Preparation  
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two “AAA” size batteries supplied in the remote control. When the  
batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.  
1 Open the battery cover.  
2 Insert two “AAA” size batteries.  
3 Close the battery cover.  
Slide the cover while  
pressing the ( ) part.  
Place batteries with their  
terminals corresponding  
to the (+) and (–)  
indications in the battery  
compartment.

Caution!  
Precautions regarding batteries  
Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.  
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.  
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old  
batteries to leak chemicals.  
• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical  
leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.  
• The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions.  
• If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.  
Using the Remote Control  
Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor  
window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and  
sensor window may prevent proper operation.

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)  
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).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
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.

Preparation (Continued)  
Antenna Connection (Continued)  
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION  
• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the LCD TV set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm  
coaxial cable to the LCD TV 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.

Do not let the EZ SETUP screen remain unattended for a long time.  
If EZ SETUP does not memorize all the channels in your region,  
please refer to page 21 for more information on manually memo-  
rizing the channels using CH-SETTING.  
It may be difficult to preset when the broadcasting signals are  
weak, the channel cycle frequency is incorrect or the frequency  
jamming is occurring around the area. Please refer to page 21 for  
more information on manually memorizing channels using  
CH-SETTING.  
If there are no channels with EDS signals or the antenna signal is  
weak, the AUTO CLOCK setting may not operate. In this case, the  
“EDS CH IS NOT AVAILABLE.” message will appear and the  
mode will change to MANUAL CLOCK setting. Refer to page 13 to  
set the clock manually.

Press '/" to select “ON” or “OFF”.  
When you select “ON”, the LCD TV set will  
automatically adjust the clock to search time-signals  
(EDS signals), which are provided by some TV stations.  
The AUTO CLOCK setting may take from several  
minutes to an hour depending on the number of  
channels to receive and signal status. If you know the  
channel of the EDS signal carrier (PBS or other) in your  
area, select “OFF” and follow the procedure in AUTO

Setting the CLOCK

• CLOCK:  
AUTO CLOCK Setting  
The AUTO CLOCK setting may take from several minutes to an hour  
depending on the number of channels to receive and signal status.  
• EDS CH < AUTO >:  
If there are no channels with EDS signals or the antenna signal is  
weak, the AUTO CLOCK Setting may not operate. In such a  
case, the message “EDS CH IS NOT AVAILABLE.” appears, and  
the CLOCK setting screen (in step 4 in AUTO CLOCK Setting) is  
displayed. Refer to MANUAL CLOCK Setting to set the clock  
manually.  
There are two methods of setting the clock: AUTO CLOCK  
and MANUAL CLOCK. AUTO CLOCK uses EDS signals,  
which are provided by some TV stations, to automatically  
adjust the clock. MANUAL CLOCK sets the clock manually in  
areas where no channel carries EDS signals.  
• EDS CH < Not AUTO >:  
If the channel you have selected for “EDS CH” is wrong or the EDS  
signal carrier is weak, or when there is no broadcast, the AUTO  
CLOCK Setting may not operate. In such cases, the message  
“EDS CH (XXX) EDS DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE.” appears, and  
the CLOCK setting screen (in step 4 in AUTO CLOCK Setting) is  
displayed as in the case with EDS CH < AUTO >. Follow step 4  
and repeat the AUTO CLOCK Setting procedure.  
• If broadcasting channels are not memorized, EDS signals cannot  
be received even when the “EDS CH” is set to “AUTO”. In this  
case, try EZ SETUP again. (See page 21.)

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.

Canadian Rating Systems  
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission  
(CRTC) policy on violence in television programing.  
• 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
age-based  
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.  
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  
Canadian French ratings  
Rating  
Description  
General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but may be integrated  
into the plot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.  
G
General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public audience, but  
could contain scenes disturbing to children under 8 who cannot distinguish between  
imaginary and real situations. Recommended for viewing with parent.  
8 anse

CLOSED CAPTION  
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 POWER of the main unit first to prevent any possible damage.  
Example of External Devices that can be Connected  
To INPUT1 terminal  
To INPUT2 terminal  
<Example>  
<Example>  
• DVD Player, etc.  
• Camcorder  
• Home video game system

component terminal, COMPONENT  
connection is recommended  
(you can view high-quality pictures).  
To INPUT3/OUTPUT terminal  
<Example>  
• VCR  
• Laser disc player  
* If your external device has an S-video  
terminal, S-VIDEO connection is  
recommended.  
• Audio amplifier  
ANote:  
• For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cable.  
• Only connect audio/video signals to INPUT2 and INPUT3/OUTPUT terminals. Connecting other signals may result in a malfunction.  
• INPUT2 has 2 video input terminals: VIDEO and S-VIDEO. When you connect external devices to both terminals (and if you select  
INPUT2), 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.  
• For more information about external device connections, see the manuals of your external devices.

Troubleshooting (Continued)  
Before calling for repair services, make the following checks for possible remedies to the encountered symptoms.  
Antenna  
Problem  
Check item  
• The reception may be weak.  
The picture is not sharp.  
The picture moves.  
• The quality of the broadcast may also be bad.  
• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.  
• Make sure the outside antenna is connected.  
• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.  
• There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or buildings.  
The picture is doubled or tripled.  
The picture is spotted.  
• 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.  
• 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 interference.  
• 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.
