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. Ifyour 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.

_1.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type _'

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

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 (Commercially available).

..... 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

• J

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 isin
use, it will 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 "CC2" services display
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the
program's picture.

In the Closed Caption system, the "Text1" or "Text2"

Q- 44

Useful adjustment settings

V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. 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 TV.

"V-Chip" and "Status" will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number. (See page 43 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 inconjunction 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.

Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA)

General audiences. All ages admitted.

Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.

Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Age

Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian (age varies in some

jurisdictions).

NC-1 7 No one 17 and under admitted.

X X is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded in the data of older movies.

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.

Canadian English ratings

E Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows,

music videos, and variety programming.

C 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.

C8 + 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.

Age G General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family,

contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

PG 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.

14 ÷ 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.

18 ÷ 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.

Canadian French ratings

E Exempt programming.

G General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but may be integrated into the

plot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.

8ans ÷ 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

Age situations. Recommended for viewing with parent.

13ans ÷ Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended for

viewing with parent.

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

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