voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70,

provides information with regard to proper grounding of the

mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadqn wire

to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,

location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding

electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Preparation

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of tile 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 F4ype connector _ Fqype connector "1

that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially _ 75 ohm coaxial cable (round)

avaNable).

2.A 300-ohm system is a flat "twinqead" cable that can be attached

to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially

available). 300 ohm twinqead cable (fiat)

F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.

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

connector with tools.

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking 75+ohm coaxial cable

of internal circuit, etc.)

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption 1

decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration

and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed

Captions are available on sorne TV programs and on

some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the 2

program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service

available only on digital TV prograrns (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 3qetter

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 systern, 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.

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.

Press CC.

o This will present the Closed Caption intormation

display.

Press CC while the Closed Caption information is

still on the screen.

o Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed

caption service.

Closed Caption

information

o Depending on the number ot caption services in the

signal being received, you will see intormation 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:

o 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 net 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 CO button's memory as year last

selected service. Only services that you have selected

with the CC button are stored.

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".

o See page 25 for detailed closed caption settings.

o When the program contains no closed caption, "- " displays

in the closed caption information.

o If the language code, e.g. "ENG", is not tound on Digital TV

programs, " -" will be shown.

o Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1,

Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain

none or only some ot these services at the discretion ot the

program provider.

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.
