HOOKING UP YOUR TV (ANTENNA/CABLE CONNECTIONS)

A

combination antenna

receives normal broadcast
channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF
14-69). Your connection is easy
since there is only one 75Ω
(ohm) antenna jack on the
back of your TV - and that’s
where the antenna goes.

To set the
TV to select only
the channel num­bers in your area,

SMART
HELP

If your antenna has a

round connector (75Ω),

then you're ready to connect it
to the TV.

If your antenna has flat
twin-lead wire (300Ω), you

first need to attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300
to 75Ω adaptor.

Push the round end of
the adaptor (or cable) onto
the ANT(enna) IN jack on
the back of the TV. If the

round end of the adaptor or
cable is threaded, screw it
down tight.

Y

ou may have two separate

antennas. One antenna is
for VHF channels (2-13) and
the other antenna is for UHF
channels (14-69).
For homes with separate
UHF/VHF antennas, you will
need an optional combiner
before you can connect the
antennas to the TV.

losed Captioning allows

you to read the voice con­tent of television programs on
the TV screen. Designed to
help the hearing impaired, this
feature uses on-screen text
boxes to show dialogue and
conversations while the TV
program is in progress.
Note: Broadcast stations will
often use spelling abbrevia­tions, symbols, dropouts and
other grammatical shortcuts in
order to keep pace with the
on-screen action. These factors
vary with the source of the
captioned text material and do
not indicate a need for TV ser­vice.

Closed
Captions will be
delayed briefly when
you mute or adjust
the volume, change
channels, or press
the STATUS/EXIT
