SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in 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.

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
THE iSSUE
o The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays
are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper
stands or installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
o Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER

CARES!

o The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable
and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
o One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the safe installation
and use of your flat panel display.
o Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
o Don't allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
o Don't place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest
of drawers.
o Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a
"larger than life" flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
o Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that
they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING:

IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

o Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such
as UL, CSA, ETL).
o Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
o If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional
installation.
o Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be
mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
o A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

II MTS/SAP stereo mode
The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound
other than the main audio for the program. This feature
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV
with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound
and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP
feature allows a TV station to broadcast other
information, which could be audio in another language
or something completely different like weather
information.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts
where available.
= Stereo broadcasts:
View programs like live sporting
events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
= SAP broadcasts:
Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN
or SAP sound.
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in
mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to a second language, supplementary
commentary or other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
If stereo sound is difficult to hear.

STANDARD: For a highly defined image in a normal
lighting.
MOVIE: For a movie.

= Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed
mono-sound mode.

GAME: Lowers image brightness for easier viewing.
PC: For PC.

You can change MTS as shown below to match the television
broadcast signal.

USER: Allows the user to customize settings as desired.
You can set the mode for each input source.
AUTO: Optimizes the image quality automatically based
on the room brightness and image signal.
DYNAMIC (Fixed}: Changes the image and sound
settings to the factory preset values. No adjustments
are allowed.
DYNAMIC: For a clear-cut image emphasizing high
contrast, useful for sports viewing.

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption
decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration
and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. 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 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 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 "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.

Closed Caption
information

= Depending on the number of caption servicesin the
signal being received,you will see information such as
1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means "the first of two services".
Example:
If a program has three services (DigitalCC(ENG),CC1
and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this
sequence:
t

I

The CO button keeps a record of the last service
selected in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) you
selected is not 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 CC button's memory as your
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 "I/2/ENG".
= When "Power Saving" is set to "Standard" or "Advanced",
the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel
information window. See page 24 for details of Power
Saving settings.
= See page 30 for detailed closed caption settings.
= When the program contains no closed caption, "--"
displays in the closed caption information.
= If the language code, e.g. "ENG", is not found 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 of these services at the
discretion of the program provider.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings
and Canadian French ratings)
o 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.

years. Pays careful attention to themes that could threaten
their sense of security and well-being.
08+: Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal
of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way
to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate
dangerous acts which they may see on the screen.
G" General: Considered acceptable for all age groups.
Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little
violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
PG" Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but
may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8)
because it could contain controversial themes or issues.
14+" Over 14 years: Could contain themes where violence
is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but it
must be integral to the development of plot or character.
Language usage could be profane and nudity present
within the context of the theme.
18+" Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and
might contain depictions of violence, which while related to
the development of plot, character or themes, are intended
for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and

o When "PC Audio Select" is set to "Input 6 (HDMI)", sound
will not be produced if you use only an HDMI-certified
cable to connect HDMI-compatible equipment. To produce
sound, you should make an analog audio connection.
o If you want to connect HDMI-compatible equipment using
only an HDMI-certified cable, set "PC Audio Select" to
"Input 4 (PC)".

It is necessary to set the PC correctly to display XGA

When "Auto Sync." is successful, "Completed" displays. If
not, "Auto Sync." failed.
"Auto Sync." may fail even if "Completed" displays.
"Auto Sync." may fail if the computer image has low
resolution, has unclear (black) edges, or is moved while
executing "Auto Sync.".
o Be sure to connect the PC to the TV and switch it on before
starting "Auto Sync.".

Ordinarily you can easily adjust the picture as necessary
to change image position using "Auto Sync.". In some

right.
V-Pos,: Centers the image by moving it up or down.
Clock: Adjust when the image flickers with vertical
stripes.
Phase: Adjust when characters have low contrast or
when the image flickers.
o For resetting all "Fine Sync." adjustment items to the factory
preset values, press A/Y to select "Reset", and then press
ENTER.
o It is not necessary to adjust the "Clock" or "Phase" when a
digital signal is being input, so it cannot be selected.
o The default cursor position may not be in the center,
because the screen position variable ranges may be
asymmetrical.
o The screen position variable ranges depend on the View
Mode or the signal type. The ranges can be seen on the
position-setting screen.

Check the audio output of the connected external equipment. Is the volume too
low or muted?
When external equipment is connected via an HDMI cable, you may need to
configure the audio to be output through the HDMI cable.
When audio is not output from external equipment connected to the INPUT 4 or
INPUT 6 terminal, check the "PC Audio Select" setting. • Page 40
Even when external equipment is connected using an HDMI-certified cable, an
audio cable connection may be required depending on the type of equipment and
the media being played back. In this case, in addition to connecting an HDMIcertified cable to the INPUT 6 (HDMI) terminal, connect an audio cable to the
AUDIO terminal and set "PC Audio Select" to "Input 6 (HDMI)". ,_ Page 40
When connecting a PC via an HDMI-certified cable, check the following:
- Is the audio output of the PC configured correctly? Check the audio output
settings and output audio format in Sound Properties on the PC.
Only PCM format audio can be output. Compressed audio (with a sampling rate
of 32kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48kHz) and DTS format audio cannot be output.
- Depending on the board, only video signals may be output. In this case, in
addition to connecting an HDMI-certified cable to the INPUT 6 (HDMI) terminal,
connect an audio cable to the AUDIO terminal and set "PC Audio Select" to "Input
6 (HDMI)". _, Page 40
If you are using an HDMI-DVl conversion cable to connect external equipment to
the TV, check the following:
- Is an audio cable connected? The HDMI-DVI conversion cable is for video only.
Connect a D 3.5 mm stereo mini jack cable to listen to the audio.
- Is INPUT 6 being used? When the TV is connected to another HDMI terminal, the
audio and video are not output together even if a © 3.5 mm stereo mini jack cable
is connected to the shared AUDIO terminal for INPUT 4 and INPUT 6.
- Is "Input 4 (PC)" selected in "PC Audio Select"? _ Page 40

Cautions

regarding

use in high and low temperature

environments

o 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.
o 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.
