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.

Experiencing HD Images

An HDTV without an HD source is just an ordinary TV. To enjoy HD images on the TV, you should get HD programming from the following:

• Over-the-air broadcasting via HD quality antenna

• HD cable/satellite subscription

• HD compatible external equipment

• For information on updating to HD programming, ask your cable/satellite service provider.

Types of Connection

Image quality differs depending on the terminal used. To enjoy clearer images, check the output terminals of your external equipment and use its appropriate terminals for higher quality images. For connecting the TV to external equipment, use commercially available cables.

• The illustrations of the terminals are for explanation purposes and may vary slightly from the actual products.

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.

DIGITAL

22.1

Audio : STEREO

Video 480p (4:3) 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 30 for details of Power Saving settings.

• See page 33 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.

• When TV+Web or Web is displayed, Closed Captions are not available.

• You can have the same settings by choosing "Change CC" on the menu items. (See page 32.)
