T
Cable TV 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 CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the
rear of the TV.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE
If you subscribe to a satellite service or 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 cable, connect the output of
the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the
TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the
converter/descrambler or satellite box to select channels.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH SCRAMBLED
PREMIUM CHANNELS
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels
require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an
cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can
directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

V-Chip enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV. V-Chip reads the ratings for
programming (except for news, sports, unedited movies on premium cable and Emergency System signals), then denies
access to programming if the program’s rating meets the limitations you select. In this case, the program will be blocked.

CLOSED CAPTIONS
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display
Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning
will display text on the screen for hearing-impaired viewers or
it will translate and display text in another language.
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR
Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played
back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact. The
Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue (Fast
Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and Pause
modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Select the CC option in the menu to switch between normal
TV and the Closed Caption Modes (Captions and Full Screen
Text).
CC1: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the
screen in English or another language. Generally, Closed
Captions in English are transmitted on Captions 1.
CC2-4: These Closed Caption Modes will display text on the
screen in English or another language. Generally, Closed
Captions in other languages are transmitted on these
channels.
TEXT: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the
creen with a programming schedule or other information.

S
fter selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect
A
until it is changed, even if the channel is changed. If the
Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the
signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is received
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. Words that 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.
• 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 Mute, may not be seen or may interfere with Closed
Captions.
• 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.
FAQs:
When I press the RECALL or MUTE button, the captions do not appear
Yes, this is normal for this unit. Once the display information disappears, the captions will continue.

RECEPTION DISTURBANCES
ost types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF antenna.
M
Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results if not using cable or a satellite. The most common types of television
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV is connected to a Cable TV system, the
disturbance may be caused by the local cable company broadcast.
IGNITION:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon
lamps, electric drills and other electric appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or other
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the
reception.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small
dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install an
external antenna to improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION:
slight picture size variation is quite normal when you adjust the
A
CONTRAST or BRIGHT setting.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning. The finish on the unit may be
cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts. Mild soap
and a soft, damp cloth may be used.
