Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. ■ Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation. ■ Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. ■ The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks. ■ Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as fireplaces, chimneys, radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. ■ The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture details.

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

■ Precautions when transporting the TV — When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speaker. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the Display. ■ Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges. ■ Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.vii ■ 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. ■ To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the top or near the TV set. ■ To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product. ■ To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items. ■ Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling. ■ Use a soft cloth and gently wipe the surface of the TV panel. Using a hard cloth may scratch the panel surface. ■ Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the panel when it is really dirty. (It may scratch the panel surface when wiped strongly.) ■ If the panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it. ■ To protect the panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or chemical cloth to clean it; such materials may damage the panel surface. ■ Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

Note that some interactive or on-demand services may still require use of a set-top box provided by the cable company. For more information, contact your cable company.14 HP Pavilion LCD HDTV User’s Guide About Emergency Alert System (EAS) ■ In the case of a national emergency, natural disaster, or other emergency situation, an EAS message broadcasts. When this unit receives an EAS message, if the level of emergency is comparatively low, an alert text message displays on screen. If the level of emergency is high, the receiver is forced-tuned to a details channel. ■ Alert text messages display, and forced tuning occurs, even during paid programming. Even when forced tuning is active, the user can still change the channel. ■ If the unit is forced-tuned to a channel that has been blocked by Parental Control, the Parental Control setting is given priority, and the EAS message is not broadcast. ■ If you have a digital cable antenna connected, you can receive EAS messages whether CableCARD is inserted or not. ■ EAS messages may be broadcast not only through digital cable, but also through analog cable or over-the-air Analog transmission. ■ When forced tuning occurs, video output from the Monitor Out terminal is also switched to the details channel. ■ An alert text message does not output from Monitor Out terminal.

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 election of the program provider. Digital Closed Caption service is a caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it is indicated by a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English) or SPA (Spanish) or FRA (French), or other language codes. Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed caption. Look for the symbol to ensure that captions appear. In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identified by its own number. CC1 and CC2 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program picture. In the Closed Caption system, the Text1 or Text2 services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed, such as weather or news. These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed. ■ Depending on the number of caption services in 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 (Digital CC(ENG), CC1 and Text1), the closed caption display toggles in sequence. ■ The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory. If the last closed caption mode 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. Closed caption services that appear in parentheses is not retained in the CC button memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are retained. The defaults for CC may be specified by broadcasting station. ■ Caption Size selects a caption size. ■ Font Style selects a font style.

When using Dot by Dot, it is possible to see noise or bars around different outer portions of the screen. Change the view mode to correct this.

When the program contains no closed caption, “--” displays in the closed caption information. If the language code, such as ENG, is not found on Digital TV programs, “--” is shown. 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 election of the program provider.

IMPORTANT: If the TV is forced-tuned to a channel that has been blocked by Parental Control, the Parental Control setting is given priority, and the EAS message is not broadcast.66 HP Pavilion LCD HDTV User’s Guide Setting Parental Control V-Chip level V-Chip is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. 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 television. V-Chip and Status are not selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret number. ■ 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. Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA) Example: If you select PG-13, this automatically blocks the higher ratings R, NC-17, and X.

As a precautionary measure, make a note of your secret number and keep it in a familiar place. If you lose or forget your secret number, initialize the television to return all settings except for the TV channel settings to factory preset values. (See “Returning to Factory Presets” on page 69.) If the secret number is cleared, the Status setting automatically sets to Off. V-Chip and Status are not selectable from the menu.

A70 HP Pavilion LCD HDTV User’s GuideFinding Answers to Questions Finding Answers to Questions 71 Finding Answers to Questions Understanding TV Terms What are Analog TV, Digital TV, and high-definition (HDTV)? Devices such as monitors, tuners, and integrated monitor/tuner combinations designed to handle any of the 18 formats officially sanctioned by the industry-led standard setting, Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), for the digital transmission of video signals. There are three subgroups of digital televisions depending on their capabilities: high-definition (HDTV), enhanced-definition (EDTV), and standard- definition (SDTV). In contrast, US analog television has been available for over 50 years in the single National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) format. This is the signal that has been broadcast over the air and through cable systems. NTSC television offers slightly more than 480 interlaced lines of resolution. What is the difference between progressive and interlaced signal formats for digital TVs? There are 18 standard digital TV signal formats. Each one provides a different picture quality. Digital TV formats are named using a number followed by either progressive (p) or interlaced (i). The letter refers to the way the TV uses the signals to create the picture: ■ Progressive (p) scanning presents all the horizontal lines of the picture in one frame. This provides a sharper picture to the eye and looks much better than an interlaced image of the same resolution. ■ Interlaced (i) means that the picture appears in two segments: every other horizontal line of the picture is displayed in one frame, and the other half of the horizontal lines are drawn in the next frame of the picture. This works because it happens so fast that the eye is deceived into believing that only one picture is being shown. The number refers to the number of lines of resolution, and generally the higher the number, the better the picture. For example, with digital TV (DTV) there are two progressive formats for broadcasters to choose from: 480p and 720p. A 480p image is much sharper than a regular TV broadcast, although it is only considered a DTV signal and not a true high-definition signal. 720p has 720 horizontal scan lines and is considered to be true HDTV. 720p can rival a 1080i picture, which is 1080 horizontal scan lines displayed as an interlaced image. This is because of the sharper and more accurate (progressive) 720p picture, even though 1080i picture has many more scan lines and a much higher resolution. What is variable aspect ratio? The aspect ratio describes the relationship of screen width to screen height. Standard TV signals are based on the aspect ratio of 4:3 (four units wide by three units high). HDTV signals are based on the aspect ratio of 16:9, making the image 33 percent wider than a normal TV and allowing viewing TV and movies as if you were watching them in a theater. In addition, many DVDs look better on the widescreen display because most movies made in the last 50 years were filmed in an aspect ratio of either 1.85:1 (very close to 16:9, which is equal to 1.78:1) or 2.35:1 (even wider than 16:9). Variable aspect ratio support enables scaling of 4:3 and anamorphic video to fill the screen. What is HDMI? High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/ video interface. HDMI components can transmit both digital audio and video over a single cable with improved quality over traditional analog connections due to an all-digital transmission. Transferring digital sources to display such as DVDs and HDTV programming can now be done without analog conversions that can degrade the original signal.72 HP Pavilion LCD HDTV User’s Guide What is CableCARD, and how does it work? HP HDTVs with CableCARD (certain countries/regions only) slots can accept a small card from your cable company that allows you to receive standard-definition and high-definition digital broadcasts without the need for a set-top box. When a CableCARD is inserted into the television, it enables delivery of digital video programming and other services. CableCARDs are provided directly by the cable operator to customers who request them. CableCARD functionality includes copy protection and signal demodulation. Identifying Cable Usage The following section lists all of the cable types available for the TV. It shows a side view of each with its respective connector. Cable type/ connection Description RCA Red and white audio connectors connect to the red and white (L & R) audio inputs. Digital audio High-resolution optical audio cables used for optional external audio system. HDMI HDMI is capable of transmitting both uncompressed digital audio and digital video signals because it has video, audio, and control signals. i.LINK cable 4-Pin 4-pin is generally used for Blu-ray, D-VHS, and AV-HDD to the TV i.LINK port.Finding Answers to Questions Finding Answers to Questions 73 Coaxial antenna RF or coaxial used mainly for antennas.
