IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
• Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash  
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.  
• Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the  
product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries  
as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended  
by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to  
follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.  
• 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 overheating  
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 instructions are followed.  
• The Liquid Crystal 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 panel breaks.  
• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat  
registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture  
details.  
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this  
does not affect the performance of your product.  
Precautions when transporting the TV  
• When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speaker. Be sure to always  
carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.  
• Lightning — 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.  
• Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead  
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines  
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep  
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Preparation  
Using the remote control unit  
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the  
TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may  
prevent proper operation.  
Cautions regarding remote control unit  
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock.  
In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area  
with high humidity.  
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause  
deformation of the remote control unit.  
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is  
under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or  
the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.  
Antennas  
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections  
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,  
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.  
F-type connector  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type  
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools  
(Commercially available).  
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  
(Commercially available).  
F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.  
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten  
F-type connector with tools.  
NOTICE

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode  
Setting Digital broadcasting audio  
mode  
The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound  
other than the main audio for the program. This feature  
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV  
with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound and  
Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature  
allows a TV station to broadcast other information,  
which could be audio in another language or something  
completely different like weather information.  
The types of audio transmitted in a digital broadcast  
include SURROUND as well as MONO and STEREO.  
In addition, it is possible for multiple audio tracks to  
accompany a single video track.  
Press AUDIO to toggle  
between audio modes.  
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP  
broadcasts where available.

information  
• Depending on the number of caption services  
in the signal being received, you will see  
information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.  
1/2 means “the first of two services”.  
Example:  
If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG),  
CC1 and Text1), the closed caption display will  
toggle in this sequence:  
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
captions. Please look for the “  
that captions will be shown.  
” symbol to ensure

1/3 ENG  
2/3 CC1  
3/3 Text1  
OFF  
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than  
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its  
own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display  
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the  
program's picture.  
• The CC button keeps a record of the last service  
selected in its memory.  
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG)  
you selected is not available for the next  
program, or on another channel, the closed  
caption service that is available is automatically  
selected, and this service appears in  
parentheses, e.g. “1/3(CC1)”.  
Closed caption services that appear in  
parentheses will not be stored in the CC  
button's memory as your last selected service.  
Only services that you have selected with the  
CC button are stored.  
In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2”  
services display text that is unrelated to the program  
being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services  
are also superimposed over the program currently  
being viewed.  
Examples:  
In a case where there are two closed caption  
services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG)  
and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed  
as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is  
not broadcast for the next program, the other  
closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in  
parentheses.  
A closed caption service appears in parentheses  
because the service you selected is not available  
and a different service is displayed on your screen.  
“1/1(CC1)” is displayed instead of “1/2/ENG”.  
NOTE  
• See page 37 for detailed closed caption settings.  
• When the program contains no closed caption, “--”  
displays in the closed caption information.  
• If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital TV  
programs, “--” will be shown.  
• Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1,  
Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain  
none or only some of these services at the discretion of the  
program provider.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)  
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over  
broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while  
blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your TV.  
“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret  
number. (See page 38 for Secret number setting for parental control.)  
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.  
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate  
television shows from their children.  
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched  
on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

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

E
Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows,  
music videos, and variety programming.

that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.  
C8  
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.  
e
Age  
G
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family,  
contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

(under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.  
14  
18

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.

unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.  
• Remote control unit does not  
operate.  
• Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position.

• Check the antenna cable. Check that the antenna is correctly  
setup.  
• Check the broadcast time in the program guide.  
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 Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
