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 AVC System.
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 TV converter/VCR connection
• Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected.
• Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your System.
• The connection type will determine whether to select “Air” or “Cable” for both ANT-A and B when configuring “Air/Cable”
settings.

Connecting D-VHS Decks (i.LINK
connection)
About i.LINK
i.LINK is an interface connection using a serial
transfer system and is able to transfer multimedia
data, such as digital images and digital sound,
between devices that have i.LINK terminals.
i.LINK is a term defined in the IEEE 1394 (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standard.
Currently, the transfer speeds are at 100 Mbps, 200
Mbps and 400 Mbps, each of them expressed as
S100, S200 and S400 respectively. On this TV, the
maximum speed is 400 Mbps.
i. LINK devices that can be connected to this
TV.
Only D-VHS decks can be connected to this TV.
Other devices such as DVD recorders, digital video
cameras, computers or computer peripheral devices
do not meet the specifications for this TV and
therefore, cannot be connected.
Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK
Connecting two or more D-VHS decks
Up to 16 D-VHS decks can be connected using a
daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.
When 3 or more D-VHS decks are connected,
branch connection can be used. With branch
connections, up to 62 D-VHS decks can be
connected.
Only digital programs can be recorded by D-VHS
decks connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK
recording is not compatible with ground-wave
broadcasts or external input signals (INPUT
terminals 1 through 5).
i.LINK connection
E.g. When only one D-VHS deck is connected:
NOTE
• Please make sure the
shapes of the terminal
and the plug match,
and insert the plug into
the terminal straight,
not on an angle.
• Use either one of the
terminals. These two
terminals do not differ in
quality or function.
D-VHS deck
Only an i.LINK cable is needed
to connect the TV and the D-VHS
deck. (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and
AUDIO terminals need not be
connected.)
Cautions regarding i.LINK connection
• Please use S400 type i.LINK cables.
• Some i.LINK devices may not relay data if their power
is off. This TV can relay data during power off, by
selecting “Yes” in the “Stand-by Mode” option in
“i.LINK setup”. (See Page 57.)
• Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in
the diagram.
• When using the i.LINK, do not turn off the power of,
or pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if that
i.LINK devices is not in use. This may affect the
picture and the sound from a D-VHS deck in use.
• If devices such as a DVD recorders, digital video
cameras, computers and computer peripheral
devices which are not compatible with this TV, are
connected to the TV using i.LINK, other i.LINK
connections may be disrupted.

Setting the recording mode (i.LINK)
• The function for automatically adjusting the recording
mode of connected D-VHS decks can be turned on
or off.
• Since most of the currently available D-VHS decks
automatically recognize the transfer rates of the
pictures and sound being recorded and control the
recording mode accordingly, you should always setthis Mode to “No” in normal circumstances.
• Depending on the D-VHS deck used and the type of
broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust
the recording mode properly. In this case, please
set the “Recording Mode” to “No”.

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
Liquid Crystal Television.
“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number. (See page 77 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.

imaginary and real situations. Recommended for viewing with parent.
Over 13 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended for
viewing with parent.
Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.
Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme
violence.

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?
• Is the image position correct? (See page 62.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages
68 and 69)
• 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 31 to 34.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 66.)
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 71.)
• Check the power control settings. (See page 36.)

contact your cable company.
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)
