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:

events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts: Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or
SAP sound.

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.

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.
