Precautions when transporting the TV  
• Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on  
each side of the TV.  
• Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or  
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet

Preparation  
Using the remote control unit  
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the  
TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may  
prevent proper operation.  
Cautions regarding the remote control unit  
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote  
control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.  
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause  
deformation of the remote control unit.  
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is  
under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or  
the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.  
Antennas  
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections

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

allows a TV station to broadcast other information,  
which could be audio in another language or something  
completely different like weather information.  
The types of audio transmitted in a digital broadcast  
include SURROUND as well as MONO and STEREO.  
In addition, it is possible for multiple audio tracks to  
accompany a single video track.

ANALOG  
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.

• 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:  
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
captions. Please look for the “

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.  
• 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”.  
NOTE  
• See page 38 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.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)  
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. (See page 39 for Secret number setting for parental control.)  
• 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.

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

that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.

way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on  
the screen.  
e
Age  
G
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family,  
contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

(under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.  
14  
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.

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.
