Introduction

Key Features Overview

Your TV is equipped with features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following information summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the rest of the TV’s features and how to use them.

Precision CRTs

Your HDTV Monitor features Precision CRTs. These Precision CRTs (cathode ray tubes) produce sharp, high-resolution images, with great detail and better transition between images than regular CRTs.

DVI-HDTV Input

Lets you connect a component with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. DVI provides an uncompressed, digital video interface developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV connection is designed to display either progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.

PIP (Picture-In-Picture) and POP (Picture-Outside-Picture)

Description: PIP lets you watch two channels at one time – one channel on the main screen and the other in a smaller window. POP also lets you watch two channels at one time – one channel on the left side of the screen (the main picture) and the other on the right.

Requirements: Press the PIP button to bring up the PIP window. Press again to bring up POP. Chapter 3 has detailed instructions on how to use the PIP and POP features.

Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMP1 or CMP2).

V-Chip: Parental Controls (for the U.S. and Canada)

Description: You can block programs and movies by content, age-based ratings, and/or movie ratings.

Requirements:

Set up the Parental Control menu in the TV’s main menu (Chapter 3 has details).

The broadcasters must use the rating system when they send the program to your TV in order for your TV to block the program.

Parental controls must be locked for these settings to take affect.
