Using the Remote Control

Tip

The component button corresponding to the mode you’re in flashes when the remote batteries are low and you press a button on the remote. A warning banner may also appear on the screen when you press a remote button and your batteries are low.

INPUT Toggles through the TV’s available input sources (INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3, INPUT 4, HDMI/DVI, DTVLink and last-active channel). To quickly access an input, press the INPUT button and the input number, for example, INPUT + 1 to access INPUT 1.

LIGHT Press to illuminate the remote control’s buttons. To conserve battery power, the light turns off after several seconds. Backlight won’t activate if batteries are low, but blinks on and off quickly.

MENU Makes Main Menu appear and disappear.

MUTE Reduces the TV’s volume to its minimum level. Press again to restore volume. The TV’s Audio Output menu must be set to Variable Level, Speakers On to control the TV’s volume.

OK When a menu item is highlighted, press OK to select the item.

ON•OFF Turns the TV on or off. Your HDTV is equipped with a special lamp system. In order to preserve the life of the lamp, the TV must warm up and cool down properly when you turn the TV on and off. When you turn the TV off, the screen turns blue and fades to black. While the screen is blue, you can still turn the TV back on. If the screen is black when you try to turn it on, the TV’s lamp is in its cool-down cycle. The TV’s audio comes on, then the picture is displayed after a few moments.

In other modes (VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX, AUDIO), and if programmed, turns the component on and off.

PIP Makes the PIP window appear and disappear (See Chapter 3 for more information about using PIP.)

PRESETS Toggles through the Picture Presets for the input currently tuned to. The preset is only temporarily changed and goes back to the original menu setting when you change channels or inputs or turn off the TV.

REVERSE, PLAY, FORWARD, RECORD, STOP, PAUSE If programmed, provides transport control for some remote- controllable VCRs and CD and DVD players. In TV mode, can control a DTVLink component when tuned to the DTVLink input.

SAT/CAB (Satellite/Cable) Places the remote in SAT/CAB mode. If Auto Tuning is enabled, turns on the TV and tunes it to the correct Video Input Channel.

SKIP Press once before changing channels and the TV returns to the original channel after 30 seconds. Press repeatedly to add more time. Press CLEAR to cancel.

SOUND On digital channels/inputs, toggles the audio mode (if available for that channel). For analog channels, toggles SAP on or off. If you change channels/inputs, the default for Audio Mode or SAP is restored. Does not affect default menu settings for SAP or Audio Mode.

SWAP When using PIP, switches the main picture with the PIP window.

TV Places the remote in TV mode. Turns on the TV and tunes to the last-viewed TV channel or input.
