Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on some TV programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the discretion of the service provider). It is a more ﬂ exible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other language codes.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. Please look for the “N” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identiﬁ ed by its own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture.

In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2” services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.

Press CC.

• This will present the Closed Caption information display.

Press CC while the Closed Caption information is still on the screen.

• Press repeatedly until you select the desired Closed Caption service.

Air ANALOG

Audio : MONO

CC : 1/2 CC1

• Depending on the number of caption services in the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.

1/2 means “the ﬁ rst of two services”. Example: If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG),

CC1 and Text1), the Closed Caption display will toggle in this sequence:

1/3 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 OFF

• The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory.

If the last Closed Caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG)

you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the Closed Caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appears in parentheses, e.g. “1/3(CC1)”. Closed Caption services that appear in parentheses will not be stored in the CC button's memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are stored.

Examples:

In a case where there are two Closed Caption services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the other Closed Caption service, CC1, will be displayed in parentheses. A Closed Caption service appears in parentheses because the service you selected is not available and a different service is displayed on your screen. “1/1(CC1)” is displayed instead of “1/2/ENG”.

Closed Caption information

NOTE

• See page 44 for detailed closed caption settings.

• When the program contains no Closed Caption, “--” displays in the closed caption information.

• If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital TV programs, “--” will be shown.

• Four kinds of Closed Caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1, Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain none or only some of these services at the discretion of the program provider.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)

V-CHIP is an electronic ﬁ ltering 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 ﬁ rst conﬁ gure your secret number. (See page 45 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.

Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conﬂ ict; 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.

Troubleshooting

Problem

• 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.

Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 14.) If the indicator on the TV does not light up, press POWER on the TV.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 7.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 14.)

• External inﬂ uences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after ﬁ rst 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 8.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

• Are you using it under strong or ﬂ uorescent lighting?

• Is a ﬂ uorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See page 33.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 38 to 39.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 24 to 25.)

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

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 36.)

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 42.)

• Check the power control settings. (See page 27.)

• 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 30 to 32.)

• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 36.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 36.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 24 to 25.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 41.)

• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 57.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 17.)

• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 41.)

• Have you pressed MUTE on the remote control unit? (See page 17.)

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, ofﬁ ce), 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: f4°F to e140°F (f20°C to e60°C)
