CONDENSATION

Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature

of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, unit's performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the unit stand in its new

surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the

location of the unit.

HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL

Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.

If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation.

If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your

skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for long periods of time, the image

can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT

COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or

images:

Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (black

bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right

sides of screen).

The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim any responsibility for

these symptoms.

LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes parts of the screen may be

missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

1. Open the battery compartment cover.

2. Install two “AAA” batteries (supplied).

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Before using the remote control, batteries must first be installed. Use two “AAA” size batteries. The batteries may last approximately

one year depending on how much the remote control is used.

For best performance, it is recommended that batteries should

be replaced on a yearly basis, or when the remote operation

becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or different

types.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

These precautions should be followed when using batteries in this

device:

Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries

as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries

may cause damage to the device.

Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and

Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.

If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove

the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery

leakage.

Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged;

they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s

Antenna connections

If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, follow the instructions below that correspond to your antenna system. If you

are using a Cable TV service, see Cable TV connections.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna to the Antenna

Jack.

75 ohm

Coaxial

Cable

Antenna

Jack

Cable TV connections

For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the

75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the TV.

For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service

If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial

Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler

box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler

box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For subscribers to unscrambled Cable TV service with scrambled premium channels

If you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/

Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the Cable TV company or an electronics

supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels

on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and

use the Converter/Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

This TV 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” where the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal

viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.

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.

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the

screen in English or another language if program supports other

languages. Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted

on CC1 and a Closed Caption in other languages is transmitted

on CC2.

Tex t: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of the

screen with other text information such as weather if program

supports this feature.

2Press ▲ or ▼ to select “Closed Captions”, then press ▶ or

ENTER.

The Closed Captions menu will appear.

3Press ◀ or ▶ to set “CC Display” to “On”.

Off: Captions will not be displayed on the screen.

4Press ▲ or ▼ to select “Analog Caption” or “Digital Caption”.

When you select “Analog Caption”, you can choose from CC1,

6Press ▲ or ▼ to select “CC Priority”, then press ◀ or ▶ to

select “Digital CC” or “Analog CC”.

NOTE:

Depending on the broadcast signal, some Analog Captions

will function with a Digital broadcast signal. This step

prevents that two kind of captions are overlapping.

•

NOTE:

If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no

captions will display on-screen.

If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle

may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the CC Display to

“Off”.

When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed

approx. 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 be seen but 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.

Closed Captions menu also can be displayed by pressing C.C.

on the remote control.

Reception disturbances

IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference

from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other

is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position of the

antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such

as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without using multiple antenna

couplers.

SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, your

picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be

necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of

contrast in the picture.

PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS

This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to

Radio receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:

•

•

•

•

Keep the television away from Radio.

Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.

The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.

Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than

the television. If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions

mentioned above.

BLOCK NOISE or FREEZE (DIGITAL INPUT):

Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is usually caused by

interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, ghosting of the image and

lost or weak receiving signals.

BLACK SCREEN:

When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be necessary to upgrade your

antenna.

NOTE:

The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio equipment from the TV set to a

considerable distance.
