Here are a few of the features built into your new Television:

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

Audio/Video Jack Panels allows direct connections with VCRs,
DVDs, PCs 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.

AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and main-
tains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures,
and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

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.

Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available chan-
nels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active
broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.

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 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.

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.

Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels
that are of interest to you (the ones that you have

programmed into the TV’s Surf control through the onscreen
menu).

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