Introduction Thank you for choosing RCA Congratulations on purchasing this RCA High Definition Television (HDTV) featuring Digital Light Processing™ (DLP™) technology—a true viewing experience. Your purchase decision represents an investment in a new generation of technology— DLP and HDTV. Even though this is a technologically advanced HDTV, it is the most user-friendly of its kind— with comprehensive on-screen instructions that guide you through all of the TV’s features.
Introduction Part 2: Why RCA DLP is better DLP is just part of the story. You have chosen to embark on the next generation of TV viewing— HDTV. There are many technological advancements that make HDTV better than analog TV, but there are basically three things about HDTV that bring you a superior viewing experience: (1) resolution, (2) aspect ratio, and (3) digital signal and sound. Resolution (it’s math...
Introduction Digital Signal and Sound The analog television broadcast system that has been used in the United States for the past 50 years transmits signals as electronic waves. These waves can suffer degradation as the signal travels to your home. Additionally, the analog waves are susceptible to interference from planes passing overhead, weather, and household appliances.
Introduction Audio/Video Output Jacks Because the VCRs in most households are analog and can’t receive or record digital TV signals, recording digital TV broadcasts wasn’t possible without purchasing additional equipment. That’s why RCA added AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to this HDTV. These jacks enable you to record both analog and digital programs. RCA understands how you watch TV and what’s necessary to make the transition to HDTV seamless.

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 or power strip. NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. Turn off the TV and/or component(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables. Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions sheet packed with your TV.
Connections & Setup Choose Your Connection There are several ways to connect your HDTV, depending on the components you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. Please use the following chart to determine which connection is best for you. Proceed to the appropriate page and connect your TV. For more information about the relationship between the cables, jacks, and the quality of the signal you see on your TV, go to the following page. Note for U.S.
Connections & Setup Explanation of Jacks and Cables The diagrams below illustrate jacks found on the back of the TV. When connecting cables, be sure to connect corresponding outputs and inputs (video input into video out, right audio input into right audio out, etc.). This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections (cables may be ordered separately by calling the number on page 66). There are several ways to connect components to your TV.
Connections & Setup AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Connect a VCR or DVD-recorder to record digital and analog programs from the Cable or Antenna Input (excluding copyprotected programs and component video formats) while the TV is turned on. You must leave the TV on the same channel you are recording. AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT R L V Composite Audio Cable (RCA Type) • R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red. • L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

Connections & Setup HDMI/DVI INPUT Use menu for DVI audio. HDMI/DVI INPUT (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed digital interface that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with DVI components. Note: If you connect a component with a DVI jack to the HDMI/DVI input, you’ll need an HDMI to DVI adapter.
Connections & Setup The Front of Your TV Front Input Jacks The TV has front input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital camera, or video game system. Look for a hinged door and press to open the cover. Please note the illustration below is just an example of how these jacks might appear. Notes: When you plug in headphones, the TV’s internal speakers are muted. Use the VOL up or down button to control the volume.

Be sure to insert the plug completely. Do not plug the TV into an outlet controlled by a light switch. Note: When you first plug your TV into an outlet, the Power indicator on the front panel will light and blink for approximately 30 seconds and then go off during the initialization of the TV.

Using the Remote Control 3. Point the remote at the component, press and release PLAY, then wait five seconds or until the component button you’re trying to program stops flashing. At this point the remote control is searching for the correct code to program, so keep pointing it at the component. If, after five seconds, the component you want to control does not turn off, press and release PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Using the Remote Control Modes of Operation Because this universal remote can control several different components (DVD player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote control to operate the TV, press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode. If you want the remote to operate the VCR, press the VCR button. The button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you press any button that works in that mode.
