Before Operating Your Television

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.

Power

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

Note:

• If the set is not going to be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received due to interference from the TV.

Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

•

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Inserting the batteries

Pull up

Battery Cover

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the battery cover. Insert two batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery m/, terminals with the m/, marks inside the compartment.

Antenna Connections

Antennas

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems:

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with

F-type connector

F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to an outdoor antenna. A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna. B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of the TV set.

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

75-ohm coaxial cable

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

• A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.

• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

Closed Caption

How to set CLOSED CAPTION

•

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed Caption” is a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos to appear as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).

• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

• Closed Caption broadcast for Analog Channel can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2. Closed Caption broadcast for Digital Channel can be viewed in 10 modes (maximum). The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture. The TEXT mode displays over the picture other various information (such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)

H V-CHIP

• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may be harmful.

• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and contents.

• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for complete control.

[3] Canadian Rating Systems

• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.

• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.

• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian French ratings.

[i] Canadian English ratings

Rating Description

C8 +

Age PG

14 +

18 +

Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.

Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on the screen.

General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.

Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme.

Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence, which while related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity.

[ii] Canadian French ratings

Rating Description

8ans +

Age

13ans +

16ans + Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.

18ans +

General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but may be integrated into the plot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.

General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public audience, but could contain scenes disturbing to children under 8 who cannot distinguish between imaginary and real situations. Recommended for viewing with parent.

Over 13 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended for viewing with parent.

Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme violence.

“Identifying” VCRs, cable TV converters and

•

DVDs

Your Remote Control has been set at the factory to operate your TV and many remote controlled VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs. However, in some cases an easy onetime set-up step may be necessary before the Remote will operate accessory VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and memorizes the remote control transmitter code for the VCR, cable TV converters and DVDs.

• Once “identified”, the Remote sends proper signals to operate your accessory.

• This identifying step will not have to be repeated until power to the Remote is interrupted due to a battery failure.

Using your remote control with a VCR

•

Once you make certain the Remote Control has “identified” your remote controlled VCR or DVD, the Remote is ready to operate your unit. The various VCR or DVD function buttons on the Remote will not operate your VCR or DVD if those features are not already found on your unit.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the Remote is in TV or VCR modes.

• For detailed information on the use of the VCR or DVD, refer to the operation manual of the VCR or DVD.
