Closed Caption (CC)
For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the
aspect to [FULL]. (If viewing with [H-FILL], [JUST],
[ZOOM] or [4:3]; characters might be cut off).
The CC can be displayed on the TV only when the
receiver (such as a Cable box or satellite receiver)
has the CC set to “On” within the device itself. Check
with your Cable or Satellite provider for instructions.
If the CC is set to “On” on both the receiver and
TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI
connection), the CC may overlap on the TV.
If a digital program is being output in analog format,
the CC data will also be output in analog format.
If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the
TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or
output monitor.
Maintenance
First, unplug the power cord plug from the wall
outlet.
Power cord plug
Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals.
(Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.)
Display panel
The front of the display panel has been specially treated.
Wipe the panel surface gently, using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free
cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid
dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount of water)
and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use
this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel,
then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type
until the surface is dry.
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with
fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid
contact with volatile substances such as insect
sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality
of the surface may be adversely affected.
Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in
diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth
dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it
dry with a dry cloth.
Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into
direct contact with the surface of the TV. If water
droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may
result.
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect
sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality
of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or
the coating may peel off.
Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in
contact with the TV for long periods of time.
Pedestal
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is
particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with

Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or
household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the
surface coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth,
follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)
