Preparation

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the r emote control sensor on the TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding remote control unit

• 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.

Antennas

T o enjoy a clearer pictur e, 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).

NOTICE

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.

Connecting D-VHS decks/AV-HDD recorder/Blu-ray Disc recorder (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 IEEE1394 (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, AV-HDD recorders and Blu-ray Disc recorders can be connected to this TV via i.LINK. 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 via i.LINK. Even for the types of i.LINK device mentioned above, device recognition, control, recording and playback operations may not be possible on some devices.

Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK

Only digital programs can be recorded by i.LINK devices connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK recording is not compatible with analog broadcasts or external input signals (INPUT terminals 1 through

5).

Connecting two or more i.LINK devices

Up to 16 i.LINK devices can be connected using a daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.

When 3 or more i.LINK devices are connected, branch connection can be used. With branch connections, up to 62 i.LINK devices can be connected.

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. In this case the device should be connected at the end of any series of connections.

• This TV can relay data during power off, by selecting “Active” in the “Standby Mode” option in “i.LINK Setup”. (See page 53.)

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

i.LINK connection

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.

i.LINK device

Only an i.LINK cable is needed to connect the TV to i.LINK devices. (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 that i.LINK devices is not in use. This may affect the picture and the sound from an i.LINK device in use.

• If devices such as a 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.

• When device recognition, control, recording or play back, on an i.LINK connected device does not function correctly , correct operation may be r estored by disconnecting and reconnecting the i.LINK cable.

• When connecting multiple i.LINK devices, depending on the specifications and the interoperability of the connected devices, their operation may not be stable. In that case, disconnecting all devices not in use and changing the method of connection may result in stable operation.

Page 53

Using external equipment

Setting the Recording Mode (i.LINK)

• The function for automatically adjusting the recording mode of connected i.LINK devices can be turned on or off.

• Since most of the currently available i.LINK devices 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 through” in normal circumstances.

• Depending on the i.LINK devices 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 through”.

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 stand-by 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 an i.LINK device. This does not change even if the “Standby Mode” is set to “Active”. To control the TV from an i.LINK device, 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.

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 election of the program provider.

• Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the election 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 appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English) or SPA (Spanish) or FRA (Fr ench), or other language codes.

• Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed caption. 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 identified 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 “T ext1” 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 a closed caption service which you prefer.

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 first 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:

• 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 recorded in the CC button’s memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are recorded.

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 67 for detailed closed caption settings.

• When using Freeze functions, closed captions will not be displayed on the right-most screen (still image).

• 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 election of the program provider.

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 68 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.
