Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.  
Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can  
result in accidents.  
Power sourceThis product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of  
the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For units designed to operate  
on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.  
AC cord protectionThe AC cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from  
resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.  
Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.  
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not  
spill water or liquid on the product.  
ServicingDo not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other  
dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.  
Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service  
person to perform repairs.  
a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged.  
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.  
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.  
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not  
described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified  
technician.  
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.  
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the  
product needs servicing.  
Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement  
parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of  
unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.  
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 Liquid Crystal panel breaks.  
Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating  
products (including amplifiers).  
The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture  
details.

Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.  
If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide  
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides  
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an  
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Caution!  
Precautions regarding batteries  
Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.  
Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.  
Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.  
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old  
batteries to leak chemicals.  
Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical  
leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.  
The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions.  
If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.  
Using the Remote Control  
Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor  
window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and  
sensor window may prevent proper operation.  
Cautions regarding use of the remote control

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.

Antenna Connection (Continued)  
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  
16anse  
Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.  
Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme  
violence.

ANote:  
For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cable.  
PC connection is not possible.  
For more information about external device connections, see the operation manuals of your external devices.  
Make sure that the corresponding cables are connected to each terminal. Connecting other cables may result in a malfunction.  
INPUT2 has two terminals, VIDEO and S-VIDEO terminals. If your external device has an S-VIDEO terminal, S-VIDEO connection is  
recommended. S-VIDEO provides a finer, more detailed picture. If both terminals are connected, S-VIDEO terminal takes a priority.  
Only when 480I or 480P signal is received through the INPUT1, picture can be displayed.

Troubleshooting (Continued)  
Antenna  
Problem  
Check item  
The reception may be weak.  
The picture is not sharp.  
The picture moves.  
The quality of the broadcast may also be bad.  
Make sure the antenna is facing the correct direction.  
Make sure the outside antenna is connected.  
Make sure the antenna is facing the correct direction.  
There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or buildings.  
The picture is doubled or tripled.  
The picture is spotted.  
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.  
Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?  
There are stripes on the screen  
or colors fade.  
Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations, transmission antennas of  
amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interference.  
Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause possible interference.  
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)
