Preparation
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on
the TV/DVD. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control
sensor may prevent proper operation.

• 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/DVD
is under direct sunlight or strong lighting, in such cases, change the angle of the lighting or
the TV/DVD, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.

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.
r

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).

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The
breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

• Closed Caption might not appear according to the
condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.

Your TV/DVD is equipped with an internal Closed
Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations,
narration and sound effects as subtitles on your
TV/DVD. Closed Captions are available on some TV
programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the
discretion of the program provider.
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 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.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captions. Please look for the "_" symbol to ensure
that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identified by
its own number. The "C1" and "C2" services display
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the
program's picture. Generally, Closed Captions in
English are transmitted on C1 and Closed Captions in
other languages are transmitted on C2.

• To turn the Closed Caption feature off, setting the "CC
Setting" to "Off".

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.

• 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, setting the "CC
Setting" 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 TV 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.
• When a Digital TV Program has both Digital Closed Caption and Analog Closed Caption signals, Digital Closed Caption is
displayed.

V-CHIP might not function according to the condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV/DVD. 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/DVD.
V-CHIP SET menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your password.
(See page 19 for password setting for parental control.)
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: movie ratings and TV Parental Guidelines.
• 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.

• 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.
