Using the Menu System

Short-term vs. Long-term

Power Outages

The Auto channel and Auto volume settings don’t take effect after short-term power outages (usually less than two to three minutes). The TV/DVD will turn back on at the same volume and channel as before the power outage.

The Auto channel and Auto volume settings take effect after power outages of several minutes or more.

Note:

If Parental Controls are locked, you must enter your password to access the Setup menu.

Setup Menu

The Setup menu lets you configure the TV/DVD to fit its surroundings and your preferences. To access the Setup menu, press MENU on the remote, and then select Setup from the main menu.

Channel setup

Signal Type The TV chooses the signal type during the initial setup. If you change how you receive broadcasts through the antenna input, you must change the Signal type setting. Choose Cable if you are using cable or a cable box for TV signals. Choose UHF/VHF Antenna if you are using an off- air antenna for TV signals.

Auto channel search Searches for channels the signal is receiving. Go to page 15 for more information.

Auto channel update Searches for any new channels that are not in your channel list and adds them to the list.

List and labels Edit the channels in the list or choose labels for each channel. Go to page 15 for more information.

Preferences

Language Displays a choice list that lets you select your preferred language for the menus: English, Español or Français.

Maximum TV volume Allows you to set how high volume turns up when you press the VOL+ button. Highlight Maximum volume, then press and hold OK to hear the maximum volume. Make sure the volume has not been muted or turned down all the way.

Curtain effect Reveals the picture by "opening" it from the middle of the screen when the TV/DVD is switched on. Hides the picture by "closing" it from the sides when the TV/DVD is switched off.

Internal DVD player The internal DVD player can be enabled or disabled. If, for example, you're using the TV/DVD with an external DVD player, and you've programmed the remote to work with that player, then you can disable the internal DVD player so that it isn't activated by the buttons on your remote. Then you can use your TV/DVD remote with your external DVD player without the internal DVD player interfering. To enable or disable the internal DVD player, highlight Internal DVD player, then press the OK button for five seconds.

Special features The Auto on setting switches your TV/DVD on after a power outage; Auto channel tunes the TV to the channel you specify as the Initial channel when Auto on is enabled; Auto volume tunes the TV to the volume you set in Initial volume when Auto on is enabled.
