EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

13. LIGHTNING

To protect your unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line
surges.

14. POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

15. OVERLOADING

Converter/Descrambler

A/B SwitchSplitter

This television has an extended
tuning range and can tune most
cable channels without using a
cable company supplied
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.

ANTENNA/CATV CONNECTIONS

Separate VHF/UHF Antennas

Connect the 75 ohm Cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF
antenna Twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach the
Combiner to the Antenna Jack.
NOTE:If your VHF antenna has a Twin-lead Wire, use the 300­75 ohm Matching Transformer, then connect the Transformer to
the Combiner.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

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

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a
Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the
Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box
to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television. Follow the
connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use
the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a
two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler")
and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics
supply store. Follow the connections shown left. 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 box to tune scrambled channels.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm
Cable or 300 ohm Twin-lead Wire)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF
antenna to the Antenna Jack. If your combination antenna has
a 300 ohm Twin-lead Wire, use the 300-75 ohm Matching
Transformer.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and
UHF 300 ohm Twin-leads)

Connect the UHF Twin-lead Wire to a Combiner (not supplied).
Connect the VHF Twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm Matching
Transformer.

CLOSED CAPTION

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of

full 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 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).

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.

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

Press the TV/CAP/TEXT button on the remote control to
switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption
Modes (Captions and 1/2 of Full Screen Text).

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on
the screen in English or another language (depending on
the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1/2 button).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on
Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.

• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned text appears
on the screen.

• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.

• 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 MUTING 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.
