AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer- ences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set con- trols (Voice, Music and Theatre) 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.

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.
