• Since the unit is rather heavy, be careful while mounting.

• To reduce risk of fire, do not place any heating or cooking

appliance beneath the unit, especially while the LCD screen is open.

• Mount the unit so that its AC adapter can be plugged directly

to a wall outlet.

• Do not use a converter or extension cord.

Cut the template and place inside the cabinet with the template border marked “FRONT” along the front edge of the cabinet, then use adhesive tape to fix the template. Drill four 1/4” diameter holes as shown on the template. Remove template when finished.

Install the unit as far as possible from a source of noise; i.e.,

• a refrigerator, microwave oven, fluorescent lamp, etc.

• Please allow ample space on each side for the speakers.

• Keep unit away when drilling to avoid getting wood shavings in the ventilation holes.

• Drill from bottom up if there is not enough room in the cabinet.

Measure the height of the cabinet bottom and overhang. If the cabinet bottom is 1” thick, then the spacers are not necessary, use screws only as shown.

If the cabinet bottom is 3/4” thick, then use the spacers turned upwards as shown.

If the cabinet bottom is 3/8” to 1/2” thick, then use the spacers turned downwards as shown.

With a screwdriver (not an electric screwdriver or drill), fasten the four screws into the spacer holder holes (or fasten the screw to your set if spacers were not needed). Start screwing at two opposite corners of the unit for better support.

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.

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

ANALOG CAPTIONS

Please see the next page for setting the Analog Caption. CC1: This Closed Caption mode will display text on the

screen in English or another language. Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Captions 1.

CC2-4 These Closed Caption modes will display text on the screen in English or another language. Generally, Closed Captions in another language is transmitted on these channels.

TEXT: The Text Closed Caption Modes will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information. Select T1, T2, T3 or T4.

DIGITAL CAPTIONS

Please see the next page for setting the Digital Caption. SERVICE 1-6 : These Closed Caption modes will display text

n the screen in English or another language. Generally,

o Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Service 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Service 2 through 6.

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 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. 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 symbol (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 during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as Mute, may not be seen or may interfere with

Closed Captions.

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

FAQs:

When I press the MUTE button, the captions do not appear, is this normal?

Yes, this is normal for this unit. Once the display information disappears, the captions will continue.

I entered the Captions mode, but no captions are appearing, why?

If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption mode.

Why is there a big black box on the screen?

Because you are in a Captions mode. Turn the captions off, or select a different Captions mode.
