Preparation

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.

• 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.

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.

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).

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.

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 a second language, supplementary
commentary or 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.

* MTS only operates while in TV mode.

Useful adjustment settings

Tune the TV to the desired program.

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

flexible system than the original Closed Caption

system, because it allows 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 "_" symbol to ensure

that captions will be shown.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more

than one caption service provided. Each is identified

by its own number. The "C1" and "C2" services
display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over

the program's picture. Generally, Closed Captions in

English are transmitted on Cl and Closed Captions in

other languages are transmitted on C2.

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.

When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.

If no caption signal is received, no captions wilt appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These
transmissions do not allow time for editing.
When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with
Closed Captions.
Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with

strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

Useful adjustment settings

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 SET menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your password.

(See page 32 for password setting for parental control,)

• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: movie ratings and TV Parental Guidelines.

• 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,

• 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

E 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

C

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

C8+ 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,

G

contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

Age

Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children

PG

(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

14+ storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be

3rofane and nudity present within the context of the theme.

Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence, which

18+ 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.

Canadian French ratings

E Exempt programming.

General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but may be integrated into the

G 3lot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.

General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public audience, but could

8ans+ contain scenes disturbing to children under 8 who cannot distinguish between imaginary and real

Age situations. Recommended for viewing with parent.

13ans÷ Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended for

viewing with parent.

16ans+ 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

18ans+ violence.
