damage if 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.  
I Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is  
operated.  
I Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a  
safe place for future reference.  
I Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed  
closely.  
I Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.  
I Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inad-  
equate attachments can result in accidents.  
I 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.  
I Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from  
stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.  
I If the AC adapter is misplaced or needs to be replaced, obtain the same type of adapter from a

servicing.  
I Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and  
request a qualified service person to perform repairs.  
a.When the power 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.  
I 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 character-  
istics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric  
shock and/or other danger.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I Polarization—This AC adapter 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.

I Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are  
designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents  
and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause over-  
heating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place  
the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface,  
since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not  
designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in  
an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless  
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions are followed.  
I The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass.  
Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or  
applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken  
glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)  
I If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 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, Iocation of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-  
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

(NEC ART 250, PART H)  
I For added protection for this television equipment 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. This will prevent damage to the  
equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.  
I An outside antenna system should not be located in the  
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or

• Use a commercially available AC plug adapter, if necessary, depending on the design of the wall outlet.  
• Always turn the MAIN POWER switch of the LCD TV set to off when connecting the AC adapter.  
• Always unplug the AC adapter from the product and power outlet when not using for a long period of time.  
Antenna Connection  
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.

PREPARATION (Continued)  
Antenna Connection (Continued)  
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 the ANT. terminal on the rear of the TV set.

Adjusting the CLOSED CAPTION Settings  
I SETTING CLOSED CAPTION  
• This 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 TV program  
schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

• Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor or if there are  
problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your set.  
• If any button is pressed to call up the On-Screen Display while viewing a Closed Caption broadcast, the closed  
captions will disappear momentarily.  
• If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become dark and blank  
for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to OFF.

• 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 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued)  
Antenna  
Problem  
Check item  
• The reception may be weak.  
• The state of the broadcast may also be bad.  
• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.  
• Make sure the outside antenna is not disconnected.  
The picture is  
not sharp.  
The picture  
moves.  
• 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.  
• 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, transmis-  
sion 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.  
I 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 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)
