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.

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.

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 the desired closed caption service.

Air DIGITAL

22.1

Audio : MONO

Video 1080i (16:9)

CC 1/2 CC1:

Ratings : NONE

: NONE

•

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 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 Off

•

The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory. If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) 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”.

Closed Caption information

•

When “Power Saving” is set to “Standard” or “Advanced”, the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel information window. See page 25 for details of Power Saving settings.

•

See page 31 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.

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)".

• 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)".

• 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 mini jack 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 41

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
