• 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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CHILD SAFETY:  
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display  
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:  
THE ISSUE  
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel  
displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported  
on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.  
• Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves,  
desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!  
• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable  
and safe.  
TUNE INTO SAFETY  
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe  
installation and use of your flat panel display.  
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.  
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.  
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as  
a chest of drawers.  
• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially  
on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the  
display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.  
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel  
display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT  
PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:  
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed  
by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).  
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.  
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display,  
contact your retailer about professional installation.  
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some  
wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder  
block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.  
• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be  
heavy.

AV MODE  
AUDIO  
AV MODE gives you several 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).

Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions  
Closed Caption  
information  
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.  
Ratings  
• 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:  
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.  
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.  
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
captions. Please look for the “  
that captions will be shown.  
” symbol to ensure  
N
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.  
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.  
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.  
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”.  
• When “Power Saving” is set to “Standard” or “Advanced”,  
the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel  
information window. See page 23 for details of Power  
Saving settings.  
• See page 29 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 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.  
• "Now, TV will restart automatically. OK?" displays on the  
screen.  
Select "Yes".  
• "Now initializing..." displays on the screen and blinks.  
After the reset has been completed, the power shuts off  
and then comes back on. The screen will have returned  
to its original settings.  
• 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.  
• The Channel Setup settings will not be changed.  
• The Language settings will not be changed.  
• The Secret number settings will not be changed.  
• The TV Location settings will not be changed.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings and Canadian French ratings)  
• 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.  
E: Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information  
programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming.  
C: 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.  
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.  
G: General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate  
viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical,  
verbal or emotional.
