GENERAL INFORMATION

Features

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 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.

programs with certain ratings if you do not want your children to

view inappropriate materials.

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.

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.

trolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and

satellite receivers.

ting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or
