IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
THE ISSUE
•
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger fl at panel
displays are popular purchases. However, fl at panel displays are not always supported
on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
•
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves,
desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!
•
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable
and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
One size does NOT fi t all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe
•
installation and use of your fl at panel display.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
•
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
•
Don’t place fl at panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as
•
a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially
•
on a “larger than life” fl at panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the
display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
•
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the fl at panel
display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT
PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
•
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed
by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
•
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
•
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your fl at panel display,
contact your retailer about professional installation.
•
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some
wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder
block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
•
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be
heavy.

Preparation
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 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 fl at “twin-lead” cable that can be attached
to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially
available).
NOTICE
F-type connector should be fi nger-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 breaking
of internal circuit, etc.)

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 DTVCC.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than

own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the
program's picture.
In the Closed Caption system, the “T1 (TEXT1)” or “T2

program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These
services are also superimposed over the program

The CC button keeps a record of the last service
selected in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/5 DTVCC) you

available is automatically selected.
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, DTVCC and CC1),

V-Chip
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.
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.
The setting automatically enters "Block" for any ratings
•
below your selection.
If Status is not set to "On", the confi guration settings will

not work.
As a precautionary measure, make a note of your secret
•
number and keep it in a familiar place.
If the secret number is cleared, the Status setting
•
automatically sets to "Off". "V-Chip" and "Status" will not be
selectable from the menu.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
• No power• 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.)
• Unit cannot be operated.• External infl uences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operation.
• 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.• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 15.)
• No picture• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 12 and 13.)
• No sound• Is the volume too low? (See page 15.)
In this case, operate the unit after fi rst turning off 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 25.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See page 18.)
• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 21 and 22.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 24.)
• Check the power control settings. (See page 23.)
• The unit's internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or
clean.
• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 29.)
• Is the correct input selected? (See page 29.)
• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 21 and 22.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 29.)
• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 42.)
• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 29.)
• Have you pressed MUTE on the remote control unit? (See page 15.)
• The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.
• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and
contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV's
performance.
Troubleshooting-Digital Broadcasting
The error message about reception of broadcast
The example of an error message
displayed on a screen
• Failed to receive broadcast.• Check the antenna cable. Check that the antenna is correctly setup.
• No broadcast now.• Check the broadcast time in the program guide.
Possible Solution
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.
