by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
"Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical."

Preparation
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.

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.

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).

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).

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not
tighten F-type connector with tools.

Using external

equipment

Up to 16 i.LINK devices can be connected using a
daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.

i.LINK is an interface connection using a serial transfer
system and is able to transfer multimedia data, such
as digital images and digital sound, between devices
that have i.LINK terminals, i.LINK is a term defined in
the IEEE1394 (Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers) standard. Currently, the transfer speeds are
at 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps and 400 Mbps, each of them
expressed as $100, $200 and $400 respectively. On
this TV, the maximum speed is 400 Mbps.
i. LINK devices that can be connected to this TV

When 3 or more i.LINK devices are connected, branch
connection can be used. With branch connections, up
to 62 i.LINK devices can be connected.

D-VHS decks, AV-HDD recorders, Blu-ray Disc
recorders, HDV camcorders, STBs and TVs can be
connected to this TV via i.LINK. Other devices such
as DVD recorders, non-HDV camcorders, computers
or computer peripheral devices do not meet the
specifications for this TV and therefore cannot be
connected via i.LINK. Even for the types of i.LINK
device mentioned above, device recognition, control,
recording and playback operations may not be possible
on some devices.

--i
--t

Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK
Only digital programs can be recorded by i.LINK
devices connected to this TV using the i.LINK, i.LINK
recording is not compatible with analog broadcasts or
external input signals (INPUT terminals 1 through 5).

Please make sure the
shapes of the terminal
and the plug match,
and insert the plug into
the terminal straight,
not on an angle.

Cautions

regarding

i......
l.......
i.LINK

connection

Please use $400 type i.LINK cables.
Some i.LINK devices may not relay data if their power is off.
In this case the device should be connected at the end of
any series of connections.
This TV can relay data during power off, by selecting "Active"
in the "Standby Mode" option in "i.LINK Setup". (See page
35.)
, Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in the
diagram.

When any devices are playing or recording via i.LINK, do
not turn off the power of, or disconnect the cable from
any of the i.LINK devices, even if one or more of the i.LINK
devices are not in use. Doing so may affect the picture and
the sound from an i.LINK device in use.
If devices such as DVD recorders, non-HDV camcorders,
computers and computer peripheral devices that are not
compatible with this TV are connected to the TV using
i.LINK, other i.LINK connections may be disrupted.
If device recognition, control, recording or play back, on
an i.LINK connected device does not function correctly,
correct operation may be restored by disconnecting and
reconnecting the i.LINK cable.
When connecting multiple i.LINK devices, depending on
the specifications and the interoperability of the connected
devices, their operation may not be stable. In that case,
disconnecting all devices not in use and changing the
method of connection may result in stable operation.

The function for automatically adjusting the recording
mode of connected i.LINK devices can be turned on or
off.

Since most of the currently available i.LINK devices
automatically recognize the transfer rates of the pictures
and sound being recorded and control the recording
mode accordingly, you should always set this Mode
to "Pass through" in normal circumstances,
Depending on the i.LINK devices used and the type of
broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust the
recording mode properly. In this case, please set the
"Recording Mode" to "Pass through".

Power consumption during standby mode can be
minimized by changing the setting of the "Standby
Mode" in "i.LINK Setup".
If you are not using i.LINK and want to save power at
the standby, select "Inactive" in "Standby Mode".

Press MENU to exit.

When the main power of the TV is in standby mode (POWER
indicator lights off), i.LINK control commands cannot be
received from an i.LINK device. This does not change even
if the "Standby Mode" is set to "Active". To control the
TV from an i.LINK device, turn the TV power on (POWER
indicator lights up in blue).
Data cannot be relayed between i.LINK devices when
all the following conditions are met: 1) More than one
i.LINK device is connected to the TV with i.LINK cables,
2) "Standby Mode" is set to "Inactive", and 3) The power
of the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off).
When the TV is connected between two i.LINK devices in
series, select "Active" in "Standby Mode" or connect the TV
at an end of the series as shown in the diagram.
