10 Preparation Inserting the batteries If the remote control fails to operate Liquid Crystal Television functions, replace the batteries in the remote control unit. 3 Close the battery cover. 1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert the batteries (two size (UM/SUM-3) lkaline batteries, supplied with the product). + + Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment. L Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below. Do not use manganese batteries. When you replace the batteries, use alkaline ones. Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications. Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries. Remove batteries as soon as they are worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth. The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove batteries from it. Using the remote control unit Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the Display. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may prevent proper operation. Cautions regarding remote control unit Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity. Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the remote control unit. The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the Display is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or the Display, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor. 9

22 Watching Setting MTS/SP stereo mode The System has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The System with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary udio Programs (SP). The SP feature allows a station to broadcast other information, which could be audio in another language or something completely different like weather information. You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SP broadcasts where available. Stereo broadcasts View programs like live sporting events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound. SP broadcasts Receive broadcasts in either MIN or SP sound. MIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo). SP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary commentary and other information. (SP is mono sound.) If stereo sound is difficult to hear. Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed mono-sound mode. Once MONO mode is selected, the sound remains mono even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must switch the mode back to STEREO if you want to hear stereo sound again. Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by the video source. CBL VCR DVD /ST /LD /D NT-/B Each time you press MTS, MTS toggles as shown below.
