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 (Motion Picture Association of America) 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.

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 programing.

• 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.

Description

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.

CLOSED CAPTION

■ Setting CLOSED CAPTION

• This LCD 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.

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