V-Chip
V-CHIP is an electronic  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  rst con 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 con 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.

Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little 
violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

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.

Troubleshooting
          Possible Solution
 Is the volume too low? (See page 13.)
 Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 25.)
 Have you pressed  MUTE on the remote control unit? (See page 13.)
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
Appendix
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.

  Check if you pressed 
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 7.)
 Has the power been turned on? (See page 12.)
 External in uences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operati\
on.  In this case, operate the unit after  rst turning off the power of the TV or unplugging 
the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
 Are batteries inserted with polarity ( e, 
f ) aligned? (See page 8.)
 Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
 Are you using it under strong or  uorescent lighting?
 Is a  uorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor? 
 Is the image position correct? (See page 21.)
 Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See p\
age 16.)
 Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 18 and 19.)
 Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too \
bright.
 Check the input signal setting. (See page 21.)
 Is the sleep timer set? (See page 13.)
 Check the power control settings. (See page 20.)
 The units internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocki\
ng vent or  clean. 
 Is connection to other components correct? (See page 11.)
 Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 25.\
)
 Is the correct input selected? (See page 25.)
 Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 18 and 19.)
 Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 24.)
 Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 30.)
 When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, of ce), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed . 
This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperatur\
e 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 p\
anel to malfunction. 
 Storage temperature:  f4°F to

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 expand\
s and 
contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the T\
Vs 
performance.
 The TV sometimes makes a 
cracking sound.
