Note:

  • To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast signal must contain the closed caption data.
  • Not all TV programs and commercials have the closed caption or all types of the closed caption.
  • Captions and texts may not match the TV voice exactly.
  • Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.
  • Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.
  • Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts may be used in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This is not a malfunction.
  • The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the main menu or functions display is shown.
  • If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that the closed caption is set to the text mode. To clear the box, select "CC1", "CC2", "CC3", "CC4" or "Off".
  • If the unit receives poor quality television signals, the captions may contain errors, or there might be no captions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:
  • Automobile ignition noise
  • Electric motor noise
  • Weak signal reception
  • Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)
  • The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power fails.
  • Closed caption will not be displayed when you are using an HDMI connection.
  • When the unit receives special effects playback signal (i.e., Search, Slow and Still) from a VCR's video output channel (CH3 or CH4), the unit may not display the correct caption or text.

QuestionAnswer
My remote control does not work. What should I do?·Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit. ·Check the batteries of the remote control. ·Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote control. ·Test the signal output. If OK, then possible infrared sensor trouble. Refer to "IR Signal Check" on page 36. ·Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit. ·Reduce the distance to the unit. ·Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/- signs) as indicated. ·When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this unit, it may interrupt the remote control signal of this unit. ·Move the infrared-equipped device away from this unit, change the angle of the infrared sensor or turn off the infrared communication function.
How come the Initial setup appears every time I turn on this unit?·Connect the RF coaxial cable to the unit directly and run the initial setup. ·Make sure to complete the channel scan before turning off the unit.
Why I cannot watch some TV programs.·Make sure autoscan has been completed. Refer to "Autoscan" on page 18. ·Autoscan must be completed when you set up the unit for the first time or move it to a location where previously unavailable channels are broadcast. ·The selected channel may not be broadcasting. ·When autoscan is interrupted and not completed, some channels will not be received. Make sure to complete. Refer to "Autoscan" on page 18. ·The selected channel cannot be viewed by the "Child Lock" setting. Refer to "Child Lock" on page 26. ·The unit requires some kind of antenna input. An indoor antenna (VHF /UHF), an external antenna (VHF /UHF) or an RF coaxial cable from your wall cable/satellite box needs to be plugged into the unit.
How come there is no image from the connected external devices?·Check if the right input mode is selected by pressing [INPUT SELECT] or using [CH▲/▼]. Refer to "Switching Each Input Mode" on page 15. ·Check the antenna or cable connection to the unit. ·When using the Component Video Connection check that the Green (Y), Blue (Pb/Cb) and Red (Pr/Cr) connectors are connected to their corresponding colored jacks on the unit.

Why are captions not displayed entirely? Or, captions are delayed behind the dialogue.·Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to date with the current TV screen dialogue.
How can I set the clock?·There is no clock function on this unit.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This warranty obligation is limited to the terms as set forth below.

WHO IS COVERED:

This product warranty is issued to the original purchaser or the person receiving the product as a gift against defects in materials and workmanship as based on the date of original purchase ("Warranty Period") from an Authorized Dealer. The original sales receipt showing the product name and the purchase date from an authorized retailer is considered such proof.

WHAT IS COVERED:

This warranty covers new products if a defect in material or workmanship occurs and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period. At its option, the company will either (1) repair the product at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, or (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new, or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent or most comparable to the original product in current inventory, or (3) refund the original purchase price of the product. Replacement products or parts provided under this warranty are covered against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of the replacement or repair for ninety (90) days or for the remaining portion of the original product's warranty, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes company property. When a refund is given, your product becomes company property.

Note: Any product sold and identified as refurbished or renewed carries a ninety (90) day limited warranty.

Replacement product can only be sent if all warranty requirements are met. Failure to follow all requirements can result in delay.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED - EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS:

This Limited Warranty applies only to new company manufactured products that can be identified by the trademark, tradename, or logo affixed to it. This Limited Warranty does not apply to any hardware product or any software, even if packaged or sold with the product, as manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers may provide a separate warranty for their own products packaged with the bundled product.

The company is not liable for any damage to or loss of any programs, data, or other information stored on any media contained within the product, or other additional product or part not covered by this warranty. Recovery or reinstallation of programs, data or other information is not covered under this Limited Warranty.

This warranty does not apply (a) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, misapplication, or non-supplied product, (b) to damage caused by service performed by anyone other than company approved Authorized Service Location, (c) to a product

or a part that has been modified without written company permission, or (d) if any serial number has been removed or defaced, or (e) product, accessories or consumables sold "AS IS" without warranty of any kind by including refurbished product sold "AS IS" by some retailers.

This Limited Warranty does not cover:

  • Shipping charges to return defective product.
  • Labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of antenna/signal source systems outside of the product.
  • Product repair and/or part replacement because of improper installation or maintenance, connections to improper voltage supply, power line surge, lightning damage, retained images or screen markings resulting from viewing fixed stationary content for extended periods, product cosmetic appearance items due to normal wear and tear, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of the company.
  • Damage or claims for products not being available for use, or for lost data or lost software.
  • Damage from mishandled shipments or transit accidents when returning product.
  • A product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications.
  • A product used for commercial or institutional purposes (including but not limited to rental purposes).
  • Product lost in shipment and no signature verification receipt can be provided.
