A combination antenna receives

normal broadcast channels

VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your

:onnection is easy since there is
only one 751_ (ohm) antenna plug
on the back of your TV - and
that's where the antenna goes.

If your antenna has a round
cable (75 ohm) on the end, then
you're ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin-lead
wire (300 ohm), you first need to

a,.tachthe antenna wires to the screws

ion a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

_ Push the round end of tbe
iadapter (or antenna) onto the

ANTENNA/CABLE plug on the rear
of tbe TV. If the round end of tbe

iantenna wire is threaded, screw it

down tight.

S:me of you may have two sep-

rate antennas. One antenna

need an optional "combiner"
before you can connect to the TV.
See the "Smart Help" section (to

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,

can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image

permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turnthe video source OFF.
Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal 'IV viewing.

• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using
anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when

cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean
dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring

of the cabinet finish.

Round Cable 7512 * A single solid antenna wire normally
matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or

pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or
VCR. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)

Closed Caption * Broadcast standard which 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 pro-
gram is in progress.

Andio/V'gleo Inputs * Located on the rear of the 'IV these con-
nectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio

and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other acces-
sories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound
connection options.

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages
generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific
feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Multichannei Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard
that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel

numbers into the Television's memory circuits. In this way the
Television "remembers" only the locally available or desired
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the

Television control panel through which infrared remote control

command signals are received.

Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV.
Designed for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec-
tions (antenna or cable 'IV), plus channel program memory are
held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved

to a new location.)

Status/Exit * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel
number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear

the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than
waiting for the displays to "time out" or automatically disappear

from the screen).

Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two
strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor
antenna systems. In many eases this type of antenna wire requires

an additional adapter (or balun) in orderto connect to the 75 Ohm

Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and

VCRs.
