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. Only D-VHS decks can be connected to this TV. 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. Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK Only digital programs can be recorded by D-VHS decks connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK recording is not compatible with ground-wave broadcasts or external input signals (INPUT terminals 1 through 5). i.LINK connection Only an i.LINK cable is needed to connect the TV and the D-VHS deck. (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and AUDIO terminals need not be connected.) D-VHS deck Connecting two or more D-VHS decks Up to 16 D-VHS decks can be connected using a daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables. E.g. When only one D-VHS deck is connected: 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 3 or more D-VHS decks are connected, branch connection can be used. With branch connections, up to 62 D-VHS decks can be connected. 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. This TV can relay data during power off, by selecting “Active” in the “Standby Mode” option in “i.LINK Setup”. (See Page 58.) • Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in the diagram. • When using the i.LINK, do not turn off the power of, or pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if those i.LINK devices are not in use. This may affect the picture and the sound from a D-VHS deck in use. • If devices such as 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. 58 Using external equipment Setting the recording mode (i.LINK) • The function for automatically adjusting the recording mode of connected D-VHS decks can be turned on or off. • Since most of the currently available D-VHS decks 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 thru” in normal circumstances. • Depending on the D-VHS deck used and the type of broadcast being recorded, this TV may not adjust the recording mode properly.

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 78 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. Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA) Rating Age G PG PG-13 R NC-17 X General audiences. All ages admitted. Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Restricted.

I 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 System 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 (ANALOG-A) or over- the-air Analog transmission (ANALOG-B). • When force tuning occurs, Video output from the MONITOR OUTPUT terminal will also be switched to the details channel. • An alert text message does not output from MONITOR OUTPUT terminal. • If force tuning occurs during twin picture mode, twin picture display will be automatically terminated and the details channel will be displayed on the full screen. 93 Appendix • No power • Unit cannot be operated. • Remote control unit does not operate. • Picture is cut off/with sidebar screen. • When playing back video in card mode, a part of the image is missing or the image is out of position. • Strange color, light color, or color misalignment • Power is suddenly turned off. • No picture • No sound • Upgrade is displayed continuously.

(See page 63.) • Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 69 and 70) • The video playback setting has been affected as a result of moving the image position when playing back a still image in card mode. It is recommended not to move the image position when playing back images from a card. • Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 33 to 36.) • Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright. • Check the input signal setting. (See page 67.) • Is the sleep timer set? (See page 72.) • Check the power control settings. (See page 38.) • The unit’s internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean the vent. • Is connection to other components correct?

Please contact your Cable Provider Company. Troubleshooting 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.
