PRECAUTIONS

NOTES ON HANDLING:

• When shipping the TV/DVD player, always use the

original shipping carton and packing materials. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray near

the TV/DVD player.

• The top and rear panels of the TV/DVD player may

become warm after a long period of use. This is
normal and not a malfunction.

• When the TV/DVD player is not in use, be sure to

remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the TV/DVD player for a long

period, the unit may not function properly in the future.
Turn on and use the TV/DVD player occasionally.

NOTES ON CLEANING:
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent
solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as
thinner and benzene, as they may damage the
surface of the TV/DVD player.

• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the
unit, follow that product’s instructions.
Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or
other components of playback mechanism should be
performed by a qualified service technician.

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:

The TV/DVD player is a high technology, precision
device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are
dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To
obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection
and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every
1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:
Moisture condensation damages the TV/DVD player.
Please read the following carefully.

• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside
this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the TV/
DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases:

• When you bring the TV/DVD player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.

• When you use the TV/DVD player in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind
from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

• In summer, when you use the TV/DVD player in a hot
and humid place just after you moved the unit from an
air conditioned room.

• When you use the TV/DVD player in a humid place.

Do not use the TV/DVD player when moisture
condensation may occur.

• If you use the TV/DVD player in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,
connect the power cord of the TV/DVD player to the wall
outlet, turn on the TV/DVD player and leave it “ON” for
two or three hours. After two or three hours, the TV/DVD
player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the TV/DVD player connected to the wall outlet and
moisture condensation will seldom occur.

POWER SOURCE

Insert the AC plug (with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located AC outlet
having 120V, 60Hz.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help minimize the
possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized
AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to
have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

CA BLE (CATV) / SATELLITE CONNECTIONS

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box.
Some Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals
for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable TV service not requiring a converter/descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the
rear of the TV.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box,
connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler or satellite box. Using another 75 ohm cable,
connect the output of the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections
shown below. Set the TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and
use the converter/descrambler or satellite box to select channels.

CLOSED CAPTIONS

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display
Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning
will display text on the screen for hearing-impaired viewers
or it will translate and display text in another language.

TEXT (T1, T2): The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually
fill the screen with a programming schedule or other
information.
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect
until it is changed, even if the channel is changed. If the
Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in

CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR

Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played
back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact. The
Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue (Fast
Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and Pause
modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly.

the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is
received again. If the channels are changed, the Captions
will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show
three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

Enter the SPECIAL menu and select the Closed Caption
icon.
CAPTIONS (C1,C2,CMUTE): This Closed Caption Mode
will display text on the screen in English or other
languages. Generally, Closed Captions in English are
transmitted on Captions 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Caption 2.

Most other shows provide two or three-lined Captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer
can follow the dialogue.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in
foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that
are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions,
look in your TV Guide for the Closed Captions symbo(CC).

NOTES:

• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because captions are also entered live. These transmissions do
not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may
interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Caption signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may
appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use

an outdoor antenna.

RECEPTION DISTURBANCES

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF antenna.
Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results if not using cable or a satellite. The most common types of
television interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV is connected to a Cable TV
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local cable company broadcast

IGNITION:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon
lamps, electric drills and other electric appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or other
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the
reception.

SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install an external
antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION:

A slight picture size variation is quite normal when you adjust the
CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS setting.
