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.
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).

Using external equipment
Up to 16 i.LINK devices can be connected using a
daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.
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 LLINK 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.
i. LINK devices that can be connected to this
TV.
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.
Only o-VHS decks, AV-Hoo recorders and Blu-ray
Disc recorders can be connected to this TV via
i.LINK. Other devices such as oVO 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 LLINK device mentioned above,
device recognition, control, recording and playback
operations may not be possible on some devices.
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).

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 "LLINK
Setup". (See page 39.)
• Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in
the diagram.
• When using the LLINK, 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 OVO recorders, digital video
cameras, computers and computer peripheral
devices which are not compatible with this TV, are
connected to the TV using i. LI NK, other i. LI NK
connections may be disrupted.
• 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.
Ii.L1NK device I~~~~
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.)
• 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.
@-38
Using external equipment
• 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.
• Depending on the i.LINK devices used and the type
of broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust
the recording mode properly. In this case, please
set the "Recording Mode" to "Pass through".

"Active": Power continues to pass through the LLINK
circuit so data can be relayed.
"Inactive": Power consumption is minimized during
stand-by mode. Data cannot be relayed at this
setting.
• When the main power of the TV is in standby mode
(POWER indicator lights off), i.LINK control commands
cannot be received from an i.LINK device. This does not
change even if the "Standby Mode" is set to "Active". To
control the TV from an i.LINK device, turn the TV power
on (POWER indicator lights up in blue).
• Data cannot be relayed between i.LINK devices when all
the following conditions are met: 1) More than one i.LINK
device is connected to the TV with i.LINK cables, 2)
"Standby Mode" is set to "Inactive", and 3) The power of
the TV is in standby mode (POWER indicator lights off).
When the TV is connected between two i.LINK devices in
series, select "Active" in "Standby Mode" or connect the
TV at an end of the series as shown in the diagram.

• 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 for 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 "CC1" and "CC2" services
display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over
the program's picture.
• 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.

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:
..~..~..~.
• 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 stored in the CC button's
memory as your last selected service.
Only
services that you have selected with the CC
button are stored.
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".
• See page 53 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
discretion of the program provider.

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.
Canadian English ratings

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.

Over 13 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended for
viewing with parent.

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.
• If you have a digital cable antenna connected, you can

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.
