IMPORTANT:

To aid reporting in case of loss or theft, please record the TV's model and serial numbers in the space provided. The numbers are located at the rear of the TV.

Model No.:

Serial No.:

The lightning ???ash with arrow-head symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated ???dangerous voltage??? within the product's enclosure that may be of suf???cient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

???Outdoor Antenna Grounding ??? 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.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

AUDIO

??? MTS/SAP stereo mode

The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound

and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV station to broadcast other information, which could be audio in another language or something completely different like weather information.

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

Example:

When the input source is INPUT 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 terminals

STANDARD: For a highly de??? ned image in a normal lighting.

MOVIE: For a movie.

GAME: Lowers image brightness for easier viewing.

PC: For PC.

USER: Allows the user to customize settings as desired. You can set the mode for each input source.

AUTO: Optimizes the image quality automatically based on the room brightness and image signal.

DYNAMIC (Fixed): Changes the image and sound settings to the factory preset values. No adjustments are allowed.

DYNAMIC: For a clear-cut image emphasizing high contrast, useful for sports viewing.

???You can select a different AV MODE item for each input mode. (For example, select STANDARD for TV input and DYNAMIC for INPUT 1.)

???When you play games, "GAME" is recommended for AV MODE.

???Stereo broadcasts: View programs like live sporting events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.

???SAP broadcasts: Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound.

MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo).

SAP sound: Listen to a second language, supplementary commentary or other information. (SAP is mono sound.)

If stereo sound is dif???cult to hear.

???Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to ??? xed mono-sound mode.

You can change MTS as shown below to match the television broadcast signal.

Press AUDIO to toggle between audio modes.

Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on some TV programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the discretion of the service provider). It is a more ??? exible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other language codes.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. Please look for the ???N??? symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

1Press CC.

???This will present the Closed Caption information display.

2Press CC while the Closed Caption information is still on the screen.

???Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed caption service.

Air DIGITAL

22.1

???Depending on the number of caption services in the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.

1/2 means ???the ??? rst of two services???.

Example:

If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1 and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this sequence:

???The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory.

If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appears in parentheses, e.g. ???1/3(CC1)???.

Closed Caption services that appear in parentheses will not be stored in the CC button's memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are stored.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identi??? ed by its own number. The ???CC1??? and ???CC2??? services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture.

In the Closed Caption system, the ???Text1??? or ???Text2??? services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.

Examples:

In a case where there are two closed caption services provided (for instance, Digital CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed

as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in parentheses.

A closed caption service appears in parentheses because the service you selected is not available and a different service is displayed on your screen. ???1/1(CC1)??? is displayed instead of ???1/2/ENG???.

???When ???Power Saving??? is set to ???Standard??? or ???Advanced???, the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel information window. See page 24 for details of Power Saving settings.

???See page 30 for detailed closed caption settings.

???When the program contains no closed caption, ???--??? displays in the closed caption information.

???If the language code, e.g. ???ENG???, is not found on Digital TV programs, ???--??? will be shown.

???Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1, Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain none or only some of these services at the discretion of the program provider.
