Preparation

Using the remote control unit

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

Cautions regarding remote control unit

• 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 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.

Antennas

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.
NOTE
• The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time.
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).
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).
NOTICE
F-type connector
F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set.

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV station to broadcast other information, which could be audio in another language or something completely different like weather information.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts where available.
Stereo broadcasts View programs like live sporting events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
SAP broadcasts Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound. MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo). SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
If stereo sound is difficult to hear.
• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed mono-sound mode.
NOTE
• MTS only operates while in TV mode.
You can change MTS as shown below to match the television broadcast signal.

Closed caption

• Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption decoder. Closed caption is the system which allows you to view conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as subtitles on your TV.
• Not all programs and videos offer closed caption. Please look for the “N” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
• “CC1” or “CC2” displays subtitles of TV dramas and news programs while allowing a full view of the picture.
• “Text1” or “Text2” superimposes on the picture other information (e.g. TV guide, weather) that is independent of the TV in progress.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)

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 35 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.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian French ratings.
Canadian English ratings
Rating
Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming.
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.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution
• No power
• Unit cannot be operated.
• Remote control unit does not operate.
• Picture is cut off/with sidebar screen.
• Strange color, light color, or color misalignment
• Power is suddenly turned off.
• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 13.) If the indicator on the TV does not light up, press TV POWER on the remote control unit.
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 6.)
• Has the power been turned on? (See page 13.)
• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning on the power of the TV or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 7.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
• Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?
• Is the image position correct? (See page 28.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See page
31)
• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 21 to 22.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 33.)
• Check the power control settings. (See page 24.)
• The unit’s internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.
• No picture
• No sound
• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 26 to 27.)
• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 29.)
• Is the correct input selected? (See page 29.)
• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 21 to 22.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 32.)
• Is the volume too low? (See page 16.)
• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 33.)
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 Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
