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 set.

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 ANALOG-A and B when configuring “Air/

Cable” settings.

Precautions when playing back PC image data on the LCD TV

Recording formats of image data:

When recording image data on the LCD TV, the recording formats are as follows.

• When recording motion pictures: The SD_VIDEO folder is created and the data is stored in. When playing the card,

the SD_VIDEO recording format is recognized.

• When recording still pictures: The DCIM folder is created and the data is stored in. When playing the card, the

DCIM recording format is recognized.

When playing the card, record PC data in a recording format the LCD TV can recognize.

1. When copying motion pictures from a PC to a card recorded with the LCD TV, first place the pictures in the

SD_VIDEO folder before playing them.

2. When copying still pictures from a PC to a card recorded with the LCD TV, first place the pictures in the DCIM

folder before playing them.

3. When using a new card for copying motion pictures, first format the card and create an SD_VIDEO folder before

placing the data in the folder for playback.

4. When using a new card for copying still pictures, first format the card and create a DCIM folder before placing the

data in the folder for playback.

When creating, revising, or copying images using your PC, the edited images may not playback correctly.

Connecting D-VHS Decks (i.LINK

connection)

Using external equipment

About i.LINK

i.LINK is an interface connection using a serial

transfer system and is able to transfer multimedia

data, such as digital images and digital sound,

between devices that have i.LINK terminals.

i.LINK is a term defined in the IEEE 1394 (Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standard.

Currently, the transfer speeds are at 100 Mbps, 200

Mbps and 400 Mbps, each of them expressed as

S100, S200 and S400 respectively. On this TV, the

maximum speed is 400 Mbps.

i. LINK devices that can be connected to this

TV.

Only D-VHS decks can be connected to this TV.

Other devices such as DVD recorders, digital video

cameras, computers or computer peripheral devices

do not meet the specifications for this TV and

therefore, cannot be connected.

Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK

Only digital programs can be recorded by D-VHS

decks connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK

recording is not compatible with ground-wave

broadcasts or external input signals (INPUT

terminals 1 through 5).

i.LINK connection

Only an i.LINK cable is needed to connect the TV and the

D-VHS deck. (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and AUDIO terminals

need not be connected.)

D-VHS deck

Connecting two or more D-VHS decks

Up to 16 D-VHS decks can be connected using a

daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.

E.g. When only one D-VHS deck is connected:

NOTE

• Please make sure the shapes of the terminal and the plug

match, and insert the plug into the terminal straight, not

on an angle.

• Use either one of the terminals. These two terminals do

not differ in quality or function.

When 3 or more D-VHS decks are connected,

branch connection can be used. With branch

connections, up to 62 D-VHS decks can be

connected.

Cautions regarding i.LINK connection

• Please use S400 type i.LINK cables.

• Some i.LINK devices may not relay data if their power

is off. This TV can relay data during power off, by

selecting “Active” in the “Standby Mode” option in

“i.LINK Setup”. (See Page 58.)

• Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in

the diagram.

• When using the i.LINK, do not turn off the power of,

or pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if those

i.LINK devices are not in use. This may affect the

picture and the sound from a D-VHS deck in use.

• If devices such as DVD recorders, digital video

cameras, computers and computer peripheral

devices which are not compatible with this TV, are

connected to the TV using i.LINK, other i.LINK

connections may be disrupted.

LC-45GD6U(E)-057-062 04.9.24, 7:51 AM57

Using external equipment

Setting the recording mode (i.LINK)

• The function for automatically adjusting the recording

mode of connected D-VHS decks can be turned on

or off.

• Since most of the currently available D-VHS decks

automatically recognize the transfer rates of the

pictures and sound being recorded and control the

recording mode accordingly, you should always set

this Mode to “Pass thru” in normal circumstances.

• Depending on the D-VHS deck used and the type of

broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust

the recording mode properly. In this case, please

set the “Recording Mode” to “Pass thru”.

• Normally, this should be set to “Pass thru”.

Setting the Standby Mode (i.LINK)

• Power consumption during standby mode can be

minimized by changing the setting of the “Standby

Mode” in “i.LINK Setup”.

• When i.LINK is not in use, select “Inactive” in

“Standby Mode”.

Press MENU and the MENU screen displays.

Press c/d to select “Digital Setup”.

Press a/b to select “i.LINK Setup”, and then

press ENTER.

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

Liquid Crystal Television.

“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret

number. (See page 78 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.

Rating

Age

C8e

14e

18e

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.

Notice

■ When you change your address

• If you change your address, please return the

CableCARD to your Cable Provider Company.

• You will need to request a new CableCARD from the

cable provider at your new location.

■ About EAS(Emergency Alert System)

• In the case of a national emergency, natural disaster,

or other emergency situation, Cable MSO will

broadcast an Emergency Alert System Message

(EAS message). When this unit receives an EAS

message, if the level of emergency is comparatively

low, an alert text message will be displayed on

screen. If the level of emergency is high, the receiver

will be force tuned to a details channel.

• Alert text messages will be displayed, and force

tuning will occur, even during paid programming.

Even when force tuning is active, the user can still

change the channel.

• If the unit is force tuned to a channel that has been

blocked by Parental Control, the Parental Control

setting will be given priority.

NOTE

• 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 via digital

cable, but also via Analog Cable (ANALOG-A) or over-

the-air Analog transmission (ANALOG-B).

• When force tuning occurs, Video output from the

MONITOR OUTPUT terminal will also be switched to the

details channel.

• An alert text message does not output from MONITOR

OUTPUT terminal.

• If force tuning occurs during twin picture mode, twin

picture display will be automatically terminated and the

details channel will be displayed on the full screen.

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)
