Chapter 1: Connections & Setup  
Things to Consider Before You Connect  
Remote Controls  
You will need a master remote (R130K2) or ClonePRO™ to set up the TV. Contact your RCA commercial  
distributor to purchase these. To locate an RCA commercial distributor call 1-800-333-7221.  
Protect against Power Surges  
Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.  
Turn off the TV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed  
with your TV.  
Protect Components from Overheating  
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate  
freely.  
Don’t stack components.  
If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.  
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t flow  
around other components.  
Position Cables Properly to avoid audio Interference  
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of  
straight down the middle of the TV.  
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away  
from audio/video cables.  
Important Stand and Base Safety Information  
Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength  
to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. is could cause personal  
injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.  
Use Indirect Light  
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect  
lighting.

additional Jacks and Cables  
VIDEO 1  
VIDEO, AUDIO R and L/MONO INPUTS Used to connect components such as a VCR, DVD  
player, camcorder, or video game consoles with audio/video outputs. ese jacks are used for most  
audio/video connections between components.  
Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left  
(white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the right audio part of the cable.  
R (RIGHT) AUDIO Provides right audio connection. e right audio cable is usually red.  
L
(LEFT)/MONO AUDIO Provides left audio connection. e left audio cable is usually  
white.  
VIDEO Provides composite video connection. e video cable is usually yellow.  
S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the video jacks because the color part of the  
signal is separated from the black and white part of the picture. When using S-VIDEO IN,  
make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the L/MONO and R AUDIO Input jacks  
(an S-Video cable is required).  
DSCI PORT is port is used to transfer information between a TV and other devices, such as a  
clone box or interactive system. is port is an eight-pin telephone-type port. When the TV receives  
a message via the DSCI (digital serial communications interface) port, it will act in accordance with  
the digital instructions received. For more information on its connection and operation, please  
contact your distributor or the supplier of the interactive system.

Parental Controls and V-Chip  
e choices in the USA V-CHIP menu involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and  
movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view.  
Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.  
By default, the V-Chip software inside your TV is turned “off.”  
How V-Chip Works  
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If  
you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, "is channel has not been  
approved for viewing". Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.  
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block  
their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated, and programs that are considered  
unrated. e TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block follow:

Canadian French V-Chip Rating System  
18+ (Adults) Programming is for adults only. is program contains sustained violence or extremely violent scenes.  
16+ (Viewers 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. is program contains frequent scenes of violence or  
intensely violent scenes.  
13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. is program either contains several violent  
scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended  
for children under the age of 13.  
8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. is program is suitable for most audiences, but it contains mild or  
occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children  
(under the age of 8) who do not distinguish between reality and imagination.  
G (General Audience) is program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or any violence that it does contain is either  
minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an unrealistic way.

Using the ClonePRO™  
Modes of operation  
e ClonePRO operates from one of two modes:  
DSCI Connect a DSCI cable to the ClonePRO remote and to the TV’s DSCI  
port on the back panel.  
IR (Infrared) is operation is wireless. Press ON to begin using the remote in IR  
mode.  
e corresponding “ready” light indicates the mode of operation, and the corresponding  
“busy” light indicates activity in this mode.  
Buttons with black labels function similarly in both modes, while green labels operate  
DSCI mode and red labels operate IR mode.  
DSCI mode  
e ClonePRO enters this mode when it is connected to the TV’s Digital Serial  
Communications Interface port via a cable (included).  
• Any standard (no-flip, 1-to-1) 8-conductor computer-networking cable  
may be used.  
• No battery is required in this mode.  
• If the unit is already in IR mode, press OFF to speed the transition to  
DSCI mode.  
DSCI (green) buttons  
Comm Restores the TV to normal commercial operation, essentially undoing the effect of the Legacy and Decom buttons.  
Decom “Decommercializes” the TV to facilitate aftermarket resale.  
[Factory] Available in certain models only.  
Note: Pressing FACTORY overwrites any settings already in the TV.  
LEARN Begins the process of learning the settings from a TV that has been setup as desired.  
Note: Pressing LEARN overwrites any settings already in the ClonePRO.  
Legacy Places the TV in a mode in which it emulates the behavior of older models. is is a required part of the configuration for some  
applications.  
POWER Turns on the TV. It is recommended, though not required, when in DSCI mode to view on-screen displays.  
[Status]: Press and hold the INFO button for several seconds to display settings stored in the ClonePRO and the TV. For example:  
Mem: CB:36 TV:36  
is tells you the ClonePRO and the TV have 36 pages of information stored in memory.

