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.

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 ENGOf
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”.
When “Power Saving” is set to “Standard” or “Advanced”,
•
the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel
information window. See page 19 for details of Power
Saving settings.
See page 24 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.

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.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings
and Canadian French ratings)
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.

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? Page 16
• Adjust the picture tone.
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the power control settings.
• The unit's internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or
clean.
• Is the volume too low? Page 13
• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? Page 24
• Have you pressed MUTE on the remote control unit?
• Check the audio output of the connected external equipment. Is the volume too low

• When external equipment is connected via an HDMI cable, you may need to
confi gure the audio to be output through the HDMI cable.
• When audio is not output from external equipment connected to the INPUT 4 or
INPUT 6 terminal, check the "PC Audio Select" setting. Page 24
• Even when external equipment is connected using an HDMI-certifi ed cable, an audio
cable connection may be required depending on the type of equipment and the
media being played back. In this case, in addition to connecting an HDMI-certifi ed
cable to the INPUT 6 (HDMI) terminal, connect a ø 3.5 mm stereo minijack cable to
the AUDIO terminal and set "PC Audio Select" to "Input 6 (HDMI)". Page 24
• When connecting a PC via an HDMI-certifi ed cable, check the following:
- Is the audio output of the PC confi gured correctly? Check the audio output
settings and output audio format in Sound Properties on the PC.
Only PCM format audio can be output. Compressed audio (with a sampling rate of
32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz) and DTS format audio cannot be output.
- Depending on the board, only video signals may be output. In this case, in addition
to connecting an HDMI-certifi ed cable to the INPUT 6 (HDMI) terminal, connect a
ø 3.5 mm stereo minijack cable to the AUDIO terminal and set "PC Audio Select"
to "Input 6 (HDMI)". Page 24
• If you are using a DVI-HDMI conversion cable to connect external equipment to the
TV, check the following:
- Is an audio cable connected? The DVI-HDMI conversion cable is for video only.
Connect a ø 3.5 mm stereo minijack cable to listen to the audio.
- Is INPUT 6 being used? When the TV is connected to another HDMI terminal, the
audio and video are not output together even if a ø 3.5 mm stereo minijack cable
is connected to the shared AUDIO terminal for INPUT 4 and INPUT 6.
- Is "Input 4 (PC)" selected in "PC Audio Select"? Page 24

ProblemPossible Solution
• No picture• Is connection to other components correct?
• Picture quality of HD programs is
poor.
• The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.
• Is the correct input signal type selected in "Input Select" after connection?
Page 24
• Is the correct input selected? Page 15
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? Page 24
• If the PC image is not displayed, check the following:
- When connecting a laptop PC to the TV, check that display output mode of the
PC is set to external monitor.
- Check the resolution setting on the PC. Is a non-compatible signal being input?
Page 30
• To enjoy HD images from external equipment, you are required to set up HDMI
connection or component connection.
• If the program content is not of HD quality, HD images cannot be displayed. Check
that the program you are viewing provides HD images.
• The HD cable/satellite set-top box may need to be confi gured to output HD images
via cable/satellite.
• The cable/satellite broadcast may not support a signal resolution of 1080p.
• 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.

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.
