Note to CATV system installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Use of this television receiver for other than private viewing of programs broadcast on UHF, VHF, transmitted by cable companies or satellite for the use of the general public may require authorization from the broadcaster/cable company and/or program owner.

NOTIFICATION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: – Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas. – Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help. You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your warranty and your authority to operate this equipment.

Safety

– Operate the TV only on 120 V AC. – The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall

outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

– If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet,

unplug the TV immediately and have it checked by qualified service personnel before operating it further.

Installing

– To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation

openings.

– Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place

subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

– The AC power cord is attached to the rear of the TV with

hooks. Do not attempt to remove the cord from these hooks. Doing so could cause damage to the TV.

Notes on Cleaning the TV

Enjoying High-quality Pictures and Sounds

To enjoy high-quality pictures and sound, refer to the following and adjust the picture and audio options to best suit the program you are watching.

When watching TV

Set Picture Mode to “Standard” (page 23)

To adjust the picture quality

Select “Liv. Rm.” (Living Room) and adjust the options, referring to the following (See page 36).

• Adjust “Brightness” and “Contrast” according to the light conditions in your room. First, adjust the brightness. Note that increasing “Brightness” too much whitens black color. Next, adjust the contrast. If “Contrast” is reduced and there is little difference between bright and dark areas, increase “Gamma Correct.” (Gamma Correction).

• If antenna reception level is too low, the picture may be noisy. In this case, increase “Noise Reduct.” (Noise Reduction). If the picture is still noisy, decrease “Sharpness” to reduce any noise.

• Set “Cine Motion” to “Off” except when watching movies.

Set Sound Mode to “Standard” (page 23)

To adjust the sound quality

Select “Liv. Rm” (Living Room) and adjust the options, referring to the following (See pages 24, 38).

• Adjust “Treble” and “Bass” to your taste.

• Set “Effect” as follows: – When watching news: “Off” – When watching music programs: “Hall” – To add a surround-like effect to mono programs: “Simul.”

(Simulated).

When watching movies on videotapes or DVD

Set Picture Mode to “Movie” (page 23)

To adjust the picture quality

Select “Movie” and adjust the options, referring to the following (See page 36).

• Set “Cine Motion” to “Auto” for smoothest presentation of movies on screen (24 frame per second).

• If there is too much noise when watching a rental videotape, increase “Noise Reduct.” (Noise Reduction). If the picture is still noisy, decrease “Sharpness” to reduce noise.

• To enjoy high-level picture quality of DVD, increase “Sharpness” to a degree where the picture appears clear, but

not overly sharp (See page 37).

Set Sound Mode to “Movie” (page 23)

To adjust the sound quality

Select “Movie” and adjust the options, referring to the following (See page 24).

• For surround sound, set “Effect” to “TS” (TruSurround) (See page 24).

Tips

• Caption Vision is displayed if you activate the Closed Caption feature (See page 21).

• If the same still image, such as a menu screen of DVD, is displayed for a long time, image retention may result. To prevent the image retention, decrease “Brightness” (page 37) or use the Screen Saver function (page 49).
