Preparation  
Using the remote control unit  
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on  
the TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor  
may prevent proper operation.  
Cautions regarding remote control unit  
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the  
remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.  
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight.  
The heat may cause deformation of the remote control unit.  
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on  
the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the  
angle of the lighting or the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the  
remote control sensor.  
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.  
F-type connector  
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).  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
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).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
F-type connector  
F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.  
NOTICE  
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten  
F-type connector with tools.  
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set.

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.  
The types of audio transmitted in a digital broadcast  
include SURROUND as well as MONO and STEREO.  
In addition, it is possible for multiple audio tracks to  
accompany a single video track.  
Press AUDIO to toggle  
between audio modes.  
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP  
broadcasts where available.

Using external equipment  
Connecting two or more i.LINK devices  
Connecting D-VHS decks/AV-HDD  
recorder/Blu-ray Disc recorder (i.LINK  
connection)  
Up to 16 i.LINK devices can be connected using a  
daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.  
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 IEEE1394 (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.  
When 3 or more i.LINK devices are connected,  
branch connection can be used. With branch  
connections, up to 62 i.LINK devices can be  
connected.  
i. LINK devices that can be connected to this  
TV.  
Only D-VHS decks, AV-HDD recorders and Blu-ray  
Disc recorders can be connected to this TV via  
i.LINK. 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 via i.LINK.  
Even for the types of i.LINK device mentioned above,  
device recognition, control, recording and playback  
operations may not be possible on some devices.  
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. In this case the device should be connected  
at the end of any series of connections.  
• This TV can relay data during power off, by selecting  
“Active” in the “Standby Mode” option in “i.LINK  
Setup”. (See Page 59.)  
Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK  
Only digital programs can be recorded by i.LINK  
devices connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK  
recording is not compatible with analog broadcasts  
or external input signals (INPUT terminals 1 through  
5).  
• Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in  
the diagram.  
i.LINK connection  
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 using the i.LINK, do not turn off the power of,  
or pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if that  
i.LINK devices is not in use. This may affect the  
picture and the sound from an i.LINK device in use.  
• If devices such as a 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.  
i.LINK device  
• When device recognition, control, recording or play  
back, on an i.LINK connected device does not  
function correctly, correct operation may be restored  
by disconnecting and reconnecting the i.LINK cable.  
• When connecting multiple i.LINK devices, depending  
on the specifications and the interoperability of the  
connected devices, their operation may not be stable.  
In that case, disconnecting all devices not in use  
and changing the method of connection may result  
in stable operation.  
Only an i.LINK cable is  
needed to connect the TV  
to i.LINK devices.  
(VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and  
AUDIO terminals need not  
be connected.)

Setting the Recording Mode (i.LINK)  
Setting the Standby Mode (i.LINK)  
• The function for automatically adjusting the recording  
mode of connected i.LINK devices can be turned  
on or off.  
• Since most of the currently available i.LINK devices  
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 through” in normal  
circumstances.  
• 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

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 election  
of the program provider.

2
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 a closed  
caption service which you prefer.  
• Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption  
service available only on digital TV programs (also  
at the election 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 appearance  
of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the  
language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG  
(English) or SPA (Spanish) or FRA (French), or other  
language codes.  
• Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
caption. 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 identified  
by its own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services  
display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over  
the program’s picture.

Closed Caption  
information  
• 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 first 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:  
1/3 ENG  
2/3 CC1  
3/3 Text1  
OFF  
• 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 recorded in the CC  
button’s memory as your last selected service.  
Only services that you have selected with the  
CC button are recorded.  
• 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”.  
NOTE  
• See page 74 to 76 for detailed closed caption settings.  
• When using Freeze functions, closed captions will not be  
displayed on the right-most screen (still image).  
• 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  
election of the program provider.

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 77 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.

or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which  
they may see on the screen.  
C8e

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 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 or over-the-air Analog  
transmission.  
• When force tuning occurs, Video output from the  
MONITOR OUT terminal will also be switched to the  
details channel.  
• An alert text message does not output from MONITOR  
OUT terminal.  
• While TV Guide On Screen is on display, force tuning  
and alert text messages are NOT available and the  
details channel will not be displayed on the full screen.
