Closed captions and digital closed captions

NOTE

• Closed Caption might not appear according to the condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.

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 flexible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows 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 “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identified by its own number. The “C1” and “C2” services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program’s picture. Generally, Closed Captions in

English are transmitted on C1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on C2.

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.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed

Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with

Closed Captions.

• Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

• When a Digital TV Program has both Digital Closed Caption and Analog Closed Caption signals, Digital Closed Caption is displayed.

Parental control (V-CHIP)

NOTE

V-CHIP might not function according to the condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.

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 SET menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your password.

(See page 28 for password setting for parental control.)

• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: movie ratings and TV Parental Guidelines.

• 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.

Description

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.

Troubleshooting

• No power

Problem

• 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

• The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.

Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 16.) If the indicator on the TV does not light up, press POWER on the TV.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 7.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 16.)

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning on the power of the TV or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity ( +, – ) aligned? (See page 8.)

• 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?

• Are screen mode adjustments such as view mode choose made correctly? (See page 25.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See page 21.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 11.)

• Check the power control settings. (See page 16.)

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 14 to 15.)

• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 15.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 15.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See page 21.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 16.)

• Is “OFF” selected in “SPEAKERS”? (See page 24.)

• Have you pressed MUTE on the remote control unit? (See page 11.)

• 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.

Troubleshooting-Digital broadcasting

• AUDIO ONLY


• Check the antenna cable. Check that the antenna is correctly setup.

• It is subscription channel. Contact the service provider.

• The channel has audio contents only.

Troubleshooting-PC mode

Problem

• There is no image.

• There is no sound.

• The text is blurred.

• The image is not displayed in the center of the screen.


• Make sure the RGB cable is properly connected. (See page 34.)

• Make sure the output signal of the PC and the input signal setting of the LCD TV set are matched.(See page 35.)

• Some software prohibit video playback on an external display when playing back a video with a notebook PC. This is not attributable to a problem with the LCD TV set.

• Make sure the PC audio cable is properly connected. (See page 34.)

• Check if the mute function activates, or if the volume is set to minimum. (See page

11.)

• Adjust “CLOCK” and “PHASE” using the PICTURE menu. (See page 35.)

• Adjust “HOR POSITION” and “VER POSITION” using the PICTURE menu. (See page 35.)

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.
