Preparation  
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  
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).  
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 (Commercially  
available).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
NOTICE  
F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.

AV MODE  
AUDIO  
AV MODE gives you 7 viewing options to choose from  
to best match the surrounding environment of the TV,  
which can vary due to factors like room brightness,  
type of program watched or the type of image input  
from external equipment.  
MTS/SAP stereo 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.  
Press AV MODE. Current AV MODE displays.  
• Press AV MODE again before the mode displayed on the  
screen disappears. The mode changes as shown below:  
Example:  
When the input source is TV, INPUT 1, 2 or 3 terminals  
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts  
where available.  
• Stereo broadcasts: View programs like live sporting  
events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.  
• SAP broadcasts: Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or  
SAP sound.  
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in  
mono or stereo).  
SAP sound: Listen to a second language, supplementary  
commentary or other information. (SAP is mono sound.)  
If stereo sound is difficult to hear.

Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions  
Press CC.  
Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption  
decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration  
and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed  
Captions are available on some TV programs and on  
some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the  
program provider.

• This will present the Closed Caption information  
display.  
Press CC while the Closed Caption information is  
still on the screen.  
• Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed  
caption service.  
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service  
available only on digital TV programs (also at the  
discretion of the service provider). It is a more flexible  
system than the original Closed Caption system,  
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font  
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in  
use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter  
abbreviation that also indicates the language of the  
Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),  
FRA (French) or other language codes.

Closed Caption  
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:  
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
captions. Please look for the “N” symbol to ensure  
that captions will be shown.  
If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1  
and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this  
sequence:  
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.  
1/3 ENG  
2/3 CC1  
3/3 Text1  
Off  
• 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”.  
• See page 25 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.

V-Chip  
Parental CTRL  
(Parental Control Setting)  
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.  
Secret No.  
Allows you to use a secret number to protect certain  
settings from being accidentally changed.  
IMPORTANT:  
Three conditions must be met to enable the V-Chip (see  
pages 22 to 24):  
1. Secret No. is registered.  
2. V-Chip/V-Chip (DTV Only) settings have been made.  
• The “V-Chip (DTV Only)” will only be selectable when  
a new rating system can be downloaded via digital  
broadcasting in the U.S.  
• 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.

be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration  
other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and  
mature themes.

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.  
Storage temperature: f4°F to e140°F (f20°C to e60°C)
