iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna is connected to tile television equipment, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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.

Preparation

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

Do not expose the remote control unit to shock, in addition, do not expose the remote

control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.

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

deformation of the remote control unit.
The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is

under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or

the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,

plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.

connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (Commercially available).

Your TV isequipped with an internal Closed Caption
decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration
and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed
Captions are available on some TV programs and on
some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the
program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service
available only on digital TV programs (also at the
discretion of the service provider). It is a more flexible
system than the original Closed Caption system,
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in
use, itwill be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter
abbreviation that also indicates the language of the
Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),
FRA (French) or other language codes.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captions. Please look for the "[_]" symbol to ensure
that captions will be shown.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its
own number. The "CC1" and "002" services display
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the
program's picture.

In the Closed Caption system, the "Text1" or "Text2"
services display text that is unrelated to the program
being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services
are also superimposed over the program currently
being viewed.

is displayed as your current selection, if
Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next
program, the other closed caption service,

V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your W. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over
broadcasts accessed by their children, it allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while
blocking ones judged not suitable, it does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your W.
"V-Chip" and "Status" will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number. (See page 48 for Secret number setting for parental control.)

• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.

• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate
television shows from their children.

• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as
watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.
