FEATURES Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals to help provide the best picture quality. This feature monitors 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, comfortable 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™ allows you to block the viewing of certain channels or programs with certain ratings if you do not want your children to view inappropriate materials. Auto Programming scans (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations in the TV's memory. AutoPicture™ allows you to change the picture settings (color, 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 preferences through the onscreen Sound menu. The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) enable you to tailor the TV sound so as to enhance the particular programming you are watching. Channel Edit allows you to add or delete channels from the list 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. Closed Captioning allows the viewer to read TV program dialogue or voice conversations as onscreen text. Dynamic Contrast helps to sharpen the picture quality by improving the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of the picture. Eye Fidelity (also know as Digital Options) give a choice of two different scanning technics - Progressive Scan or Interlaced. Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating any picture flicker. The Interlaced mode provides a double vertical display scan, which reduces annoying motion sweeps. The Interlaced mode will also smooth out the jagged lines sometimes seen on the edges of curved or angled surfaces. Infrared Remote Control works your TV and other remotecontrolled devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers. Onscreen Menu shows helpful messages and instructions for setting TV feature controls (can be viewed in English, French, or Spanish). Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV OFF after a set amount of time that you choose. Standard Broadcast (VHF/UHF) or Cable TV (CATV) channel capability allows for viewing by antenna or cable. Stereo capability, including a built-in audio amplifier and twinspeaker system, allows for the reception of TV programs broadcast in stereo sound. Surf Button allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you (the ones that you have programmed into the TV's Surf control through the onscreen menu). Timer allows you to set your TV to turn itself ON and OFF once or daily like an alarm clock.
