Features

Integrated Digital Tuning: In addition to the 181-channel NTSC analog tuner, this TV has built-in 8VSB ATSC and QAM digital tuners, eliminating the need for a separate DTV digital set-top box in most cases.

Native Resolution: The display resolution of this widescreen TV is 1366 x 768 pixels. All input signals are converted and displayed at this resolution.

CableClear DNR+: CableClear DNR+ reduces visible interference in the TV picture. It utilizes the 3D Digital Y/C Comb Filter to compare frames and determine the existence and extent of video noise, then applies the needed amount of digital video noise reduction, and the appropriate sharpness adjustment to keep the picture clear. The feature works on RF and Video inputs and can be controlled by input.

Wide Screen Modes: You can view many 4:3 aspect ratio (480i and 480p) programs in a variety of picture sizes:

• Natural: image is displayed close to its originally formatted proportion
• TheaterWide 1: picture is non-uniformly enlarged; the center remains close to the original proportion, but the left and right edges are stretched wider to fill the screen
• TheaterWide 2: entire picture is uniformly enlarged; part of the picture at the top and bottom are hidden
• TheaterWide 3: picture is non-uniformly enlarged; picture is stretched wider to fill the width of the screen, but only slightly stretched taller
• Full (for 16:9 programs): picture is non-uniformly enlarged; picture stretched wider to fill the screen, but not taller

Picture Modes: You can select your desired picture type from four picture modes:

• Sports: bright and dynamic picture
• Standard: standard picture setting
• Movie: movie-like picture setting
• Memory: You can adjust the contrast, brightness, color, tint, and sharpness to your personal tastes.

Favorite Channels: This feature allows you to store 12 of your favorite channels and scan through only those favorites.

Locks Menu: You can prevent some TV programs and movies from being watched by children by activating one of the Lock modes. You can block programs based on the TV age-based ratings (Y, Y7, G, PG, 14, MA) or TV content ratings (violence, language, suggestive dialog, etc.). Movies can be blocked based on the ratings system of the MPAA (G, PG, PG13, R, NC17, X). You can also lock out specific channels, or lock out specific video inputs. The lock modes are protected by a 4-digit password.

Game Timer: You can use the GameTimer to set a time limit of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes for playing a video game. When the GameTimer is activated, the TV enters the Video Lock mode and locks out the input source for the video game device. GameTimer is protected by a 4-digit PIN code.

Panel Lock: To prevent settings from being accidentally changed, the Panel Lock feature makes the side panel buttons inoperable. The 4-digit PIN code is required to enable the Panel Lock.

Long Life Feature: The long life settings help to reduce the risk of phosphor burn-in of the plasma screen:

• Reverse: The picture is displayed alternately between positive image and negative image to reduce burn-in.
• White: A white pattern is displayed on the whole screen to help in the recovery of minor phosphor burn-in.
• Picture Shift: When on, the picture imperceptibly moves around the screen intermittently to reduce the risk of burn-in.
• Side Panel Color: The gray level feature will set the sidebar (during 4:3 image viewing) to two different levels of darkness: gray or black.

SRS WOW: WOW is a special combination of SRS Labs audio technologies that creates a surround sound experience with deep, rich bass from stereo sound sources, making the TV audio sound fuller, richer, and wider. WOW consists of three features:

• SRS 3D: turns on/off the surround sound effect
• FOCUS: turns on/off the vocal emphasis effect
• TruBass: selects the desired bass expansion level (High, Low, or Off)

StableSound: When the signal source is changed, the StableSound feature limits the highest volume level to prevent extreme changes in volume. StableSound can be turned on/off as needed.

Sleep Timer: You can set the sleep timer to turn off the TV automatically after a pre-determined amount of time. The sleep timer can be set between 10 minutes and 2 hours in 10-minute increments.

On Timer: You can use the On timer to turn the TV on at a preset time. The timer can be set to Once or Daily.
