IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)  
I 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.  
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding  
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,  
size of grounding conductors, Iocation of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-  
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

I 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 dis-  
connect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equip-  
ment due to lightning and power-line surges.  
I An outside antenna system should not be located in the vi-  
cinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power  
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

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 ANT. terminal.  
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 to 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: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).  
Aposition on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the  
TVs channel keys.  
Bposition on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

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).  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-leadcable that can be  
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm  
adapter (not supplied).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION  
Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.

Adjusting the CLOSED CAPTION Settings  
I SETTING CLOSED CAPTION  
This TV set is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. Closed Captionis  
a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs  
and home videos to be viewed as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).  
Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the “  
symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.  
The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in two modes: [CAPTION] and  
[TEXT]. For each mode, two channels are available: CH1 and CH2.  
The [CAPTION] mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas  
and news programs while allowing a clear view of the picture.  
The [TEXT] mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV program  
schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

I V-CHIP  
This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents  
children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.  
Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and  
the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age  
and content.  
Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete  
control.

The picture is  
spotted.  
Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?  
Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations and  
transmission antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones  
may also cause interference.  
Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may  
cause possible interference.  
There are  
stripes on the  
screen or

I Use in hot and cold rooms (locations)  
When the unit is used in a low temperature rooms (location), 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 LCD panel to malfunction.
