HI,
MY
NAME
IS SCOFF...
...and
I wrote
this user manual.
You're
probably
saying to yourself,
"so you're
the guy." Well,
laugh
if
you must, but it's my job to see that
you have a
rewarding
user manual
experience.
No, really.

ARE YOU
KIDDING?
AN 80-PAGE
I NSTRUCTION
BOOK?
Back in the old days, you bought
a TV, stuck some
rabbit
ears on it, and sat back and enjoyed
test
patterns
and bad sitcoms.
Now, TVs are more like
computers
than
radios,
and you have to jump
through
a few hoops to get the TV up and running.
Don't worry,
it sounds more complicated
than
it is.

READ THE
FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS
These chapters
cover the four
big hoops: get the TV
out of the box and hooked
up, learn to move
through
the menu
system, run the interactive
setup
routine,
and program
the remote
to control
your
VCR and other
stuff.
That's about
thirty
pages' worth
of user manual
stuff.
The rest of the manual
should
be used as reference
material.
You can thumb
through
these
sections
whenever
you get some time.
If you have a specific
question,
refer to the table
of contents
or the index.
CHECK OUTTHE
NOTES
IN THE TEXT
I've spent a lot of time
pestering
the people
who
made your TV: engineers,
designers,
product
managers--you
name
it, I cornered
them.
In the
process, I've gotten
some great
advice about
how to
tweak
the TV. I've passed on as many of these
tips as
I could,
so keep
an eye out for notes in the text.
The road map on the first
page ofl
N
each of the four main chapters
is
J
to let you know
where
you are in
the setup process.
