Cable TV connections

This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the RF IN Jack on the back of the unit.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the RF IN jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown below. Set the unit to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

ting of the closed captions). Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on captions CC1 and closedcaptions in otherlanguages are transmittedon Captions CC 2.

Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information. After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed. If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in thesignal, the captionswill reappear whenthe signal isreceived again. If the channels are changed, the captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds. The captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line closed captions which scroll onto the screen. Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Wordsthat are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes. For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your TV GUIDE for the closed captions symbol (CC).

NOTES:

When selecting closed captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds. If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the caption mode.

Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning, especially with live programs.This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be hided. If the OSD display appears, the closed caption will disappear,when the OSD disappear,the Closed Caption will appear again.

Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.

If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

ASPECT RATIO DESCRIPTION

When using the DVD with the internal TV, select 4 3/LB.

The following information applies only when the DVD output is connected to an external TV.

4:3/PS (PS = Pan and Scan) You may select if you have a normal aspect ratio (4:3) TV, although the NORMAL/LB (letter box) is a more common choice. In PS mode, widescreen material will fill the screen, but at the expense of chopping off extreme left and right edges of the original film picture. For this feature to work, the disc must be specially coded. Such discs are uncommon. 4:3/LB (LB = Letter Box) You may select this if you have a normal aspect ratio (4:3) TV. Widescreen material will be shown in pure unaltered form, allowing the entire picture area of the original film to be viewed without any side cropping. Black bars will appear above and below the picture. 16:9 You may select this if you have a widescreen (16:9) TV. Back bars may still appear above and below the picture even if using a widescreen TV. This is because some film directors prefer to use ultra widescreen aspect ratios e.g.

2.35:1. This will normally be indicated on the DVD packaging.
