Antennas
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 AVC System.
NOTE
• The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time.
F-type connector

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (not supplied).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
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 (not supplied).
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

Cable converter/VCR connection
• Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected.
• Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your System.
• The connection type will determine whether to select “Air” or “Cable” for both ANT-A and B when configuring “Air/Cable”
settings.

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode
The System 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 System 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.

NOTE
• Once “MONO” mode is selected, the sound remains mono
even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must
switch the mode back to “STEREO” if you want to hear
stereo sound again.
• Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change
the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by
the video source.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your System. 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 Liquid Crystal Television.
“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number. (See page 60 for Secret number setting for parental control.)
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
• 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.

Canadian Rating Systems
• 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.

Canadian English ratings
Rating

Age

Description

Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk
shows, music videos, and variety programming.

Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to
themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.

C8e

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.

General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire
family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

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.

14e

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.

18e

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 portrayals of sex and nudity.

Canadian French ratings
Rating

Age

Description

Exempt programming.

General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but may be integrated
into the plot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.

8anse

General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public audience, but
could contain scenes disturbing to children under 8 who cannot distinguish between
imaginary and real situations. Recommended for viewing with parent.

13anse

Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of frequent violent scenes and therefore
recommended for viewing with parent.

16anse

Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.

18anse

Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme
violence.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
Problem

Possible Solution

• No power

• Make sure the Display and the AVC System are connected correctly. (See page
9.)
• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 21.)
If the indicator on the Display lights up red, press POWER on the Display.
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 20.)
• Has the main power been turned on? (See page 21.)

• Unit cannot be operated.

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper
operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning on the power of the
Display and the AVC System, or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in
after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Remote control unit does not
operate.

•
•
•
•
•

• Picture is cut off/with sidebar
screen.

• Is the image position correct? (See pages 47 and 48.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages
54 and 55)

• Strange color, light color, or color
misalignment

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 33 to 37.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 52.)

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 58.)
• Check the power control settings. (See pages 39 and 40.)
• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.
Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• No picture

•
•
•
•
•
•

• No sound

• Is the volume too low? (See page 24.)
• Is “Variable” selected in “Audio Out”? (See page 57.)
• Is correct speaker output (“External” or “Internal”) selected in “Speaker”? (See
pages 49 and 50.)

Is the Mode switch set correctly? Slide it to the TV setting position.
Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 13.)
Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?

Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 41 to 46.)
Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 52.)
Is the correct input selected? (See page 52.)
Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 77.)
Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 33 to 37.)
Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 57.)

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.
Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
