Preparation (Continued)  
Antenna Connection  
ANTENNAS  
• 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.  
F-type connector  
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily  
be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
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 (not supplied).  
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 ANT. (Antenna terminal) on the rear of the main unit.

Antenna Connection (Continued)  
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION  
• 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 ANT. terminal.  
• 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 (not supplied).  
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s channel keys.  
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by  
using the converter’s channel keys.

V-CHIP  
• 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 (Motion Picture Association of  
America) 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.

• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration  
other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.  
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the  
Canadian French ratings.  
Canadian English ratings  
Rating  
Description  
Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to  
themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.  
C
Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable,  
or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which  
they may see on the screen.  
C8e  
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire  
family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.  
G
Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger  
children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.  
Age  
PG  
Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of  
the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language  
usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme.  
14e  
Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence,  
which while related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult  
viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity.  
18e

Setting CLOSED CAPTION  
This LCD TV set is equipped with an internal Closed Caption  
decoder. “Closed Caption” is a system which allows conversa-  
tions, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home  
videos to be viewed as captions on the TV screen (see the  
illustration).  
Not all programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please  
look for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.  
The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in two modes:  
CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are  
available: CH1 and CH2.  
The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commen-  
taries 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

Connecting External Devices  
You can enjoy picture and sound by connecting a VCR or a home video game system to the terminals located on the rear of  
the main unit.  
When connecting an external device, turn off the MAIN POWER of the main unit first to prevent any possible damage.  
Example of External Devices that can be Connected  
To AV-IN2/OUT terminal  
To COMPONENT terminal  
<Example>  
• DVD Player, etc.  
<Example>  
• VCR  
• Laser disc player  
• Digital TV tuner  
* If your external device has a component  
terminal, COMPONENT connection is recom-  
mended (you can view high-quality pictures).  
To AV-IN1 terminal  
<Example>  
• Camcorder  
• Home video game system  
* If your external device has an S-video  
terminal, S-VIDEO connection is recom-  
mended.  
ANote:  
• PC connection is not possible.  
• For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cable.  
• Only connect audio/video signals to AV-IN1 and AV-IN2 terminals. Connecting other signals may result in a malfunction.  
• AV-IN1 has 2 video input terminals: VIDEO and S-VIDEO. When you connect external devices to both terminals (and if you select  
“AV-IN1”), you can only view pictures from the S-VIDEO terminal. To view the picture from the VIDEO terminal, do not connect any  
external device to the S-VIDEO terminal.

• There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or buildings.  
The picture  
is doubled  
or tripled.  
• There may be interference from automobiles, trains, high voltage lines,  
neon lights, etc.  
• There may be interference between the antenna cable and AC cord. Try  
positioning them further apart.  
The picture  
is spotted.  
• Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?  
Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations, transmission  
antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interfer-  
ence.  
• Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause  
possible interference.  
There are  
stripes on  
the screen  
or colors  
fade.  
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments  
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not  
a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.  
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as  
this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.  
Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
