Closed Captions and Digital Closed
Captions

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.

1 Press CC.

This will present the Closed Caption information

display.

2 Press CC while the Closed Caption information is still on

the screen.

Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed

caption service.

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. 1/3 ENG) 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
not 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.

ENG 3-12

Direct Button Operation

Closed Captions and Digital Closed
Captions (Continue)

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 "1/2/ENG".

NOTE

When "Power Saving" is set to "Standard" or "Advanced",
the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel
information window.
See page 4-27 for details of Power Saving settings.
See page 4-30 for detailed closed caption settings.
When the program contains no closed caption, "--"
displays in the closed caption information.
If the 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.
When a web page is displayed, Closed Captions are not
available.

V-Chip

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.

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.

NOTE

The setting automatically enters "Block" for any ratings
below your selection.
If Status is not set to "On", the configuration settings will

adult guardian (age varies in some jurisdictions).

NC-17: No one 17 and under admitted.
X: X is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings

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.

USB memory device or SD memory card.

Pre-Installed: The images pre-installed in the TV will be

displayed in a slideshow.

SD/SDHC/USB: Your favorite images stored for the

If only a single still image is stored in the USB memory
device or SD memory card, that image will be displayed
as the wallpaper. When there are multiple still images in
the memory, all the images will be displayed in a
slideshow.

NOTE

Images are displayed in 3-minute intervals as a
slideshow.
When the TV is in Wallpaper mode, you can turn off the
TV by pressing and holding POWER on the TV for 5

card is opened), and store into the folder the still images
you want to display for the wallpaper.

You must insert the USB memory device or SD memory

card to the TV before turning off the TV.

Using the Internet

Connecting to the Internet

By connecting your TV to a broadband system, you can access the Internet from the TV.

You can enjoy a variety of streaming content and Internet applications.

(See pages 8- 11 to 8-13.)

NOTE

To connect your TV to the Internet, you must have a broadband Internet connection.
If you do not have a broadband Internet connection, consult the store where you purchased your

TV or ask your Internet service provider or telephone company.

When an Internet connection is made, an Ethernet and wireless connection cannot be used at

the same time. Use only one of the connection types.

Using an ETHERNET cable

Use an ETHERNET cable (commercially available) to connect the ETHERNET terminal on the TV
to your broadband router (commercially available).

Using the wireless LAN

This TV is equipped with a wireless LAN function.
For a wireless LAN connection, you must use "Wireless Setup" to connect the access point and
TV.

NOTE

This TV has a built- in wireless LAN function. Using a separate wireless USB LAN adapter may

result in radio communications that do not comply with regulations on radio communications.
Therefore, do not use a separate wireless LAN adapter.

A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot be guaranteed for all residential

environments. In the following cases, the wireless LAN signal may be poor or drop, or the
connection speed may become slower.

- When used in buildings made with concrete, reinforced steel, or metal

- When placed near objects that obstruct the signal

- When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency

- When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emit a magnetic field,
electrostatic charge, or electromagnetic interference

When there is significant interference in the 2.4 -GHz frequency (such as from other wireless

LAN devices, Bluetooth® devices, 2.4-GHz cordless telephones, and microwave ovens), it is
recommended that you use a wireless LAN router/access point that supports IEEE802.11a/n (5
GHz) and set the access point to transmit at 5 GHz. For setup details, see the operation
manual of your access point.
