• This product must be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label (AC 100~240V 50/60 Hz).
• If the TV will not be used for a long period of time, it should be unplugged from the wall outlet.
Connecting the Antenna
Connecting CATV
Your BenQ TV has an internal 75 ohm coaxial cable connector, so antennal hook-up is very
easy.When connecting a 75-ohm coaxial cable to your BenQ TV, secure it firmly to the ANT
connector. Some cable TV companies provide "pay per view" programming. Since the signal for
these paid channels is encoded, most cable TV companies provide their own tuners/ decoders.
You must install a tuner/ decoder to be able to view locked encoded programming. If you
require special instructions on how to install cable service, please contact your cable TV
provider. The tuner/decoder provided by your cable TV company can be used according to the
following instructions.
Please note: you must have an RF switch with two inputs (A and B) (not supplied).
The "A" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to use the TV's channel selector
button to view unlocked channels. The "B" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to
use the channel selection button on your cable box to view locked encoded programming via the
tuner/decoder.
Setting up Your TV5
Antenna
The antenna equipment has far more effect on reception for color TVs than on black and white
models. We suggest you use a good-quality outdoor antenna. Following are simple explanations
for the connection of various types of antennas.
1. Generally speaking, 75 ohm systems have a
round cable with an F-shaped connector
which requires no tools. Attach the cable
directly to the input (not included).
2. 300 ohm systems have a flat "dual lead" type
cable. A 300-75 ohm transformer may be
used to attach the antenna to a 75 ohm input
(not included).
Installation of an Outdoor Antenna
If an outdoor antenna is required, use any of the following.
A: Use a combination VHF/UHF outdoor antenna.
B: Use separate VHF and/ or UHF outdoor antennas.
Connect the lead from the outdoor antenna to the ANT input on the rear of the TV.
Making Connection
• Before connecting any component, please familiarize yourself with the location and type of
each input. If incorrect connections are made, picture or color quality may be adversely
affected. Please ensure that all connectors are firmly seated.
• Your DVD player, VCR or home theatre system can be connected to the rear of the TV so that
you can enjoy a complete audio-visual experience. Before connecting external devices, turn off
the power to the TV for safety.

Connecting AV Equipment
Connecting Composite (AV) Video Signal
Connect the Composite (AV) signal terminal on the TV to the output of AV
equipment via a Composite (AV) video
cable (RCA connector) as illustrated.
Video game
Composite video input is the most commonly used signal input. However, this type of input also
provides a less optimal image quality. Many video sources can only output Composite video signals, for example, VCRs and camcorders. Other video sources, such as laser disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using Composite video.
Connecting S-Video Signal
Connect your AV equipment to the TV's SVIDEO terminal using an S-video cable.
Pay attention to the direction of the connector on the S-Video cable when inserting.
DVD player
Of all the signal types, S-video provides the second-best quality, and it is far superior to Composite video signals. Because of this, when using satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD
players (without Composite video output) as sources, S-video will provide a clearer, sharper signal.

b/Pb Cr/Pr intput using a
DVD player
1.Of the currently available input signal types, Component video input offers the best quality.
Most commonly, Component video output comes from DVD players. Therefore, when using a
DVD player, we suggest that you use Component video input. The image quality with this type
of input is superior to that obtained with S-video. All HDTV signals must go through this input.
This input can also be used for high-resolution signals, such as for progressive scanning DVD
players or computers.
2. Connect to the Component video input (Y Pb Pr) if your DVD player is a progressive scan
model.
3. Connect to the Component video input (Y Cb Cr) for standard DVD players.
4. Your BenQ TV supports 480p, 720p and 1080i HDTV signals.

Setting up V-CHIP
This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC
data. It prevents children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program:
the Movie Ratings and the TV Ratings. The Movie Ratings are restricted by age. TV Ratings are
restricted by age and content.
Since a TV program may use either the Movie Rratings or the TV Ratings, both should be
adjusted for complete control.

The program is designed for children age 7 and above.It may be
more appropriate for children who have acquired the
developmental skills needed to distinguish between makebelieve and reality.
For those programs where fantasy violence may be more intense
or more combative than other programs in this category, such
programs will be designated TV-Y7-FV.
Most parents would find The program suitable for all ages.
Although this rating does not signify a program designed
specifically for children, most parents may let younger children
watch this program unattended.
The program contains material that parents may find unsuitable
for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with
their younger children.
The program contains some material that many parents would
find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Parents are
strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this
program and are cautioned against letting children under the
age of 14 watch unattended.
The program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and
therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17.
Example
When Y7 in the age-based rating is set to BLOCK, this will automatically block the higher
ratings: Y7FV, G, PG, 14 and MA. Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher agebased ratings regardless of content rating settings.

Exempt programming includes: news, sports, documentaries
and other information programming; talk shows, music videos,
and variety programming.
Programming intended for children with this designation must
adhere to the provisions of the Children's section of the
Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) Voluntary Code on
Violence in TV Programming.
This classification is applied to children's programming that is
generally considered acceptable for youngsters 8 years and over
to view on their own. It is suggested that a parent/guardian coview programming assigned this classification with younger
children under the age of 8.
This is programming intended for a broad, general audience.
While not designed specifically for children, it is understood that
younger viewers may be part of the audience. Therefore
programming within this classification shall contain very little
violence, either physical, verbal or emotional.
This programming, while intended for a general audience, may
not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8).
Parents/guardians should be aware that there might be content
elements which some could consider inappropriate for
unsupervised viewing by children in the 8-13 age range.
Programming with this classification contains themes or content
elements which might not be suitable for viewers under the age
of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in
permitting viewing by pre-teens and early teens without parent/
guardian supervision, as programming with this classification
could deal with mature themes and societal issues in a realistic
fashion.
This classification applies to programming which could contain
any or all of the following content elements which would make
the program unsuitable for viewers under the age of 18.
