table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury
to someone, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9.VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back

IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE
ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.
11.GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will t into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug

fail to t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12.POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
13.OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
16.OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
17.OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into
this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a re or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
18.SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to quali ed service personnel.
19.DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this TV from the wall

About digital TV broadcasting:
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting
far surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture
and sound quality.
What is the minor channel?
By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple
signals to send simultaneously.
Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by
a single network.
NTSC (analog mode)

: change manually by using [CH / ]
Although, you cannot watch the high definition TV
(HDTV) program, the unit converts the HDTV signal
down to the standard definition TV signal.

• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the
numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations. These are
the numbers used for analog broadcasts.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote
control.
• Test the signal output. If OK, then possible infrared sensor trouble.
(Refer to “IR Signal Check” on page 23.)
• Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the

• Reduce the distance to the unit.
• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.
Problems with Closed Caption Feature
Misspelled captions are
displayed.
Captions are not entirely
displayed, or captions are
delayed behind the dialogue.
Captions are displayed as a
white box.
No caption is displayed in the
closed caption-supported
program.
No caption is displayed
when playing the videotape
containing captions.
Black box is displayed in the
TV screen.
• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without
correcting the misspelling in a live broadcast.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for
•
live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to a
maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is
used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
• Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be
incomplete.
• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement. The closed
caption decoder cannot read the information of the shortened program.
• The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have been
read during copying.
• The text mode is selected for caption. Select “C1”, “C2”, “C3”, “C4” or “OFF”.
• Some functions are not available in specific modes, but this is not a malfunction. Read the description in this owner’s manual for more
details on correct operations.
Maintenance5
Cabinet Cleaning
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft
cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the
unit. Such chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to the exposed
surfaces.
Panel Cleaning
Wipe the panel of the unit with a soft cloth. Before cleaning the panel,
disconnect the power cord.
Servicing
Should your unit become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem
yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Turn o the unit,
unplug the power cord and call our toll free customer support line found on
the cover of this manual to locate an authorized service center.
Degaussing
A degaussing circuit in this unit clears up color errors on the TV screen.
Color errors occur when there is any excess magnetism close to the unit.
This circuit is designed to operate once when the unit is rst plugged
in. If you see minor color errors on the TV screen, unplug the unit for approximately 30 minutes. When you plug the unit again, the degaussing
circuit will operate to clear errors. Take this step any time the TV screen is
accidentally magnetized or when you move the unit.
IR Signal Check
If the remote control is not working properly, you can use an AM radio or
digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in camera) to see if it
is sending out an infrared signal.
• With an AM radio:
Tune the AM radio station to a non-broadcasting
frequency. Point the remote control towards it,
push any button and listen. If the sound from the
radio utters, it is receiving the remote control’s
infrared signal.
• With a digital camera
(including built-in cell phone cameras):
Point a digital camera towards the remote control.
Push any button on the remote control and look
through the digital camera. If the infrared light
appears through the camera, the remote control is
working.
