Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time _ . . Letterboxtop / bottom black bars : or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you leave subtle but permanent ghost images . To avoid this , watch a widescreen ( 16 : 9 ) movie on a standard ( 4 : 3 ) TV . mix your viewing patterns . Reducing the initial contrast level can help slow the aging process . Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15 % of your total TV viewing in any given week . Display constantly Side bar images : moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever solid bars shown on each side of an image when possible . watching a standard ( 4 : 3 ) program on a widescreen ( 16 : 9 ) TV . This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen . All picture tubes age with use . As they age , their light output is gradually reduced .

Connecting External Devices & NetCommand Â® Setup NetOommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the " IV to each device . NetCommand is also able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio video devices not already in the TV's memory . NetOommand will also automatically switch the TV and compatible or learned Audio / Video ( A / V ) Receivers to the correct input used with each device . It is important that the inputs on the " IV and A / V Receiver match the NetOommand Setup . To simpfify the installation of NetOommand , there is a step - by - step on - screen NetCommand Setup procedure . This procedure details the type and brands of devices you are connecting to the TV . The NetOommand Setup also assigns preset TV and AN Receiver inputs for each device . You should connect each device to the TV input ( both audio and video ) and to the AN Receiver ( audio ) as shown in the figure below . Device to be connected stereo and / or digital video and stereo ] / audio cables audio cables " IV " IV monitor output video , stereo and digital audio cables The following charts show which preset inputs you should use on the TV and A / V Receiver .

NetCommand Â® Pre - Memorized Devices Below is a list of several manufacturers devices tested and shown to be compatible with the NetCommand control system . When you use these devices you will be able to control them without changing the setting of the remote control from TV to another product . NetCommand may be able to operate additional models since many manufacturers use the same control signals to operate some or all of the models they offer . This chart lists only the models that have been tested with NetCommand . For each manufacturer , models other than those specified above may be compatible . If the manufacturer of the device you own is not listed below or if your device does not operate using the same remote control as the models listed below , you should use the learning feature to add your device to the NetCommand memory .

However , there will be some types of signals that cannot be learned . For devices not listed in the table above , you can use the learning feature by selecting " Other " at the [ Device ] screen . The procedure for this is outlined in the Edit NetCommand section of this book , Chapter 3 . NOTE : There are many different types of remotes and some of them may not be compatible with the learning feature . Bright light near the TV screen can also adversely affect the learning feature . If it is not possible to learn a device , you will need to use the original remote control of the device , or program the TV remote to operate these devices in the traditional manner . 17

A device with a B - pin connector can Digital VOR send this electrical power to another device , or receive DVD electrical power from another device , or simply use a 6 - TV pin connector without using the two additional pins . Hub Connection Style A B - pin connector cannot be connected directly to a 4 - pin The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to connect jack , and vice versa . To connect your devices using the " IV as a hub within the audio / video a 6 - pin device to a 4 - pin device , network . Each device can send information , which you will need to obtain a B - pin to may include audio and video , to any other device in the 4 - pin adaptor cable . These cables network . 6 prnt _ 4 pin _ d _ F _ : tr are available from electronic and computer stores . If you connect a 6 - pin device to the TV ( such as a camcorder ) that is designed to receive electrical power DJg _ from another 6 - pin device , then you will need to connect VOF _ # 1 DVO # 1 the camcorder directly to the household PC , or use the camcorder's battery for power . If this is not possible , then the camcorder will need to be connected directly to another B - pin device in the network that can provide the electrical power . [ _ her 13 _ Device # 2 45

Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices , continued When Connecting IEEE 1394 Devices â€¢ Do not loop the last device in the chain back to the - iV . When the device chain is looped , the TV may not be able to work with the other devices . â€¢ Place devices that have only a mechanical ( two - position ) power switch at the end of the chain or leave the power switch in the ON position . When turned OFF , IEEE 1394 signals may not be able to pass through the device to other devices . Place devices with the slowest communication speed at the end of the chain . Sometimes the communication speed will be marked near the IEEE 1394 connector with an " S " number . The higher the number , the faster the communication speed . Devices with slow communication speed can interfere with IEEE 1394 signals from faster devices . When using NetCommand to set up a digital recording between a faster and slower device , select " Record Later " . â€¢ Do not use an IEEE 1394 cable longer than 15 feet between each device . â€¢ This " ] - V is an IEEE 1394a Device . IEEE 1394b is currently under development . This system will provide for longer distances and multi - room applications . Included in the IEEE 1394b systems are IEEE 1394a to IEEE 1394b converters to maintain compatibility with this " ] - V and other IEEE 1394a devices . Adding IEEE 1394 Devices Automatically When an IEEE 1394 device is connected into the TV network and is powered ON , the new device will automatically announce its presence . This process is called device discovery and can take up to 1 minute . Some non - audio / video or non - compatible IEEE 1394 devices , such as Personal Computers ( PCs ) , may not announce their presence to the " ] - V . The " ] - Vwill not be able to show these devices in the Device Selection menu , however , they can coexist and will still be available to other devices on the IEEE 1394 network that are compatible with these non - audio / video devices . IEEE 1394 cable boxes and satellite receivers may require that you use the remote control that came with those devices . For some compatible devices , the Cable / DBS / DTV position of the TV remote control may be able to control operation . Name for 1394 Device Screen New 1394 Device Screen Figure 2 Figure t If yOUchoose to add the discovered IEEE 1394 device , When your TV discovers a new IEEE 1394 device , the the Name for 1394 Device screen will appear .

Match the input names for the TV Input and A / V Receiver Input selections . If your A / V Receiver has other inputs than those listed in the menu , those other inputs are not available for NetCommand . The playback and record control of some DV camcorders may still operate by the IEEE 1394 cable automatically , even though you must use the video or S - video cable for the picture . In this case , when you select the Camcorder , be sure to select analog ( not digital ) from the pop up when a camcorder is selected from the Device Selection menu . Figure 3 . fEEE t394 Device Type screen Then the picture is shown via the analog connection but control is from IEEE 1394 . Once the device type is selected , then the Device screen is displayed so the manufacturer can be selected . If the manufacturer is listed , then you may be able to control this device while it is operating as an analog VCR . For example , if the IEEE 1394 device you have added is a Mitsubishi D - VHS VCR , and you have selected an analog connection as a second connection , then you will select Mitsubishi for the manufacturer . If the manufacturer is not listed , select " Other " and use the Learn screens . Be sure to place an IR Emitter in front of the remote control sensor , just as you have done for other NetCommand Â® traditional devices . It is necessary to use Figure 5 .
