that can be recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycle your product to increase the amount of reusable materials and minimize the amounts that need to be properly disposed. The batteries used by your product should not be thrown away when depleted but should be handed in and disposed of as small chemical waste. Please find out about the local regulations concerning how to dispose of your old television, batteries, and packaging materials whenever it is time to replace them. End-of-life Disposal Alternate Channel (A/CH) button allows you to switch back and forth between the currently viewed channel and the previously viewed channel. Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) Because both analog sources (cable TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.) the picture on a digital television may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom. Once black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture, pixel-by-pixel, just enough to blur image retention. Because APAC works in both the analog and digital modes, you have excellent protection. Audio/video jacks allow direct connections with VCRs and other accessories for quality TV picture and sound playback. Component video input jacks are provided for high-fidelity color and picture resolution when using digital video source material, such as a DVD. Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) control keeps the TV’s 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 maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments. AutoLock protects young children from objectionable programming with V-chip technology. Auto Picture allows you to push a button and adapt your TV’s picture to various types of programs, such as sports, movies, and multimedia (games). Auto Sound allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own preferences through the onscreen Sound submenu. The three factory-set controls—Voice, Music, and Theatre—enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular programming you are watching. Channel Edit allows you to add or remove channels from the list of channels 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 CH +/– buttons on your remote control. Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or voice conversations as onscreen text. Auto Contrast helps you sharpen the picture quality by making the contrast between the dark and bright picture areas more noticeable as the image on screen changes. High-definition component video inputs allow you to connect High-definition signals to the TV (HD INPUT-AV 4 only). The result is superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise. Your set provides separate HD inputs for YPbPr/RGB, as well as horizontal and vertical sync. Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin speaker system. The system enables you to hear stereo sound or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are available. Incredible Surround enhances stereo programs by making the sound broader and fuller. Onscreen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or set those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or Spanish). Standard broadcast (VHF/UHF) or cable TV (CATV) channel capability, as well as advanced capability for high-definition video. Three-line comb filter provides improved chroma/luminance separation to the picture. Offering vertical-edge enhancement and virtually no “dot crawl,” this filter easily supports the demands of DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.
