improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However,  
improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following  
instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of  
your LCD color TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.  
Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.  
Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future  
reference.  
Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.  
Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.  
Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments  
can result in accidents.  
Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are  
not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For units  
designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.  
AC cord protection—The AC cord must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on it or objects from  
resting on it. Check the cord at the plugs and product.  
Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.  
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.  
Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage  
flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same  
reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.  
Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and  
other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.  
Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified  
service person to perform repairs.  
a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged.  
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.  
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.  
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of  
controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work  
by a qualified technician.  
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.  
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the  
product needs servicing.  
Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses  
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the  
original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.  
Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety  
checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.  
Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product  
according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.  
Polarization—This AC cord may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one  
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are  
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

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.

• 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.

Setting the CLOCK  
A
AUTO CLOCK Setting  
• CLOCK:  
The AUTO CLOCK setting may take from several minutes to an  
hour depending on the number of channels to receive and signal  
status.  
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 < 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.  
• 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.  
Press MENU to display the Menu screen.

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.

CLOSED CAPTION  
Setting CLOSED CAPTION  
This LCD TV set is equipped with an internal Closed  
Caption decoder. “Closed Caption” is a system which allows  
conversations, 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  
commentaries 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

The image is not displayed in  
the center of the screen.  
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)