Other Information  
Across the screen are red dashes. Press any button on the remote control you are using. Red pulses should appear, telling you the TV is  
recognizing the remote and is able to send out that information. If red pulses don’t appear, contact your RCA distributor.  
TEACH: is begins the process of teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV to which it is connected.  
Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.  
After successful teaching, the TV will turn off and reboot.  
If the memory-image stored in the clone-box is not valid for the TV, an on-screen message will advise of the conflicting memory-sizes.  
IR mode  
e ClonePRO enters the IR mode when any button on the bottom row of the keypad is pressed (without connection to a TV DSCI port).  
A standard 9V battery (accessed via a small rear panel) is required to enable this mode.  
Notes: Like any IR (infrared) remote control, the ClonePRO requires a reasonable line of sight between it and the TV  
for proper signaling. Obstructions, long distances, sharp angles and certain specialty lighting can reduce the effective  
range.  
If the “IR ready” light stays on longer than 1 minute by itself, temporarily remove the battery to reset it.  
Remove the battery prior to long-term storage.  
IR (red) Buttons  
Note: You must press the ON button for the IR buttons to operate.  
Master+ & Master- e Master- button disables access to the TV’s master menus via the master remote. (Some third-party devices,  
attached to the TV’s DSCI port as part of a larger system, may disable access to master menus even after they are disconnected.) To enable  
the master menus, press Master+.  
OFF Turns the TV off, and turns the ClonePRO off.  
ON Turns the TV on, and turns on the ClonePRO IR mode, ready for subsequent buttons. Note that the unit will automatically turn  
itself off 30 seconds after the last button has been pressed to extend battery-life.  
TEACH Begins teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV, effectively “Cloning” the initially configured TV. May be made  
more reliable for older models by first filling the memory of the example TV with channel-labels on unused channels.  
After an IR TEACH, older-model TVs do not need to reboot.  
Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.  
A TV must be turned on before being taught in IR mode.  
After successful teaching, the TV turns off and turns on with the new settings.  
If the TV displays the message Cloning Timeout or Cloning Aborted, press TEACH again to retry, experimenting with the ClonePRO  
at different distances and angles from the TV.  
If no valid settings have been stored via a DSCI LEARN, the IR ready light will come on but nothing will appear on the TV screen.  
Note: The ClonePRO cannot be used to cross clone (to copy the memory of older models into newer models, or vice  
versa), because the two have completely different memory-maps, memory-sizes, features and settings.  
[Config]: Pressing and holding this button in IR mode toggles the “decommercialization” and aftermarket resale of older-model televisions.  
Note that this is not reversible after turning-off older-model TVs.

a new LEARN operation.  
e ClonePRO remote is capable of cloning the following items:  
1. Settings in the Main Menu - Master.  
2. All analog channels located in the channel lists A, B, and C.  
3. Channel labels for channels 2-99.  
4. Up to 30 digital channels from the digital channel list.  
Note: The TEACH function should be performed in analog mode due to the interlaced bus  
traffic in digital mode.  
General troubleshooting  
Problems with the DSCI mode  
• Make sure the TV is plugged into a live electrical outlet.  
• Make sure the ClonePRO is plugged into the TV’s DSCI port.  
• e connecting cable should have at least 6 wires, mapping 1-to-1 (not flipped).
