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.

Setting the CLOCK

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.

• 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 24.)

• 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.

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.

General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family,

contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

⇑

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.

⇓

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.

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.

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.

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.
