Introduction  
Precautions  
Notes on handling  
Notes on moisture condensation  
3 When shipping the unit, the original shipping carton  
and packing materials come in handy. For fully  
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed  
at the factory.  
3 Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near  
the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products to  
contact the unit for prolonged period. They will leave  
marks on the finish.  
Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please  
read the following carefully.  
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you  
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of  
water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,  
moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens  
inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of  
the unit.  
3 The top and rear panels of the unit may become  
warm after a long period of use. This is not a  
malfunction.  
3 When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the  
disc and turn off the power.  
3 If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit  
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and  
use the unit occasionally.  
3 Moisture condensation occurs during the  
following cases.  
Notes on locating  
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to  
a warm place.  
3 Place the unit on a level surface. Do not use it on a  
shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or  
inclined stand. The loaded disc may become  
disaligned and damage the unit.  
3 When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,  
the playback picture may become poor and the sound  
may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away  
from the TV, radio or VCR.  
When you use the unit in a room where you just  
turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind  
from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.  
In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid  
place just after you move the unit from an air  
conditioned room.  
When you use the unit in a humid place.  
Notes on cleaning  
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.  
Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry.  
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and  
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the unit.  
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,  
follow that product’s instructions.  
3 Do not use the unit when moisture condensation  
may occur.  
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage  
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect  
the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on  
the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After two  
or three hours, the unit will have warmed up and  
evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to  
the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom  
occur.

This TV/DVD has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box.  
Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for  
normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.  
For subscribers to basic cable TV service

TV operation  
Closed captions  
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?  
This television has the capability to decode and display closed captioned  
television programs. Closed captioning will display text on the screen for  
hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another  
language.  
CLOSED  
CAPTION  
Closed captions  
Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending on the  
setting of the closed captions CH 1/2).  
Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on captions channel 1 and closed captions in other languages  
are transmitted on captions channel 2.  
Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information.  
After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.  
If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is  
received again. If the channels are changed, the captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds. The captions will  
appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen.  
News programs will usually show three-line closed captions which scroll onto the screen.  
Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can  
follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring empha-  
sis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.  
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).  
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS  
Press CLOSED CAPTION to switch between normal TV and the two closed caption  
modes (captions and full screen text). Closed captioning will display text on the screen  
for hearing impaired viewers.  
Notes:  
• When selecting closed captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.  
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the caption mode.  
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning,  
especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not  
allow time for editing.  
• When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with closed  
captions.  
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may not appear or may appear with  
strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.  
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY  
Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) patterns or images  
(including but not limited to PIP/POP windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers,  
websites and special formats that do not use the entire screen) can become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray  
tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR  
WARRANTY.

• Resuming cannot function when you play a PBC-featured Video CD while the PBC is on. To turn off the PBC, see page  
.
• Some playback operations of DVDs may be intentionally fixed by software producers. Since this unit plays DVDs according  
to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also refer to the  
instructions supplied with the DVDs.  
• Do not move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.  
• Use OPEN/CLOSE to open and close the disc tray. Do not push the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the unit  
to malfunction.  
• Do not push up on the disc tray or put any objects other than discs on the disc tray. Doing so may cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
• In many instances, a menu screen will appear after playback of a movie is completed. Prolonged display of an on-screen  
menu may damage your television set, permanently etching that image onto its screen. To avoid this, be sure to press  
POWER on your remote control once the movie is completed.  
• There may be a slight delay between you pressing the button and the function activating.  
To obtain a higher quality picture  
Occasionally, some picture noise not usually visible during a normal broadcast may appear on the TV screen while playing a  
DVD video disc because the high resolution pictures on these discs include a lot of information. While the amount of noise  
depends on the TV you use with this unit, you should generally reduce the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing  
DVD video discs.

Reception disturbances  
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF  
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television  
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV/DVD is connected to a Cable  
TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.  
IGNITION  
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or  
drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,  
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair  
dryers.  
GHOSTS  
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is  
the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other  
large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may  
improve the reception.  
SNOW  
If the TV/DVD is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception  
area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.  
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external  
antenna may be necessary.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)  
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving  
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a  
loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of  
the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.  
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION  
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST  
or BRIGHTNESS settings.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV/DVD from the power source before cleaning.  
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.  
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
