improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However,
improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following
instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of
your Liquid Crystal Television, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

• Read instructions —All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

• Keep this manual in a safe place —These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for

future reference.

• Observe warnings —All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

• Follow instructions —All operating instructions must be followed.

• Attachments —Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments

can result in accidents.

• Power source —This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For units
designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.

• AC cord protection —The AC cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects
from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.

• Overloading —Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

• Entering of objects and liquids —Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage
flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same
reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

• Servicing —Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage
and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

• Repair —If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a
qualified service person to perform repairs.
a.When the AC cord or plug is damaged.
b.When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d.When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work

by a qualified technician.
e.When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the

product needs servicing.

• Replacement parts —In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the
original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

• Safety checks —Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

• Wall or ceiling mounting —When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product
according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

• Polarization —The product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before installing the speakers.

3

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp
cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen
sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

• Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the
product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal
injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on
a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware
recommended by the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• 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.

• For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due
to lightning and power-line surges.

• 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.

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The System 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 System 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.

A

• Once “MONO” mode is selected, the sound remains mono even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must
switch the mode back to “STEREO” if you want to hear stereo sound again.

• Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by the video
source.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)

V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your System. 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 58 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 chose 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.

General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public audience, but
could contain scenes disturbing to children under eight who cannot distinguish between
imaginary and real situations. Recommended for viewing with parent.

Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of 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.

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

• Make sure the Display and the AVC System are connected correctly. (See page

8.)

• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 16.)
If the indicator on the Display lights up red, press TV POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 15.)

• Has the main power been turned on? (See page 16.)

• 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 and the AVC System, or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in
after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Is the Mode switch set correctly? Slide it to the TV setting position.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 9.)

• 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 pages 24 and 45.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See page

49)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 29 to 33.)

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

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 47.)

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• No picture

• No sound

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 52.)

• Check the power control settings? (See pages 35 to 37.)

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

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 38 to 43.)

• Has setup been done correctly after connection? (See page 47.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 47.)

• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 71.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 29 to 33.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 19.)

• Is “Variable” selected in “Audio Out”? (See page 52.)

Use in hot and cold rooms (locations)

• When the unit is used in a low-temperature room locaiton, 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:
f20°C to e60°C)
