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 AVC System.
NOTE
• The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time.
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).

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode
The System has a feature that allows reception of
sound other than the main audio for the program. This
feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS).
The System with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo
sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP
feature allows a TV station to broadcast other
information, which could be audio in another language
or something completely different like weather
information.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP
broadcasts where available.
• Stereo broadcasts
View programs like live sporting events, shows and
concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound.
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in
mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary
commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
If stereo sound is difficult to hear.
• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed
mono-sound mode.
NOTE
• Once “MONO” mode is selected, the sound remains mono
even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must
switch the mode back to “STEREO” if you want to hear
stereo sound again.
• Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change
the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by
the video source.
Each time you press
AUDIO, MTS toggles as
shown below.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your System. 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 Liquid Crystal Television.
“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number. (See page XX 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.

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
Rating
Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk
shows, music videos, and variety programming.
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.

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 scenes of frequent violent scenes and therefore
recommended for viewing with parent.
Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.
Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme
violence.

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Solution
• No power
• Make sure the Display and the AVC System are connected correctly. (See page
XX.)
• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page XX.)
If the indicator on the Display lights up red, press POWER on the Display.
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page XX.)
• Has the main power been turned on? (See page XX.)
• Unit cannot be operated.
• Remote control unit does not
operate.
• Picture is cut off/with sidebar
screen.
• Strange color, light color, or color
misalignment
• Power is suddenly turned off.
• No picture
• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper
operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning on the power of the
Display and the AVC System, or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in
after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Is the Mode switch set correctly? Slide it to the TV setting position.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page XX.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
• Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?
• Is the image position correct? (See pages XX and XX.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages
XX and XX)
• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages XX to XX.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the input signal setting. (See page XX.)
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page XX.)
• Check the power control settings. (See pages XX and XX.)
• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.
Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.
• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages XX to XX.)
• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page XX.)
• Is the correct input selected? (See page XX.)
• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page XX.)
• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages XX to XX.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page XX.)
• No sound
• Is the volume too low? (See page XX.)
• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page XX.)
• Is correct speaker output (“Speaker-A” or “Speaker-B”) selected in “Speaker”?
(See pages XX and XX.)
• Is “On” selected in “Center Channel Input”? (See page XX.)
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly
delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a 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 Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
