Note

• If you have any question about the DTV’s antenna, visit
www.antennaweb.org for further information.

• Depending on your antenna system, you may need different types
of combiners (mixers) or separators (splitters) for HD TV signal
the minimum RF bandpass on these devices is 2,000MHz or 2GHz.

• For your safety and to avoid damage to this unit, please unplug the
RF coaxial cable from the antenna input jack before moving the
unit.

• If you did use an antenna to receive analog TV, it should also
work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more
effective than a set top or inside antenna.

• To switch your reception source easily between antenna and cable,
install an antenna selector.

• If you are not receiving a signal from your cable service, contact the
Cable provider.

Note

• Closed caption will not be displayed when you are using an HDMI
connection.

• To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast signal
must contain the closed caption data.

• Not all TV programs and commercials have the closed caption or
all types of the closed caption.

• Captions and texts may not exactly match the TV voice.

• Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.

• Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed caption for
a few seconds.

• Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts may be
used in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This is not
a malfunction.

• The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the
main menu or functions display is shown.

• If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that the closed
caption is set to the text mode. To clear the box, select [CC-1],
[CC-2], [CC-3], [CC-4] or [Off].

• If the unit receives poor quality television signals, the captions may
contain errors, or there might be no captions at all. Some possible
causes of poor quality signals are:

- Automobile ignition noise

- Electric motor noise

- Weak signal reception

- Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen fl utter)

- Data dropout and Pixelation (for DTV only)

• The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power fails.

• When the unit receives special effects playback signal (e.g. Search,
Slow and Still) from a VCR’s video output channel (ch3 or ch4),
the unit may not display the correct caption or text.

FAQ

Question Answer

My remote control does not work.
What should I do?

• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.

• Check the batteries of the remote control.

• Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote control.

• Test the signal output use [IR Signal Check]

➠

p. 41

If okay, then possible infrared sensor trouble.

• Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit.

• Reduce the distance to the unit.

• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/− signs) as indicated.

• When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it may interrupt the remote
control signal of this unit.

• Move the infrared-equipped device away from this unit, change the angle of the infrared sensor or
turn off the infrared communication function.

How come the Initial setup
appears every time I turn on this
unit?

• Connect the RF coaxial cable to the unit directly and run the initial setup.

• Make sure to complete the channel scan before the unit goes into standby mode.

Why can I not watch some RF
signal TV programs.

• Make sure [Autoprogram] has been completed.

➠

p. 19

• Autoprogram must be completed when you set up the unit for the fi rst time or move it to a location
where previously unavailable channels are broadcast.

• The selected channel may not be broadcasting.

• When [Autoprogram] is interrupted and not completed, some channels will not be received. Make
sure to complete the Autoprogram.

➠

p. 19

• The selected channel cannot be viewed by the [Child Lock] setting.

➠

p. 21

• The unit requires some kind of antenna input. An indoor antenna (VHF / UHF), an external antenna
(VHF / UHF) or an RF coaxial cable from your wall cable/satellite box needs to be plugged into the
unit.

How come there is no image from
the connected external devices?

• Check if the correct input mode is selected by pressing INPUT SELECT or using CH ▲/▼.
[Switching Each Input Mode]

➠

p. 14

• Check the antenna or cable connection to the unit.

• When using the Component Video Connection check that the Green (Y), Blue (Pb/Cb) and Red (Pr/
Cr) connectors are connected to their corresponding colored jacks on the unit.

When I enter a channel number, it
changes automatically.

• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the numbers automatically to
the ones signifying the broadcasting station channel number. These basic numbers used for previous
analog broadcasts. (e.g., input ch#30 auto changes to ch#6.1)

My disc cannot be played back.
Is there any way I can play my disc?

• Clean the disc.

• Ensure the disc is correctly inser ted.

• Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc.

• Cancel the parental lock or change the control level.

• Insert a correct disc that plays back on this unit.

• Handle a disc with special care so that it does not have fi ngerprints, scratches or dusts on its surface.

Why are captions not displayed
entirely? Or, captions are delayed
behind the dialog.

• Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialog are common for live broadcasts.
Most captioning production companies can display a dialog to maximum of 220 words per minute. If
a dialog exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to date with
the current TV screen dialog.

How can I set the clock ?

• There is no clock function on this unit.

I cannot change the [Child Lock]
setting because my PIN code no
longer works.

• If a Power failure occurs for longer than 10 seconds the child lock setting is retained, but the PIN code
is set to the default code “0000”. [Child Lock]

Interface that supports all uncompressed, digital audio / video formats
including set-top box, BD / DVD recorder or digital television, over a
single cable.

HDTV

(High Definition TV)

Ultimate digital format that produces high resolution and high picture
quality.

NTSC

Acronym that stands for National Television Systems Committee and
the name of analog broadcasting standards.
Off the air NTSC signals are no longer being sent by major

SAP

(Secondary Audio Program)

Second-audio channel delivered separately from main-audio channel.
This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.

SDTV

(Standard Definition TV)

Standard digital format that is similar to the NTSC picture quality.

S-Video

Offers higher quality images by delivering each signal, color (c) and
luminance (y) independently of each other through a single cable.

Maintenance

Cabinet Cleaning

• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
unit with a soft cloth.

• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide
liquid near the unit. Such chemicals may cause damage and
discoloration to the exposed surfaces.

Panel Cleaning

Wipe the panel of the unit with a soft cloth. Before cleaning
the panel, disconnect the AC power cord.

Disc Handling

Handle the discs so that fi ngerprints and dust do not adhere
to the surfaces of the discs.

• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not
used.

• To clean-off, use a soft cloth.

• Do not use a hard cloth since this will mar the disc.

• Wipe the disc in a straight line form center to edge.

• Never wipe with a circular motion.

• Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.

Servicing

Should your unit become inoperative, do not try to correct
the problem yourself. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Call our toll free customer support line found on the
cover of this manual to locate an authorized service center.

If the Laser Optical Pickup Unit is Dirty

If the unit still does not perform properly when it is operated,
while referring to the relevant sections and to [Troubleshooting
Guide] in this manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be
dirty. Consult your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for
inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.

IR Signal Check

If the remote control is not working properly, you can use a
digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in camera)
to see if it is sending out an infrared signal.

With a digital camera
(including built-in cell phone cameras):

Point the Digital Camera towards the remote
control infrared diode at the front of the
remote control. Press any button on the
remote control and look through the camera
display. If the infrared pulsating light appears
through the camera, the remote control is
sending out an IR signal.
