Features

Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature monitors and corrects both the sharpness control and noise reduction control.

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, com- fortable sound.

AutoLock™ allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inappropriate materials.

AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color, tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, such as sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals with the push of one button.

AutoSound™ allows you to select from four factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer- ences through the onscreen Sound menu. The four factory-set con- trols (Speech, Movie, Music, and Multimedia) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you are watching.

Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list stored in the TV’s memory. Channel Edit makes it easy to limit or expand the number of channels that are available to you when you press the Channel (+) or (–) buttons on your remote control.

Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text.

Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remote-con- trolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.

Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for set- ting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or Spanish).

Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount of time that you choose.

Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF once or daily like an alarm clock.
