CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

This TV/VCR 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 CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on the back of the TV/VCR.
75 OHM COAXIAL CABLE
UHF/ VHF
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 antenna jack on the TV/VCR. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV/VCR to the output channel 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 TV SERVICE WITH SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS
If you subscribe to 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 A/B switch box (available from the Cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/VCR. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV/VCR to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/ descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

If the station being viewed stops broadcasting, the TV will shut off after 15 minutes.
If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder text may not appear.
In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna. When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned
text appears on the screen. Closed Captioned TV programs can be recorded and played back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text
intact. The Closed Captioning text will disappear during Cue, Rewind and Pause modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly. Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.

Page 23
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
Press the C.C. button on the remote control to switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption Modes (Captions and 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. Channel 1 or Channel 2). Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 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 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).
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 the on-screen indicator appears during volume adjustment operation, etc., Closed Caption text will not be displayed.
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.

STEREO
The TV/VCR is equipped with a feature known as Multi-channel TV Sound or MTS. MTS broadcasts greatly enhance TV viewing by bringing you programs with high fidelity stereo sound. MTS also provides an extra channel called the Separate Audio Program or SAP which broadcasters can use to transmit a second language for bilingual transmission or for other purposes.
LISTENING TO STEREO SOUND
When the TV/VCR is turned on or a channel selection is made, make certain that the word "STEREO" appears on the screen. This means that "Stereo" broadcasting is available. You can enjoy stereo sound from the left and right speakers.
NOTES:
When the "Mono" broadcasting is received, no indication is displayed.
If the broadcast signal is not strong enough or clear stereo sound is not
available, press the AUDIO SELECT button to change to mono sound when the SAP setting is "OFF" position. The noise should be eliminated. Press it again to return to the stereo sound.
LISTENING TO SAP (SEPARATE AUDIO PROGRAM)
When the TV/VCR is turned on or a channel selection is made, make certain the SAP is appeared on the screen. This means that the "Separate Audio Program" broadcasting is available. Normally SAP broadcasting has the primary sound (language) and SAP sound (second language or the information). You can select it as you prefer using AUDIO SELECT button when the SAP setting is "ON" position.

RECEPTION DISTURBANCES

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television interfer­ence are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV/VCR is connected to a Cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair dryers.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
SNOW
If the TV/VCR is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture. If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external antenna may be necessary.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS settings.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV/VCR from the AC power source before cleaning. The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be deter­mined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.
Good Picture Snowy Picture
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.
NOTE:•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR
COVER. Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
NOTES
Auto Clock Setting
Notes for Canadian customers regarding the clock feature of the TV-20F243: The XDS signals are carried only by certain broadcast television stations (for example, the signal is carried by most
Public Broadcasting Service stations). You must be able to receive a station carrying the XDS signal to use the Auto Clock Setting to set your TV/VCRs internal clock. If you live in an area that does not broadcast XDS signals, you must set the clock manually. Please see page 16 for instructions on how to manually set your TV/VCR’s clock.
Special note for residents of Newfoundland:
The Auto Clock Setting cannot be used to set the TV/VCRs internal clock to Newfoundland time. The time zone command does not include a setting for the Newfoundland time zone. Trying to use the Auto Clock Setting in the Newfoundland time zone could result in an incorrect time setting or no setting at all. Please set your TV/VCRs clock using the Manual Clock Setting.
