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
iewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.
v
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
For basic cable 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 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. 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 converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
FAQ:
I connected my cable, but why can’t I get channels above 69?
Make sure the TV (VHF/UHF Channels)/CATV (Cable TV) option is set to CATV (Cable TV), see page 18. Also, make sure your cable company broadcasts channels in the range you are searching.
Are the cables included?
No, the cables are sold separately; visit your local electronics store.

RECEIVING ATSC CHANNELS
You can connect to an outdoor antenna to receive the free ATSC digital channels. The size of the antenna you will need will depend on how far away the television station broadcast antennas are from you. The further the distance the larger the antenna you need. If your unsure of how far you are you can go to http://www.antennaweb.org and put in your zip code to search their database for your distance and the direction of the broadcast antennas. If you’re fairly close you may be able to get away with just a small antenna that will sit on top of your TV set. If you need a larger antenna you can either put one in the attic or outside on an antenna mast.
CONNECTION USING THE FRONT AUDIO/VIDEO IN JACKS
The optimal use for the front A/V jacks are to connect an A/V component that is used only occasionally, such as a camcorder or video game. Connect the Audio/Video output jacks of the external unit to the Audio 2 Input jacks and the Video 2 Input jack.

CLOSED CAPTIONS
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning will display
ext on the screen for hearing-impaired viewers or it will
t 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
Select the CC option in the menu to switch between normal TV and the Closed Caption Modes (Captions and Full Screen Text).
CC: 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.
CC2-4 These Closed Caption Modes will display text on the screen in English or another language. Generally, Closed Captions in another language is transmitted on these channels.
TEXT: The Text Closed Caption Modes will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information. Select TEXT1, TEXT2, TEXT3 or TEXT4.
DIGITAL CAPTIONS
Please see the next page for setting the Digital Caption.
SERVICE 1-6:
These Closed Caption modes will display text on the screen in English or another language. Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Service 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Service 2 through 6.
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 Mute, 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.
FAQs:
When I press the Q. VIEW 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.
NOTES:
• To set the NTSC CLOSED CAPTIONS option, please see page 22.
• For DTV CLOSED CAPTIONS options, please see pages 24 and 25.
