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.
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 diffi cult to hear.
Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fi xed
mono-sound mode.
You can change MTS as shown below to match the television
broadcast signal.
Press AUDIO to toggle between audio modes.

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 fl 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.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identifi 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.
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 fi 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. 1/3ENG) 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.
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”.
Press CC.
This will present the Closed Caption information
display.
Press CC while the Closed Caption information is
still on the screen.
Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed
caption service.
Closed Caption
information
See page 27 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.

V-Chip
V-CHIP is an electronic fi ltering 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 fi rst confi gure
your secret number.
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.
The setting automatically enters "Block" for any ratings
below your selection.
If Status is not set to "On", the confi guration settings will
not work.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings and Canadian French ratings)
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.
On-Screen Display Menu
E: Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information
programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming.
C: 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.
C8+: Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the
preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve confl ict; nor encourage
children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on the screen.
G: General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate
viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical,
verbal or emotional.
PG: 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.
14+: 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.
18+: 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.
E: Exempt programming.
G: General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but
may be integrated into the plot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.
8ans+: General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed
by a wide public audience, but could contain scenes disturbing to
children under 8 who cannot distinguish between imaginary and real
situations.
Recommended for viewing with parent.
13ans+: Over 13 years: Could contain scenes of frequent violent scenes
and therefore recommended for viewing with parent.
16ans+: Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and
intense violence.
18ans+: Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent
violent scenes and extreme violence.

Troubleshooting
Possible Solution
Is the volume too low? (See page 13.)
Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 26.)
• Have you pressed MUTE on the remote control unit? (See page 13.)
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
Appendix
Problem
• No power
Unit cannot be operated.
Remote control unit does not
operate.
Picture is cut off/with sidebar
screen.
Strange color, light color, or color
misalignment
Power is suddenly turned off.
• No picture
• No sound
Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 12.) If the
indicator on the TV does not light up, press POWER on the TV.
Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 6.)
Has the power been turned on? (See page 12.)
External infl uences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operation.
In this case, operate the unit after fi rst turning off the power of the TV or unplugging
the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position.
Are batteries inserted with polarity (
e
,
f
) aligned? (See page 7.)
Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
Are you using it under strong or fl uorescent lighting?
Is a fl uorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?
Is the image position correct? (See page 23.)
Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See page 16.)
Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 19 and 20.)
Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
Check the input signal setting. (See page 22.)
Is the sleep timer set? (See page 13.)
Check the power control settings. (See page 21.)
The unit's internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or
clean.
Is connection to other components correct? (See page 11.)
Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 26.)
Is the correct input selected? (See page 26.)
Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 19 and 20.)
Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 26.)
Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 38.)
When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, offi ce), 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.

Troubleshooting-Digital Broadcasting
The error message about reception of broadcast
Failed to receive broadcast.
E203 Check the broadcast time in the program guide.
The example of an error message
displayed on a screen
No broadcast now.
Error code
E202
Possible Solution
Check the antenna cable. Check that the antenna is correctly
setup.
This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and
contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV's
performance.
The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.
