OK key), and BACK and FORWARD web page navigation (REVERSE and FORWARD keys). To quit the browser from the remote, press CLEAR. To open the

web browser now, press OK.

Press OK or￿to launch the web browser and connect to the Internet.

Using the Web Browser

Important: To use the TV’s browser, you must have your TV connected to the Internet (e.g., cable modem or DSL) and subscribe to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

You can start the browser on your TV by selecting it from the main menu. The TV front panel and remote control provide basic navigation without a keyboard. If you launch the browser from the main menu, a message pops up to suggest that you use a keyboard to use with this TV to connect to the Internet.

The optional keyboard will allow you to get optimum use of web browser features. The keyboard (model number KBR755TA1) is available at www.rca.com/keyboard or 800-798-5875.

When you start the browser for the first time, it goes to an RCA website. All FAV keyboard buttons are also initially programmed to that site. The FAV SEARCH and FAV HOME buttons on the keyboard default to a search site but you can reprogram them.

The FORMAT button on your remote (or keyboard) allows you to cycle through various combinations of a less than full screen browser and some TV video. Just press the button again to use a different format.

Note: If you usually use this method to browse, change the layout periodically to reduce the effects of uneven screen aging.

To close the browser entirely, press CLEAR on the remote.

You may discover that other browser windows are open. This may be the result of a pop-up window being delivered from the site you were viewing. Press “Close Window” button to close it or click the “Close Window icon” on the window.

Note: The browser won’t display streaming video or audio, and some animated graphics.

Browser Screen Burn Prevention

If the browser is idle for a period of time, a pop-up message appears to remind you to turn it off when you are not using it to prevent uneven wear of the screen. Remember that fixed images tend to “burn” in. In browser mode, the contrast level of your TV is automatically set to a reduced level to help slow the effects of uneven screen aging.

Additional steps have been taken to mitigate uneven screen aging on your TV. You will notice that the usual browser menu and on-screen buttons that you may be accustomed to using with your PC are not displayed on- screen. Instead, these functions are provided on your remote or optional keyboard.

Tips

If you use the video window in the browser and you press channel up/down and the video window seems to disappear, this means you’ve either tuned to a channel which is blocked or has a weak signal. Use the channel up/down to go to another channel.

Sometimes the browser locks onto an incompatible website and it won’t open. Exiting the browser will not correct this condition. When the browser is restarted, the browser returns to the last-used website. To correct this condition, either press a FAV button to go to a known good website or press “Address” and enter a good website.

Saving Your Favorite URLs

Program any favorite (FAV) key, including HOME and SEARCH, to any URL (website address). After you’ve browsed to a favorite URL, just press the desired key and hold it until a message appears. That site’s URL will be assigned to the key you pressed and saved in the TV. The next time you press the key briefly, the browser will automatically go to the site you saved.

You can store 32 additional URLs (websites) by using the following buttons together: SHIFT and FAV, CTRL and FAV, ALT and FAV.
