PREPARATION (Continued)

Antenna Connection

ANTENNAS

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type

F-type connector

connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).

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 (not supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna. A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas

• Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to ANT. (Antenna terminal) on the rear of the TV set.

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.

• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.

Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s

channel keys.

“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

descrambler by using the converter’s channel keys.

Adjusting CLOSED CAPTION Settings

■ SETTING CLOSED CAPTION

• This TV set is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed Caption” is

a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos to be viewed as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).

• Not all programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

• The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available: CH1 and CH2. The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas and news programs while allowing a clear view of the picture. The TEXT mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV program schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

Adjusting V-CHIP Settings

■ V-CHIP

• This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents

children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.

• Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and

the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and content.

• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete

CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES

You can enjoy picture and sound by connecting a VCR or a home video game system to the terminals located on the rear of the TV set. When connecting an external device, turn off the power of the main unit first to prevent any possible damage.

Example of external devices that can be connected

To AV-IN2 terminal

• VCR

• Laser disc player

To COMPONENT terminal

• DVD Player, etc. Playback from 480 progressive output for DVD and DTV is available.

To AV-IN1 terminal

• The reception may be weak.

• The quality of the broadcast may also be bad.

The picture is not sharp.

The picture moves.

The picture is doubled or tripled.

The picture is spotted.

• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.

• Make sure the outside antenna is connected.

• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.

• There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or

buildings.

• There may be interference from automobiles, trains, high voltage lines, neon lights, etc.

• There may be interference between the antenna cable and AC cord. Try positioning them further apart.

• Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?

There are stripes on the screen or colors fade.

Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations, transmission antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interference.

• Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause possible interference.

■ 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 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 LCD panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
