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

F-type connector

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)

Cable TV/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 TV.

• The connection type will determine whether to select “Air” or “Cable” for both ANALOG-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.

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.

Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK

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.

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 “Active” in the “Standby Mode” option in “i.LINK Setup”. (See Page 58.)

• Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in the diagram.

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.)

• When using the i.LINK, do not turn off the power of, or pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if those i.LINK devices are not in use. This may affect the picture and the sound from a D-VHS deck in use.

• If devices such as 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.

Page 59

Using external equipment

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 set this Mode to “Pass thru” 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 “Pass thru”.

Press MENU and the MENU screen displays.

Press c/d to select “Digital Setup”.

Press a/b to select “i.LINK Setup”, and then press ENTER.

Press a/b to select “Recording Mode”, and then press ENTER.

Press c/d to select “Auto” or “Pass thru”, and then press ENTER.

• Normally, this should be set to “Pass thru”.

Setting the Standby Mode (i.LINK)

• Power consumption during standby mode can be minimized by changing the setting of the “Standby Mode” in “i.LINK Setup”.

• When i.LINK is not in use, select “Inactive” in “Standby Mode”.

“Active”: Power continues to pass through the i.LINK circuit so data can be relayed. “Inactive”: Power consumption is minimized during standby mode. Data cannot be relayed at this setting.

• When the main power of the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off), i.LINK control commands cannot be received from a D-VHS deck. This does not change even if the “Standby Mode” is set to “Active”. To control the TV from a D-VHS deck, turn the TV power on (POWER indicator lights up in blue).

• Data cannot be relayed between i.LINK devices when all the following conditions are met: 1) More than one i.LINK device is connected to the TV with i.LINK cables, 2) “Standby Mode” is set to “Inactive”, and 3) The power of the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off). When the TV is connected between two i.LINK devices in series, select “Active” in “Standby Mode” or connect the TV at an end of the series as shown in the diagram.

Press MENU and the MENU screen displays.

Press c/d to select “Digital Setup”.

Press a/b to select “i.LINK Setup”, and then press ENTER.

Press a/b to select “Standby Mode”, and then press ENTER.

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 78 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.

Notice

■ When you change your address

• If you change your address, please return the CableCARD to your Cable Provider Company.

• You will need to request a new CableCARD from the cable provider at your new location.

■ About EAS(Emergency Alert System)

• In the case of a national emergency, natural disaster, or other emergency situation, Cable MSO will broadcast an Emergency Alert System Message (EAS message). When this unit receives an EAS message, if the level of emergency is comparatively low, an alert text message will be displayed on screen. If the level of emergency is high, the receiver will be force tuned to a details channel.

• Alert text messages will be displayed, and force tuning will occur, even during paid programming. Even when force tuning is active, the user can still change the channel.

• If the unit is force tuned to a channel that has been blocked by Parental Control, the Parental Control setting will be given priority.

NOTE

• If you have a digital cable antenna connected, you can receive EAS messages whether CableCARD is inserted or not.

• EAS messages may be broadcast not only via digital cable, but also via Analog Cable (ANALOG-A) or overthe-air Analog transmission (ANALOG-B).

• When force tuning occurs, Video output from the MONITOR OUTPUT terminal will also be switched to the details channel.

• An alert text message does not output from MONITOR OUTPUT terminal.

• If force tuning occurs during twin picture mode, twin picture display will be automatically terminated and the details channel will be displayed on the full screen.
