Q-11

Preparation

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

co

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 _P__J -

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.

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).

F-type connector

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)

_ F-type connector should be finger=

tightened only.

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not

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 "[_" 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.

Ii

Press CC.

This will present the Closed Caption information
display.

Press CC while the Closed Caption
information is still on the screen.

Pressrepeatedlyuntilyou selectthe desired
closed caption service.

Closed Caption

information

Depending on the number of caption services
in the signal being received, you will see
information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means "the first of two services".
Example:
If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG),
CC1 and Text1), the closed caption display will
toggle in this sequence:

The CC button keeps a record of the last service
selected in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG)
you selected is not available for the next
program, or on another channel, the closed
caption service that is available is automatically
selected, and this service appears in
parentheses, e.g. "1/3(CC1)".
Closed Caption services that appear in
parentheses will net be stored in the CC
button's memory as your last selected service.
Only services that you have selected with the
CC button are stored.

Examples:

In a case where there are two closed caption
services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG)
and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed
as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is

not broadcast for the next program, the other

closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in

parentheses.
A closed caption service appears in parentheses

because the service you selected is not available
and a different service is displayed on your screen.

"1/1(CC1)" is displayed instead of "I/2/ENG".

See page 39 for detailed closed caption settings.

When the program contains no closed caption, "--"

displays in the closed caption information.
Ifthe language code, e.g. "ENG", is not found on Digital TV
programs, "--" will be shown.

• Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1,
Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain

none or only some of these services at the discretion of the
program provider.

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 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.

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.
