Screen protection

Your TV's screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit the glass screen. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken glass.

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few nonactive pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point. These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance of your TV, and are not considered defects.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of 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 or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Notes:

To display closed captioning on your TV, the broadcast signal must contain the closed captioning data.

Captions and texts may not exactly match the TV voice.

Changing channels may delay closed captioning for a few seconds.

Adjusting the volume or muting the sound may delay closed captioning 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 problem with your TV.

The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the on-screen menu is open.

If a black box appears on the TV screen, closed captioning is set to the Text mode. To clear the box, select CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, or Off.

If your TV receives poor quality television signals, captioning may contain errors, or there might be no captioning at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are automobile ignition noise, electric motor noise, weak signal reception, or multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter).

Your TV retains the closed captioning setting if the power fails.

Closed captioning is not displayed when you are using an HDMI connection.

When your TV receives a special effects playback signal (such as Search, Slow, or Freeze) from a VCR's video output channel (3 or 4), your TV may not display the correct captioning or text.

Problem Solution
Remote control does not work.If you are using an outside antenna, check the condition of the wiring and connections.
Check the remote control batteries.
Make sure that there is no obstacle between the remote control sensor on your TV and the remote control.
Test the signal output. If the signal is good, then there may be infrared sensor trouble.When there is an infrared-equipped device such as a computer is near your TV, the device may interrupt the remote control signal. Move the infrared-equipped device away from your TV, change the angle of the infrared sensor, or turn off the infrared communication function.
Aim the remote control directly at the remote control sensor on the front of your TV.
Reduce the distance between the remote control and your TV.
Make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly. The + and - symbols on the batteries must match the + and - symbols inside the battery compartment.
Misspelled captions are displayed.Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without correcting the misspelling in a live broadcast.
Captions are not entirely displayed, or captions appear after the dialog.Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialog are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display dialog at a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialog exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to ensure that the captions remain up to date with the current dialog.
Captions are displayed as a white box or no caption is displayed in a closed caption-supported program.Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be incomplete.
Broadcasting stations may shorten the programs to insert commercials. The closed caption decoder cannot read the information of shortened programs.
No caption is displayed when playing the videotape containing captions.The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have been read during copying.
Black box is displayed in the TV screen.The text mode is selected for caption. Select CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, or Off.
