Notes

Like other Orion TVs, this model lacks input select and menu buttons on the front panel. Changing video sources or accessing the menu requires a remote control. Most universal remotes will work well with this model.

This TV can be modified for RGB input using the OSD Mux method. On this model, image quality via RGB will be slightly cleaner than component.

Disabling Velocity Modulation

This TV features a velocity modulation circuit. VM enhances dark outlines on screen, which helps hide composite dot crawl and can make TV and movies look better. However, it ruins pixel art and significantly degrades the appearance of 2D games.

Unfortunately, this cannot be turned off in the user or service menus and must be physically disconnected. To do this, unplug the cable from connector CP852 on the neck board.
