Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15 Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
16 Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17 Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

18 Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a When the AC cord or plug is damaged,
b If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

19 Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20 Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
21 The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus.
22 WARNING: Plug the power cord into a power outlet where access to the power cord connector is readily accessible in case power disconnection is required.
23 Servicing: The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

■ Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
■ Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. 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.

Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green, or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

■Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments:

When the unit is used in 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)

■ 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.

■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.

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.

Adjusting the picture settings

Choosing OPC

The optical picture control (OPC) adjusts the overall brightness of the screen.

With OPC set to Off, the brightness is fixed at the value set in Backlight. With OPC set to On or On:Display, the OPC sensor on the front of the TV senses the surrounding light and automatically adjusts the backlight brightness. On:Display also causes a label to appear on the screen while the OPC is adjusting the screen brightness.

Adjusting the image

These settings adjust the image you are watching, so select the correct input source before adjusting values.

■Backlight sets the overall screen brightness when OPC is off.
■Contrast sets the image contrast.
■Brightness sets the image brightness.
■Color sets the image color intensity.
■Tint sets tones; decrease to make skin tones more purple, or increase to make skin tones more green.
■Sharpness sets the image sharpness.

■C.M.S.-Hue sets tone; decrease to make tones more red, or increase to make tones more blue.
■C.M.S.-Saturation adjusts the saturation of a selected color.
■C.M.S.-Value sets image brightness; decrease to make image darker, or increase to make image brighter.
■Color Temp sets the white balance in increments from High to Low; choose High for white with blue tones, and Low for white with red tones.
■Black sets the viewing depth automatically by adjusting the dark portion of an image; set to On for high detail in black portions of the image.
■3D-Y/C sets the response for minimal dot crawl and cross color noise for video input signals from Composite Video or Analog In. Choose Standard for normal adjustment, Fast for a movie image, or Slow for a still image.
■Monochrome sets color to monochrome for viewing video without color. Set to On for monochrome.
■Film mode automatically detects a film-based source (originally encoded at 24 frames per second), analyzes, and then recreates each still film frame for high-definition picture quality. Set to On for automatic conversion of a film source.
■I/P Setting is an image compensation setting that converts the input signal from interlace to progressive; choose Slow or Fast. The option is set to Slow when Film Mode is On; it is not selectable when the input resolution is progressive (480p or 720p).

Using Closed Caption

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 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.

HP Pavilion LC3700N - Using Closed Caption - 1

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.

The defaults for CC may be specified by broadcasting station.

■Caption Size selects a caption size.

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.

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 Canadian English rating Description
AgeEExempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming.
CChildren: 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.
C8+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.
GGeneral: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence—physical, verbal, or emotional.
PGParental 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 portrayals of sex and nudity.

Canadian French ratings

Rating Canadian French ratings Description
Age EExempt programming.
G 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 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.

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.

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.
