Advanced Twin TunerPicture-In-Picture

Two built-in, independent tuning systems allow both large-picture and small-picture viewing without the need for a second external video source (e.g., VCR). In addition to the standard RCA PIP feature of Swap, the Twin Tuner PIP System also provides:

–Continuous Move

Permits placement of the small picture anywhere on the screen.

–Commercial Skip-to-PIP This exclusive RCA feature allows the main picture to move to the PIP window simultaneously with the activation of an on-screen countdown timer. The viewer can then monitor the original program while browsing through other channels during commercial breaks.

Countdown timer returns TV to original channel, so other channels can be browsed during program breaks.

Auto Tune

After initial setup, just pressing one component button on the TV’s remote (either VCR, RCA®- DIRECTVSystem, cable, or DVD) turns on both the TV and the component and also automatically tunes the TV to the correct viewing channel. Just one press!

Picture Memory for Video Inputs

Custom picture settings are activated whenever direct video inputs are selected. Allows tailored picture performance with each video source.

Picture Reset

Instantly returns picture to factory settings for Color, Tint, Contrast, Brightness, and Sharpness.

Advanced Auto Channel Search

Auto Cable/Air Switch sets tuner to cable or “off-air” frequencies during initial setup. Then system automatically scans for and locks active channels into channel memory.

On-Screen Menu System On-screen displays make it easy to adjust most picture, sound, and convenience features from either the remote control or the TV front panel buttons.

Interactive Setup Menu Convenient on-screen menu system automatically steps user through the initial setup procedures.

–Sleep Timer

Automatically turns off the TV after a preset time period — for those times when you drift off to sleep in front of the television.

–Alarm Timer

Wake up to your favorite morning show or turn on your television automatically to catch your favorite program.

–Scheduling Timer

Since the alarm setting remains in the TV memory indefinitely, the TV can be scheduled to turn on at the same time every day.

On-Screen Picture Tilt Convenient on-screen adjustment of picture tilt for large screen TVs affected by Earth’s magnetic field.

Assign on-screen characters to easily identify channels (e.g., NBC, HBO, ESPN, VH-1).

Front Panel Lockout Completely disables front panel controls to prevent toddlers from altering settings.

V-Chip Parental Control Puts control back into the hands of the viewer by blocking unwanted television broadcasts with U.S. Government required circuitry. Blocks three types of programs: regular television programs, broadcast movies and unrated programs.

Program rating information is sent by the broadcaster continuously during the program. The television will match program rating to user preference and block the entire program (when program is aired with the encoded signal). User preference is secured using a four-digit password.

Non-Volatile Memory

In case of most power outages, the picture adjustments and channel selections are stored in electronic memory.

Remote Control Low-Battery Indicator Automatically notifies user of low battery power with an appropriate on-screen message.

Caption Vision Closed Caption Capability6

Assists the hearing impaired, helps children learn to read, and aids in the teaching of English as a second language. Built-in Closed Caption Decoder displays the audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen (when program is aired with the encoded signal).
