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.
