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.

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.

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 programming.

• 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

8anse

Age

Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of frequent violent scenes and therefore

recommended for viewing with parent.

13anse

Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.

16anse

Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme

violence.

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

the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a

problem with your LCD TV 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 blank for some programs.

Should this occur, switch the CLOSED CAPTION mode to OFF.

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 INPUT2 terminal

To INPUT1 terminal

• Camcorder

• DVD Player, etc.

• Home video game system

• Digital TV tuner

• 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 anten-

nas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interference.

• Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause possi-

ble 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.
