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)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
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).
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.

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable
to the 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.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by
using the converter’s channel keys.

V-CHIP Settings
■ V-CHIP
• 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 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
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.
C
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.
C8e
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire
family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
G
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.
Age
PG
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.
14e
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.
18e
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.
G
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.
8anse
Age
Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of frequent violent scenes and therefore
recommended for viewing with parent.
13anse
Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.
16anse
Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme
violence.

Connecting External Devices
You can enjoy picture and sound by connecting a VCR or a home video game system to the terminals located on the rear of
the main unit.
When connecting an external device, turn off the MAIN POWER of the main unit first to prevent any possible damage.
Example of External Devices that can be Connected
To AV-IN2/OUT terminal
To COMPONENT terminal
<Example>
• DVD Player, etc.
<Example>
• VCR
• Laser disc player
• Digital TV tuner
* If your external device has a component
terminal, COMPONENT connection is recom-
mended (you can view high-quality pictures).
To AV-IN1 terminal
<Example>
• Camcorder
• Home video game system
* If your external device has an S-video
terminal, S-VIDEO connection is recom-
mended.
ANote:
• PC connection is not possible.
• For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cable.
• Only connect audio/video signals to AV-IN1 and AV-IN2 terminals. Connecting other signals may result in a malfunction.
• AV-IN1 has 2 video input terminals: VIDEO and S-VIDEO. When you connect external devices to both terminals (and if you select
“AV-IN1”), you can only view pictures from the S-VIDEO terminal. To view the picture from the VIDEO terminal, do not connect any
external device to the S-VIDEO terminal.
• For more information about external device connections, see the manuals of your external devices.

• The reception may be weak.
• The quality of the broadcast may also be bad.
• Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.
• Make sure the outside antenna is connected.
The picture
is not sharp.

• There may be interference from automobiles, trains, high voltage lines,
neon lights, etc.
• There may be interference between the antenna cable and AC cord. Try
positioning them further apart.
The picture
is spotted.
• Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?
Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations, transmission
antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interfer-
ence.
• 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.
Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
