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.

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).

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 (Commercially available).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

F-type connector

Cable converter/VCR connection

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 65 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.

• When playing back video in card mode, a part of the image is missing or the image is out of position.

• Strange color, light color, or color misalignment

• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 18.) If the indicator on the Display lights up red, press TV POWER on the remote control unit.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 8.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 18.)

• 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 Display 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 11.)

• 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 51.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 57 and 58)

• The video playback setting has been affected as a result of moving the image position when playing back a still image in card mode. It is recommended not to move the image position when playing back images from a card.

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 28 to 31.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 59.)

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• No picture

• No sound

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 60.)

• Check the power control settings. (See page 33.)

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 46 to 50.)

• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 55.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 55.)

• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 79.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 28 to 31.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 59.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 21.)

• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 60.)

• Is “On” selected in “Center Channel Input”? (See page 72.)

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)
