Information about USA and Canadian channel numbering in the
digital era
= An ATSC channel has two part channel number:
— Major channel number
— Minor channel number
=
In most situations the major channel number is same for both analog and digital channels (It is equal to the
NTSC channel number for existing broadcasters.)
=A minor channel number of zero is used for a broadcaster’s analog channel.
For example:
Channel Numbering Example
= Original NTSC Channels for Des Moines (via antenna):
— 5, 8, 11, 13, 17
= Possible NTSC + ATSC Channels for Des Moines (via antenna):
— 5-0, 8-0, 11-0, 13-0, 17-0 (channel numbers for existing analog channels)
— 5-1, 5-2, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3,8-4, 13-1 (channel numbers for digital channels)
In Canada, ATSC digital reception areas via antenna are limited. However digital coverage via cable or satellite
is widespread (digital cable or satellite receiver required).
Channel: 5-1
Major channel number
Minor channel number

Viewing Closed Captions
The unit decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows. These captions are
usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign language translations. All VCRs record the closed caption signal
from television programs, so home-recorded video tapes also provide closed captions. Most prerecorded
commercial video tapes provide closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television
schedule and on the tape’s packaging: .
Note:
The Caption feature does not work with Component, VGA,HDMI.
Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

Parental Control
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 MPAA rating and
the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age
and content.
Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete
control.

Plasma Display panel
Troubleshooting / Care and Maintenance
Symptoms
Some parts of the screen do not light up.
After-images appear
Snapping sounds may be heard from the
display unit.
The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision
technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture
elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and
images displayed in 4:3 mode.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma Display resulting from fixed image use is not
an operating defect.
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.
This sound is produced when the cabinet expands or contracts due to variations in
temperature and is not a malfunction.
Check item
Cleaning and Maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a
cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
=
If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to
remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth, of
the same type, until the surface is dry.
=
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with
volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be
adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
=
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth dry. Use this
cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display.
=
If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
=
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the
