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
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (Commercially available).
F-type connector should be finger-
tightened only.
NOTICE
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not
tighten F-type connector with tools.
F-type connector
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV
set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
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 (Commercially available).

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.

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:
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 “

• The CC button keeps a record of the last service
selected in its memory.
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.
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 42 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 43 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
Rating
Description
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.
e
Age
G
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family,
contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
PG
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.
14
18
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.
e
e
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.
