Chapter 1: Connections & Setup

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

???Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

???Turn off the TV/DVD and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

???Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately.

Protect Components from Overheating

???Don???t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

???Don???t stack components.

???If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

???If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won???t flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

???Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

???If you place components above the TV/DVD, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV/DVD instead of straight down the middle of the TV/DVD.

???If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your TV/DVD carefully. Place the TV/DVD on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV/DVD from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV/DVD. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately.

Use Indirect Light

Don???t place the TV/DVD where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.

Types of Discs Your TV/DVD will Play

???DVD discs - DVD discs contain high quality picture and sound content.

???Audio discs - Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. This player is also capable of playing CDs that contain JPEG files.

???Video CD discs ??? Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc, and the quality of the video.

???mp3 discs ??? A disc that contains audio files (for example, a CD-R with downloaded mp3 files).

3.To return to the previous channel, continue pressing INPUT.

You???ll use these buttons when programming the remote.

Using the Remote Control

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:

???automatic code search

???direct entry

Using Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

1.Turn on the component you want to operate.

2.Press and hold the component button you want to program. While holding the component button, press and hold ON???OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3.Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY (the indicator light on the remote flashes).

The remote is searching for the correct code to program. When the indicator stops flashing (after about 5 seconds), press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all the codes for that particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn off, then the remote can???t be programmed to operate that component.

Note: Each time you press PLAY, the remote sends about 10 sets of codes. Therefore, you might have to press the PLAY button up to 20 times.

If the component you want to operate does turn off:

1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.

2.To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.

Using Direct Entry

1.Turn on the component to be programmed.

2.Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3.Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

4.Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn???t programmable.

5.Release the component button.

6.Point the remote at the component. Press ON???OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn???t, try pressing the component button and then ON???OFF again.

???If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

???If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn???t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

Using the Remote Control

How to Use the Remote After You???ve Programmed It

Because this universal remote can operate several different components it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could operate the TV.

1.Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR) to set the remote to operate the component.

2.Press ON???OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3.Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)

The choices in the USA V-CHIP menu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view.

Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.

By default, the software inside your TV is turned ???off.??? For instructions to turn on V-Chip, go to page 32.

Using the TV???s Features

How V-Chip Works

V-Chip reads the program???s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message

This channel has not been approved for viewing. Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated, and programs that are considered unrated. The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block follow:

USA V-Chip Rating System

Canadian French V-Chip Rating System

18+ (Adults) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent scenes.

16+ (Viewers 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.

13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This program either contains several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children under the age of 13.

8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not distinguish between reality and imagination.

G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an unrealistic way.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV/DVD before cleaning.

The TV/DVD???s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV/DVD.

While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV/DVD. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV/DVD. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV/DVD.

Caution: Using video games or any external accessory with fixed images for extended periods of time can cause them to be permanently imprinted on the picture tube (or projection TV picture tubes). ALSO, some network/program logos, phone numbers, etc. may cause similar damage. This damage is not covered by your warranty.
