temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV
is first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses.
This can make the picture appear distorted or the color
appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7
hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.
24) Always operate this equipment from
a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source only.
25) Always make sure the antenna system is properly
grounded to provide adequate protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section
810 of the National Electric Code).
31) For added protection of your TV from lightning and
power surges, always unplug the power cord and
disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV
unattended or unused for long periods of time.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
Use two “AAA” size penlight batteries (supplied) for the

year depending on how much the remote control is used.
For best performance, it is recommended that you replace
the batteries on a yearly basis or when the remote operation
becomes erratic.
Caution:
•
Never throw batteries into a fire.
Note :
•
•
•
Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects
of battery disposal.
2. Install two “AAA” (penlight size) batteries.
•
•
Do not mix different battery types or combine used
batteries with new ones.
If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the
operating range becomes reduced, replace both
batteries with new ones.
•
If the batteries are dead or if you will not be using the
remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to
prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the captions will
reappear when the signal is received again. If the channels are
changed, the captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in
your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).
Press CAP/TEXT on the remote control to switch between normal TV
and the two closed caption modes (captions and half-screen Text).
Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the screen in
English or another language (depending on the setting of Closed
Captions 1/2). Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted
on captions channel 1 and closed captions in other languages are
transmitted on captions channel 2.
The captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least
interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News
programs will usually show three-line closed captions that scroll onto
the screen. Most other shows provide two- or three-line captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended
periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) images (such as closed captions)
can become permanently ingrained in the picture tube. This type of
damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
• When activating the closed captioned decoder, there will be a short delay before the closed captioned text appears on the screen.
• Closed captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.
• 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 not be seen or may interfere with closed captions.
• Some cable 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.

NOTES:
• The V-Chip function is based on specifications for the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.
• If you want to change your password, follow steps 1 and 2 and select “CHANGE PASSWORD” option. Then enter your new
password.
• The V-Chip function is activated only on programs and tapes that have the rating signal.
• Once you block a program using the V-Chip function, the blocked program cannot be watched based on the content of the show.
When the program starts, “INPUT PASSWORD” will appear on the screen. When you want to release the V-Chip temporarily,
enter the password.
If you change the channel or turn off the TV while the V-Chip function was temporarily released, the original setting will be resumed.
If you return to the channel you were watching, you must re-enter your password to temporarily release your V-Chip function again.
• When you watch the TV through a cable box or VCR with the TV tuned to channel 3 or 4, you must release the V-Chip temporarily
by entering your password. The V-Chip setting will be resumed when you turn the TV off and then on again. Use the cable box
or VCR to change channels in this case.
• When changing the channel with the cable box or the VCR, approximately 10 seconds will pass until the program appears.
• If you forget or lose your password, you can reset it using the following procedure:
- While holding down the VOLUME button on the TV, press “0” on the remote control for a few seconds.
