IMPORTANT

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

(Continued)

• If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment,besure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the

lead~in

wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec­trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC ART 250, PART

H)

• Lighting - For added protection for this television equipment
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the
equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

• Power Lines -

An

outside antenna system should not be

located

in

the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing

an

outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might

be

fatal.

• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked
flames on the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard,

do

not expose this products

to dripping or splashing.

No

objects filled with liquids, such

as vases, should

be

placedonthe products.

PREPARATION

• Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote
control sensor window on the main unit. Objects between
the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper
operation.

Cautions regarding use of the remote control

•

Do

not expose the remote control to shock.

In

addition, do not expose the remote control to liquid, and

do not place

in

an area with high humidity.

• Do not install or place the remote control under direct
sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

• The remote control may not work properly if the remote
control sensor window of the main unit

is

under direct

sunlight or strong lighting.

In

such case, change the angle of
the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the remote control
closer to the remote control sensor window.

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install two ("AAA" size, UM/SUM-4) batteries (supplied).
When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with
new ("AAA" size, UM/SUM-4) batteries.

1 Open the battery

cover.

• Slide the cover while

pressing the

(T)

part.

2 Insert two ("AAA" size, UM/

SUM-4) batteries.

• Position the positive and
negative ends of the batteries
as indicated

in

the compart-

ment.

3 Close the battery

cover.

• Engage the clawonthe
cover into the battery
housing and slide shut.

Cautions regarding batteries

Improper use of batteries can resultinchemical leakage and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instruc-

tions below.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the

(+) and

(-)

as indicatedinthe compartment.

• Different types of batteries have different characteristics.

Do

not mix batteries of different types.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new
battery and/or cause the old battery to leak chemicals.

• Remove batteries when they become weak.
Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakageisfound, wipe with a
cloth.

• The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If the remote control will not be used for

an

extended period of time, remove the batteries from the

remote control.

PREPARATION (Continued)

~

• 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 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
adapter (not supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connectanoutdoor antenna.
A:

Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna

B:

Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas

• Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to

CABLE

TV (CATV) CONNECTION

• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75­ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.

• 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 to 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: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and

B)

is required (not supplied).

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied):

You

can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV's

channel keys.

"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied):

You

can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

descrambler by using the converter's channel keys.

• SETTING CLOSED CAPTION

This TV set 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 be viewed as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).
Not all programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the

"~"

symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT.
For each mode, two channels are available:

CH1

and CH2.
The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas
and news programs while allowing a clear view of the picture.
The TEXT mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV program
schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

• V-CHIP

• 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.

For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cable.

Only connect audio/video signals to AV-IN1 and 2 terminals. Connecting other signals may result

in

a malfunction.

AV-IN1 has 2 video input terminals: VIDEO and S-VIDEO. When you connect external devices to both terminals

(and if you select AV-IN1), you can only view pictures from the S-VIDEO terminal. To view the picture from the

VIDEO terminal, do not connect any external device to the S-VIDEO terminal.

For more information about external device connections, see the manuals of your external devices.

cause possible interference.

• Cautions regarding use

slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns normal.

•

Do

not leave the unitina hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight

or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel
