', Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- Ifall outside antenrla 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.

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 is equipped 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, 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 "r_]" 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"
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

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 seleotable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number. (See page 40 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.

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 ratine is

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

storyiine, 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.

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

:)lot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.

Sans + 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.

13arts + Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended for

viewing with parent.

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