THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT
THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING
AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING
THE APPLIANCE.
9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and
the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or
local power company. For TVs intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line
plug(a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with
respect 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. (Fig. A)
14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV
receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due
to lightning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light of power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing
an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects
of any kind into this TV through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this TV
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the TV.
c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions, as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in
proper operating condition.
22. HEAT - This TV product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Check batteries in remote control.
Move the TV away from the nearby appliances which generate a magnetic field.
Turn off using [POWER], then turn it on again 30 minutes later or so.
Check if there is an obstacle between the sensor and the remote control.
Test the signal output.* If OK, then possible remote sensor trouble.
*Tune an AM radio to a band with no broadcasting. Press a button on the remote control toward the radio. Sound will be fluttering
when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control unit is working.
Closed Caption Problem
Tuning System:
Possible Remedy
Misspelled captions are shown.
Spelling errors may pass through uncorrected by the closed captioning production company in a live broadcast.
Channel access:
Text is not shown in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute.
If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that
the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Terminals
Antenna input:
Captions are scrambled with white boxes
on the TV screen.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.
may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
No captions are displayed in a program
which must contain closed caption.
Broadcasters may use a time compression process to the actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. In this case,
captions will be lost since the decoder cannot read the compressed
information.
No captions are displayed when playing a
prerecorded videotape with closed caption.
The videotape may be either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company may accidentally have left out the captioning signals during the copying process.
The TV screen shows a black box.
You are in TEXT mode. Select CAPTION [C1], [C2] or [OFF].
