Antenna Connection

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm
coaxial cable tothe set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by
the cable TVcompany.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more
specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of
utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please
note: An RFswitch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s
channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the
converter/descrambler by usingthe converter’s channel keys.

Fill All

The Fill All mode stretches the input vertically and horizontally to fill the display from edge to edge.
This mode is the default mode.

Normal

The Normal mode fills the display vertically with a 4:3 aspect picture, preserving the geometry of the
input format.

Wide

The Wide mode only affects displays that are greater than 4:3 aspect. If the picture is less than or
equal to 4:3, this mode acts as if it is in Normal mode. It is intended to display 4:3 images on a 16:9
panel with the least picture deformity. The center of the picture is left unstretched. The left and right
sides of the picture are stretched in a non-linear fashion with the areas of greatest distortion on the
extreme left and right edges of the picture. The top and bottom five percent of the picture are
cropped.

Zoom

If the display aspect ratio is greater than 4:3, this mode fills the panel horizontally, cropping 10
percent off the top and bottom of the picture. If the display aspect ratio is less than 4:3, this mode
crops the picture by 16.5 percent on all sides and fills the panel with the remaining picture.

Viewing Closed Captions

The unit decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows. These
captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign language translations. All VCRs record the
closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded video tapes can also provide closed
captions. Most prerecorded commercial video tapes provide closed captions as well. Check for the
closed caption symbolin your television schedule and on the tape’s packaging:

Note:

The Caption feature works in TV mode only.
Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the symbol to ensure that
captions have beenprovided.

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 fromwatching 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 ageand content.
Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for
complete control.
