items.

Tips and safety instructions

- The TFT color LCD panel used in this TV is made with the application of high precision technology. However, there may be minute points on the screen where pixels never light or are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed from an acute angle, there may be uneven colors or brightness. Please note that these are not malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs and will not affect the performance of the TV.

- Do not display a still picture for a long period, as this could cause a residual image.

- If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum setting, it may be difficult to see the screen.

- The quality of the video signal may influence the quality of the display. We recommend using an equipment able to emit high quality video signals.

- Never rub or tap the TV with hard objects.

Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal

CAUTION!

- When connecting, ensure that the TV is switched off.

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems. (See page E10 for information on removing/replacing the terminal cover.)

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)

Notes:

- The 75-ohm coaxial cable is recommended.

- TV memory for channels is empty at shipment. To receive channels, use the CHANNEL SETTING menu. (See pages E23 through E25.)

Outdoor antenna connection

- Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna. A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna. B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.

- Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the antenna input terminal (ANT) on the left side of the TV.

- A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the antenna input terminal (ANT).

- Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (commercially available).

"A" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view all unscrambled channels by

using the TV's channel buttons.

"B" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view the scrambled channels via the

converter/descrambler by using the converter's channel keys.

Setting the Closed Caption (CLOSED CAPTION)

This TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. "Closed Caption" is a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos to be viewed as captions on the TV screen.

- Not all programs and videos will offer Closed Captioning.

- The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in 2 modes: Caption (CAPTION) and Text (TEXT). For each mode, two channels are available: CH1 and CH2. The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas and news programs while allowing a clear view of the picture. The TEXT mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV program schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

Perform this procedure using the CC button or the CLOSED CAPTION menu. Here we will describe the procedure using the CC button. (See page E42 for information on using the menus.)

- Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor or if there are problems at the broadcast source.

- If no text broadcast is being received while viewing in the Text mode, the screen may become dark and blank for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to "OFF".

Adjusting the V-chip settings (V-CHIP)

Important:

- Please refer to the end of this manual for "Clearing the secret number".

This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.

- Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and content.

- Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete control.

Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA rating)

Rating

GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted. PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for children. PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED. X is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded in the data of older movies.

Age base

G PG PG-13 R NC-17 X

For example:

PG-13 in the age-based rating is blocked, this will also automatically block the higher ratings (R, NC-17, and X).

Note:

- The MPAA rating is only age-based.

DDC (Plug & Play)

This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard. DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug & Play functions on the monitor or computer. It transfers information such as degree of resolution between the monitor and computer. You can use this function if your computer is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can detect the Plug & Play monitor. There are many varieties of DDC due to the differences between systems. This monitor works with DDC2B.
