This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some
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 tv 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 or satellite 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 A/B switch box (available from the
cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections shown below

ith the switch in the “A” position, tune your

directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

FAQS:

I connected my cable, why can’t I get channels above 69?

Make sure AIR/CABLE is set to CABLE, see page 19. Also, make sure your cable company broadcasts channels in the
range you are searching.

Are the cables included?

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

While in TV mode, press the MENU button and select TV
SETUP using the CHANNEL/Navigation UP or DOWN button;
then press the ENTER button to confirm. Select the Closed
Caption option using the CHANNEL/Navigation UP or DOWN
button; then press the ENTER button to confirm. Select the
desired Closed Caption option using the VOLUME
UP/Navigation Right or VOLUME DOWN/Navigation Left
button; then press the ENTER button to confirm and return to
TV Setup menu. Press the Menu button to exit the menu.

CAPTIONS (CC1-4): 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 and
Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on
Captions 2 through 4.

EXT (TT1-4): The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill

T

he screen with a programming schedule or other information.

t
Select between Text 1 through 4.

OFF: Turns Closed Captions off.

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).

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 volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with

Closed Captions.
Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Caption 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 INFO or MUTE button, the captions do not appear, is this normal?

Yes, this is normal for this unit. Once the display information disappears, the captions will continue.

I entered the Captions mode, but no captions are appearing, why?

If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption mode.

Why is there a big black box on the screen?

Because you are in a Captions mode. Turn the captions off, or select a different Captions mode.

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.
