Advanced Features
On-screen Program Details
Program providers have the option of sending information through the
airwaves along their programs. If this information is available, the TV can
display it up when you press DISPLAY on the remote. To display the on-
screen program details:
1. Press DISPLAY once to bring up the channel marker.
2. Press DISPLAY again to bring up the program title, the program's length,
elapsed time and other program details such as the story line and
whether Closed-Captioning is available.
3. Press DISPLAY again to clear the screen.
Whether all (or any) of the program details are displayed depends on whether
the program provider has sent the information along with the program.
Closed Captioning
Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets
you display the audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen. You can
tell the TV to display closed captioning: a) never, b) whenever it is available,
or c) whenever the MUTE button is pressed.
The TV offers two closed-captioned modes. Select CC1 for full translation of
the primary language in your area. Select CC2 for secondary language
translation, simplified English, or whatever is being broadcast in your area.
Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific
programs encoded with closed-captioning information are applicable. When a
program is closed captioned, the letters CC are displayed in the channel
marker.
Care and Cleaning
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting attachment
for your vacuum cleaner. Be sure to occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots
in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
To clean the TV screen, use a diluted soap and water mixture and a soft cloth.
Do not use furniture polish on the TV cabinet or screen.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow
liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing
drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could cause
damage to the TV.
Caution: If fixed (non-moving) images are left on the screen for long
periods, they may be permanently imprinted on the screen. Such images
include network logos, phone numbers, and video games. Extended viewing
of channels displaying these images should be avoided.
Troubleshooting
Troubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults" that you can correct
without the help of a service technician. If you experience any difficulty with
your TV, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.
