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. When mounting the product on
a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware
recommended by the manufacturer.
• 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

that this does not affect the performance of your product.
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 TV.
• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• 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

Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV.
NOTE
• The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (Commercially available).
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
adapter (Commercially available).
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
• Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected.
• Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your TV.
• The connection type will determine whether to select “Air” or “Cable” for both ANT-A and B when configuring “Air/Cable”
settings.

Parental control (setting 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
TV.
“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret
number. (See page 65 for Secret number setting for parental control.)
• 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.

Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk
shows, music videos, and variety programming.
Children: 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.
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.
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire
family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
Parental 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.
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.
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.

Problem Possible Solution
• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 18.)
If the indicator on the Display lights up red, press TV POWER on the remote
control unit.
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 8.)
• Has the power been turned on? (See page 18.)

• Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 11.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
• Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?
• Is the image position correct? (See page 51.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages
57 and 58)
• The video playback setting has been affected as a result of moving the image
position when playing back a still image in card mode.
It is recommended not to move the image position when playing back images
from a card.
• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 28 to 31.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 59.)
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 60.)
• Check the power control settings. (See page 33.)

• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 55.)
• Is the correct input selected? (See page 55.)
• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 79.)
• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 28 to 31.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 59.)
• Is the volume too low? (See page 21.)
• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 60.)
• Is “On” selected in “Center Channel Input”? (See page 72.)
Troubleshooting
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a 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)
