IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

■ If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, Iocation of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

■ An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Cautions regarding batteries

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.

• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new

battery and/or cause the old battery to leak chemicals.

• Remove batteries when they become weak. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the

remote control.

Using the Remote Control

■ Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window on the main unit. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding use of remote control

■ Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquid, and do not place in an area with high humidity.

■ Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

■ The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

• 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.

• If a broadcast has CLOSED CAPTION and MUTE is pressed, the set enters CAPTION mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.

• Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your set.

• If any button is pressed to call up the On-Screen Display while viewing a Closed Caption broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.

• If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become dark and blank for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to OFF.

■ 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 the 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 control.

[1] MPAA RATING

MPAA RATING (examples)

Example 1:

PG-13 in the age-based rating is blocked, this will also automatically block the higher ratings R, NC-17 and X.

Example 2:

R in the age-based rating is blocked, this will also automatically block the higher ratings NC-17 and X.

ote:

• The MPAA rating is only age-based.

RATING

G GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted. PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for children. PG-13 PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. R RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. NC-17 NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED. X X is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded in the data of older movies.:

When TV-Y7 in the age-based rating is set to BLOCK, this will automatically block the higher ratings: TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA. In addition, D, L, S, V and FV in CONTENT are automatically blocked unless you manually set BLOCK CONTENT.

Example 2:

When no item in the age-based rating is blocked, D in the content-based rating will be automatically blocked.

• Age-based ratings can be modified by the content-based ratings, but only in the combinations indicated by an X in the table above.

• Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of content rating settings.

CONNECTING WITH 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.

• Video camera

• Home video game system

External devices that can be connected to COMPONENT terminal

• PC connection is not possible.

• For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cable.

• Only connect audio/video signals to AV-IN1 and 2 terminals. Connecting other signals may result in a malfunction.

• AV-IN1 has 2 video input terminals: VIDEO and S-VIDEO. When you connect external devices to both terminals

(and if you select AV-IN1), you can only view pictures from the S-VIDEO terminal. To view the picture from the VIDEO terminal, do not connect any external device to the S-VIDEO terminal.

• For more information about external device connections, see the manuals of your external devices.

Antenna

Problem Check item

• The reception may be weak.

• The state of the broadcast may also be bad.

• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.

• Make sure the outside antenna is not disconnected.

The picture is not sharp.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued)

The picture moves.

The picture is doubled or tripled.

• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.

• There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or

buildings.

The picture is spotted.

• 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.

There are stripes on the screen or colors fade.

• Is the unit receiving interference from other devices? 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)
