PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF HELLO KITTY
We have taken great care to make sure that your Digital Television was in perfect working order when it left our factory. It has been designed to give you many years of enjoyment and trouble free operation. Read this manual before operating this unit to become familiar with its features and obtain the performance that will bring you continued enjoyment for many years.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its back. You should note the serial number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.
Model Number: KT2219MBY Serial Number: _______________________
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the item you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)R and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without damaging your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
Set your volume control to the lowest level where you can hear the music
comfortably and clearly. Once the volume is set, leave it there. Prolonged exposure to anything over 85 decibels can cause gradual hearing loss.
See if your music player has a volume limiter that allows you to set a safe
listening level by establishing a maximum volume level on your player. This is a great solution for parents to ensure their children listen at a safe level.
Limit listening time to give your hearing “quiet breaks.”
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WHEN WEARING YOUR HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS:
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear sounds around you.Do not use headphones or earbuds while operating a motorized vehicle; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.

children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V). TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) - Contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14. 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. This program contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V). TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) - Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The program contains one or more of the following content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or moderate violence (V). TV-G (General Audience) - Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains little or no sexual dialogue (D) or situations (S), no strong language (L), and little or no violence (V). TV-Y7 (Directed to Children 7 years and older) - Designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7. TV-Y (All Children) - Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including children ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.
Canadian English V-Chip TV Rating System:
18+ (Adult) - Programming intended for adults 18 and older. It may contain elements of violence, language, and
sexual content which could make it unsuitable for viewers under 18. Violence Guidelines: May contain violence integral to the development of the plot, character or theme, intended for adult audiences. Other Content Guidelines: May contain graphic language and explicit portrayals of nudity and/or sex. 14+ (Viewer 14 and over) - Programming contains themes or content which may 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. Violence Guidelines: May contain intense scenes of violence. Could deal with mature themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion. Other Content Guidelines: May contain scenes of nudity and/or sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profanity. PG (Parental Guidance) - Programming intended for a general audience but which may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8). Parents may consider some content inappropriate for unsupervised viewing by children aged 8-13. Violence Guidelines: Depictions of conflict and/or aggression will be limited and moderate; may include physical, fantasy, or supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines: May contain infrequent mild profanity, or mildly suggestive language Could also contain brief scenes of nudity. G (General Audience) - Programming considered acceptable for all ages groups. While not designed specifically for children, it is understood younger viewers may be part of the audience. Violence Guidelines: Will contain very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the effects of violent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some inoffensive slang, no profanity and no nudity. C8+ (Children 8 and older) - Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over to watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict or encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual content. C (Children) - Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines: Careful attention is paid to themes which could threaten children’s sense of security and well being. There will be no realistic scenes of violence. Depictions of aggressive behavior will be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary, comedic or unrealistic in nature. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language, nudity or sexual content.
Canadian French V-Chip TV Rating System:
18+ (Adult) - Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent
scenes.
32
Page 34
16+ (Viewer 16 and over) - Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes. 13+ (Viewer 13 and over) - Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This 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+ (Viewer 8 and over) - Not recommended for young children. This 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) - This 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.
MPAA US MOVIE RATING EXPLANATIONS
G — General Audiences. All Ages Admitted. A G-rated
motion picture contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that, in the view of the Rating Board, would offend parents whose younger children view the motion picture. The G rating is not a "certificate of approval," nor does it signify a "children’s" motion picture. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated motion pictures. Depictions of violence are minimal. No nudity, sex scenes or drug use are present in the motion picture.
PG — Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May
Not Be Suitable For Children. A PG-rated motion picture should be investigated by parents before they let their
younger children attend. The PG rating indicates, in the view of the Rating Board, that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated motion pictures may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated motion picture.
PG-13 — Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May
Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to
determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.
R — Restricted. Children Under 17 Require
Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian. An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains
33
Page 35
some adult material. An R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures.
NC-17 — No One 17 and Under Admitted. An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean "obscene" or "pornographic" in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience. An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children
X – Matured Audience Only. (non MPAA rating) Only adults are allowed to watch these motion pictures.
GLOSSARY
Aspect Ratio
The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set, the aspect ratio is 4 to 3 (4:3). The new aspect ratio in HDTV is 16:9 which resembles the aspect ratio in a movie theatre (Widescreen). New TV systems support both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio and can automatically switch between them.
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee)
Formed to establish technical standards for advanced television systems, including digital high definition television (HDTV).
Audio/Video (A/V)
A term often used when discussing a channel on a TV receiver or on video equipment, which has been especially designed to accept audio-video signals. This channel automatically activates special circuitry within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video processors, which handle both types of signals.
Component Video Input (Y Pb Pr)
Component Video Input is a type of connection that uses a cinch-type connector to allow set top boxes or analog DVD players to connect a signal to the TV. By offering the cinch-type input (Y Pb Pr) the primary colors, red, green and blue are connected from a cable box directly into the TV allowing for the signal to display on the screen.
CVBS (Composite Video Baseband Signal)
In broadcast television this refers to the video signal, including the color information and syncs.
Digital Tuner
A digital tuner serves as the decoder required to receive and display digital broadcasts. It can be included inside TV sets or via a cable box.
DOLBY Digital
The system developed by Dolby Laboratories to compress digital sound. It offers stereo sound (2 channel) or multi-channel audio (the six-channel digital audio standard that is part of the U.S. digital television standard; also called AC-3 or Digital 5.1). The channels consist of front left, front right, front center, surround or rear left, surround or rear right, and a separate subwoofer.
DTV (Digital television)
Generic term that refers to all digital television formats, including high-definition television (HDTV) and standard­definition television (SDTV).
34
Page 36
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
Interface that supports all uncompressed, digital audio / video formats including a cable box, Blu-ray / DVD recorder or digital television, over a single cable.
HDTV
The generally agreed upon definition of HDTV is approximately twice the vertical and horizontal picture resolution of today’s NTSC TV, which essentially makes the picture twice as sharp. HDTV also has a screen ratio of 16:9 as compared with most of today’s TV screens, which have a screen ratio of 4:3. HDTV offers reduced motion artifacts (i.e. ghosting, dot crawl), and offers 5.1 independent channels of CD-quality stereo surround sound, (also referred to as AC-3).
NTSC (National Television System Committee)
The organization that developed the analog television standard currently in use in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. Now generally used to refer to that standard. The NTSC standard combines blue, red, and green signals modulated as an AM signal with an FM signal for audio.
Progressive Scan
In Progressive Scanning all the horizontal scan lines are scanned on to the screen at one time. The Digital TV and HDTV Standards accept both Interlaced Scan and Progressive Scan broadcast and display methods.
Resolution
A measurement of the finest (smallest) detail that is visible in a video image. TV resolution may be expressed as number of pixels in an image, or more commonly, as total number of horizontally scanned lines used to create the image. Standard Digital TV Resolutions: SDTV - 480i - The picture is 704x480 pixels, 480p - The picture is 704x480 pixels. HDTV - 720p - The picture is 1280x720 pixels 1080i - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels with interlaced scanning. 1080p - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels with progressive scanning.
SAP (Secondary Audio Program)
Second-audio channel delivered separately from main-audio channel. This audio channel is used as an alternate in bilingual broadcasting.
SPDIF (Digital Audio format)
SPDIF (Sony and Philips Digital Interconnect Format) is highly recommended for high quality digital sound output.
