•This TV set is equipped with an internal Closed
Caption decoder. “Closed Caption” is a system
which allows conversations, narration, and sound
effects in TV programs and home videos to be
viewed as captions on the TV screen (see the
illustration).
•Not all programs and videos will offer closed
captioning. Please look for the “
” symbol to
ensure that captions will be shown.
•The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and
TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available: CH1 and CH2.
The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV
dramas and news programs while allowing a clear view of the picture.
The TEXT mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV
program schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV
programs.

•If a broadcast contains Closed Caption data and
MUTE is pressed, the TV set enters CAPTION
mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will
return the TV set to its previous condition.
•Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks,
strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are
poor or if there are problems at the broadcast
source. This does not necessarily indicate a
problem with your TV set.
•If any button is pressed to call up the On-Screen
Display while viewing a Closed Caption broad-
cast, the closed captions will disappear momen-
tarily.
•If no TEXT broadcast is being received while
viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may
become dark and blank for some programs.
Should this occur, switch the CLOSED CAPTION
mode to “OFF”.

Adjusting V-CHIP Settings
■V-CHIP
•This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be
controlled based on FCC data. It prevents children from watching violent or
sexual scenes that may be harmful.
•Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about
the program: the MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA
rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and
content.
•Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines,
both should be adjusted for complete control.
[1] MPAA RATING
RATINGDescription
GGENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted.
PGPARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable
for children.
PG-13PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be
inappropriate for children under 13.
RRESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
NC-17NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED.
XX is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded in the
data of older movies.:
MPAA RATING
Example 1:
When PG-13 in the age-based rating is
blocked, this will also automatically block
the higher ratings R, NC-17 and X.
Example 2:
When R in the age-based rating is
blocked, this will also automatically block
the higher ratings NC-17 and X.

blocked.
Note:
•Age-based ratings can be modified by the content-based ratings, but only in the combina-
tions indicated by an X in the table above.
•Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of

CONNECTION SYSTEM WITH VARIOUS WAYS OF BEING USED
Examples of Various Uses
The Wireless Center outputs pictures and sound via transmission to a television
receiver of this unit. Various manners of use are possible as it is possible to
connect your own main TV and the Wireless Center using a cable.
How the Wireless Center is used
It is possible for the same pictures and programs to be watched separately at
different locations.
It is also possible for separate pictures and programs to be enjoyed by one person
using a television on a second floor while another person is watching on a main TV
in a living room.
Even if the power supply of the Wireless Center is turned off, pictures and sound
can be received by the main TV connected to the output terminals (through) and
enjoyment is therefore possible even with a single television.
•An antenna through output, and a video 1 (through) output are provided at the LC-15L1U Wireless Center.
It is therefore possible for the system to be on without detriment to the advantages of using the main TV currently
being viewed. (Output also takes place when the power supply of the Wireless Center is turned off).
•Only three items of this equipment can be used in the same environment. If more are used, then it may not be
possible to watch television due to mutual interference.

Monitor Output for Picture and Sound Output from AV-IN2/OUT Terminal
It is possible to output picture and sound being received by this unit from the AV-IN2/OUT terminal of the Wireless Center.
Note:
•Pictures and sound you have recorded cannot be used without permission from the copyright owner, other than for personal enjoyment.
•Transmission of pictures and sound from the Wireless Center to the main unit may take some time. For this reason, a picture that is slightly
delayed from the actual picture is displayed on the main unit. When recording pictures and sound on DVD or video while watching the main
unit, it will take about one second from pressing the picture record button on the remote control until actual picture recording starts.
•When recording pictures or watching pictures on another device via the AV-IN2/OUT terminal of the Wireless Center, “AV2-IN/OUT” is set
to “OUT ”.
If the television power supply is switched “off” using the remote control when the “AV2-IN/OUT” is set to “OUT ”, the power supply of the
Wireless Center is also put into a standby state, but output from the AV-IN2/OUT terminal continues as is. Therefore, if the main power
supply of the Wireless Center is switched off, output from the AV-IN2/OUT terminal stops.
*In the following cases, the power supply is in a standby state, but output from the AV-IN2/OUT terminal is possible.
•When television main power is “off”.
•When the power supply button of the remote control is “off”.
•Also in cases when communication is not possible due to some fault, output from the AV-IN2/OUT terminal is interrupted. For the purpose
of power conservation, when output from the AV-IN2/OUT terminal is not being used, it is recommended that the main power of the
Wireless Center be turned off.
*Even if the main power of the Wireless Center is turned off, the antenna output and video 1 are output.

•The radio waves used by the product are high frequency, so that
there are features such as direct advance travelling, reflection,
refraction, diffraction, interference etc., similar to that of light. The
strength of the waves therefore varies depending on the location,
which may cause the pictures and sound to become unclear,
become wavy, or stop.
•Is the distance between the Wireless Center and the television
product too far? Use within a range that the radio waves can reach.
•Are you at a location that is particularly susceptible to electrical
noise?
•Set “DISTANCE” to “FAR”.
•The product utilizes wireless transmissions, so that fast moving

■ 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 LCD panel to malfunction.
(Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C))
■ It is not a malfunction in the following cases.
•There are cases where reception of pictures is not good because of the distance between the main unit and Wireless Center, or
obstacles. Install the main unit and Wireless Center where you can get better pictures by changing the installation location or removing
obstacles.
•There may be bad reception of pictures if a microwave is being used nearby.
•Microwave units and the use of the so called “blue tooth function” (W LAN) on cellular phones or notebooks may impair the quality of
the transmission. If this is the case, switch these devices off.
