A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the television equipment.
C. If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the television equipment to normal operation.
E. If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.

1. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television equipment, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.

Before Operating Your Television

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.
• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.

Power

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

Note:

• If the set will not be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)
• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off either the TV or the radio.
• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received due to interference from the TV.

■ Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Insert the batteries

Pull up Baterry Cover

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two batteries (size "AA"/1.5 V cc). Be sure to match the battery / terminals with the / marks inside the compartment.

Antenna Connections

Antennas

- The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems:

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).
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 ADAPTOR (not supplied).

F-type connector 75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

Antenna Connections (Continued)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

- Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.

A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.

B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

- Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the TV set.

NOTICE

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable

F-type connector should be finger tightened only

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools.

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set.

(The breaking of Internal circuit, etc.)

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

- A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.

- Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.

Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied):

You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's channel keys.

“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied):

You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler using the converter's channel keys.

■ You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts where available.

• Stereo broadcasts
  Live television transmission of sports, shows, concerts, etc. can be received in dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
  Television broadcast can be received with either MAIN or SAP sound.
  MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack. (Monaural or stereo where available.)
  SAP sound: Second language, supplementary commentaries, etc. (SAP sound is monaural.)

■ If stereo sound is difficult to hear.

- You can obtain clearer sound by manually switching to the fixed monaural mode.

Note:

• Once MONO mode is selected, the TV sound remains monaural even if the TV set receives a stereo broadcast. You must switch the mode back to STEREO if you want to hear stereo sound again.
• MTS while in the INPUT mode does not change the type of sound; in this case, sound is determined by the video source.
• If the “FAO” mode is selected “ON”, the “SPEAKER” mode will automatically turn “OFF”. “SPEAKER” selecting will not affect “FAO” mode.

Closed Caption

■ HOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. "Closed Caption" is a system which allows you to view conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as subscript on your TV screen as shown on the right.
• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. Please look for the “cc” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2: The [CAPTION] mode subscripts dialogues and commentaries of TV dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture. The [TEXT] mode displays over the picture other various information (such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION broadcast, the CLOSED CAPTION will disappear momentarily.
• When viewing in TEXT mode, if no TEXT broadcast is being received, for some programs the screen may become dark and blank. Should this occur, set the CLOSED CAPTION mode to "OFF".

Parental Control (V-CHIP Operation)

V-CHIP

• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program's MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and contents.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for complete control.

[1] MPAA RATING

RATING
age base	G	GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted.
	PG	PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for children.
	PG-13	PARENTAL STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
	R	RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
	NC-17	NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED.
	X	X Rating is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded on older movie's data.

• MPAA RATING (Example)

Example 1.

"PG-13" in the age based RATING is blocked, this will automatically block the high ratings "R", "NC-17", "X" also.

1. User setting G ---- PG ---- PG-13 BLOCK R BLOCK NC-17 BLOCK X BLOCK

2. Block table G not to block PG not to block PG-13 Select block R auto-block NC-17 auto-block X auto-block age base

Example 2.

“R” in the age based RATING is blocked, this will automatically block the high rating “NC-17”, “X” also.

1. User setting G ---- PG ---- PG-13 ---- R BLOCK NC-17 BLOCK X BLOCK

2. Block table G not to block PG not to block PG-13 not to block age base R Select block NC-17 auto-block X auto-block

Note:

Example 3 : Reset an Age Based setting

For "TV-14" and select again "BLOCK" for "AGE".

This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14”.

Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” did not change from its previous settings.

Operation of Remote Control

■ Universal Remote Control

With the purchase of your television set you also have received the latest innovation in remote control technology. With its easy-to-use push button keyboard, your Remote can control your television set and most infrared remote controlled VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs as well.

Note:

• Depending on the model, year produced, brand and type of VCR, cable TV converter and DVD, some models may not be compatible with the remote control.
• Some brands may not enable channel selection until the ENTER button is pressed.

Example:

When you select channel 24,

(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD "2".
(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD "4".
(3) Press ENTER.

For detailed information on the use of the Cable TV converter Box refer to their operating manuals.

■ Using Your Remote With Your TV

After installing the batteries, press the TV/VCR on the remote to select the TV mode. (If you can change the channel of the TV by pressing CH ▲/▼ on the Remote Control, it is the TV mode.)

■ “Identifying” Remote VCRs, cable TV conveters and DVDs

Your Remote Control has been set at the factory to operate your TV and many remote control VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs. However, in some cases an easy one-time setup may be necessary before the Remote will operate accessory VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and memorizes the remote control transmitter code for the VCR, cable TV converters and DVDs.
• Once “identified”, the Remote sends the proper remote signals to operate your accessory.
• This identify step will not have to be repeated until power to the Remote is interrupted due to a battery failure.

■ USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL WITH A VCR

Once you make certain the Remote Control has "identified" your remote controlled VCR or DVD, the Remote Control is ready to operate your unit. The various VCR or DVD function buttons on the Remote Control will not operate your VCR or DVD if those features are not already found on your unit.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the Remote Control is in TV or VCR modes.
• For detailed information on the use of the VCR or DVD, refer to the operation manual of the VCR or DVD.

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR VCR:

If your VCR model does not have the CHANNEL UP function on its remote control, it cannot be identified using the SEARCH method for identifying. For such models, please try the DIRECT ENTRY method of identifying.

Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot longer when you're waiting for something to happen, but the code should be identified within 2 minutes. Remember, it is only a one-time set-up.

Be careful not to let the VCR scan more than five channels when the indicator starts to move up. If you continue holding down the CH ▲/▼ after five channel scans, the proper remote code can be passed up, and the two minutes identify cycle will have to be repeated.

If a channel change does not occur on the VCR within two minutes, read the identifying instructions again and repeat the steps. Should a channel change still not occur the remote will not operate with the desired VCR.
