during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. 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.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

en into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or
water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet
has been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Closed Captions
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which
then appear on the television screen in a form similar to subtitles. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.
Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue can
be arranged into captions in advance. It’s possible to caption a
live program by using a process called real-time captioning, which
creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is normally done
by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and
computer for translation into English.
FOLLOW ME
Caption Tips
• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting From
CC1 to CC4
Another mode might show demonstration or programming information.
• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
Poor reception conditions are encountered:
1
, you can choose which signal you view. CC1 is usually the signal with the captions, while
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it
can also aid in teaching language skills.
• The picture at left shows a typical caption.
• IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots or horizontal
streaking. Usually caused by interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other
electrical appliances.
• GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two
paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected off tall
buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or
position of the antenna may improve reception.
• SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV
signal, your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be
necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is played.
2
Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
3
The signal from the antenna is weak.
4
The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.

type of program and by the categories chosen to be blocked. It is also possible to block all program viewing
for a time period. To use the Parental Control Function, the following must be set.
1. Ratings and categories to be blocked.
2. Number of hours to lock the television viewing control
3. Set a password
4. Enable the lock

blocked.
