equipment you will need

If UHF and VHF signals are brought into your home with two
separate antennas, you'll need to combine the anten:aas into a single
wire to connect them to the TV. To do this you will need a UHF/
VHF combiner. (There are different combiners for different kinds
of leads. Check with your local electronics store far the kind of
combiner you need.)

Pictured below is a standard combiner.

To connect separate UHF and VHF antennas to your television:

Adjusting the sound

You can adjust all of your television's sound functions by using a
pair of buttons: select a function with the AUDIO l_utton and
adjust the function with the ADJUST button or right/left button.

You use the ADJUST button to:

• select a position (e.g., stereo),

• increase or decrease the function (e.g., bass), or

• shift from one end of a scale to the other (e.g., balance).

After adjusting the sound, an on-screen display will indicate the
function and level you've selected.

what you'll adjust:

"Listen to: Stereo/SAP/Mono" allows you to change the audio recep-
tion mode to stereo, separate audio programming ,IS.._P), or monau-
ral (mono), depending on the type of broadcast you are receiving.

As you select the reception mode, remember the following:

F)Important:

° The "Stereo" setting allows you to receive both mono and stereo

broadcasts.

The separate audio programming ("SAP") setting offers you the
option of listening to either of two separate audio programs.
For example, a combination television/radio stati _n may broad-
cast through the TV.

The "Mono" setting reduces unwanted background noise when a
stereo broadcast is coming in weak. When you use the "Mono"
setting, you will hear the broadcast in monaural even when the

broadcast signal is in stereo.

An on-screen display appears when programs are broadcast in
stereo or when separate audio programming (SAP) i_ available.

"Bass" controls the volume of low frequency sound.

"Treble" controls the volume of high frequency sound.

"Balance" adjusts the level of sound between the left and right
speakers.

"Surround: Off/Simulate/Hall" allows you to simulate or expand
stereo sound.

• "Off' does not change the sound.

Getting Started 61

• "Simulate" gives you a pseudo-stereo effect when receiving
monaural sound broadcasts.

• "Hall" makes stereo sound seem wider and extend around
behind you.

'Speaker On/Off' turns the TV speakers on or off. Set to "On" for
normal operation. Set to "Off' if you connected yo_r TV to an
audio system.

Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts.

There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:
"standard" and "text." Standard captioning i,,_related to the pro-

gram that is being shown. Standard captioning usually follows the
dialogue of the characters on-screen. Text captioning does not

usually relate to the program being shown. Is often contains
information such as weather or news. Text captioning often blocks
out your view of the program you are watching.
Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals
and four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.

To use the closed caption decoder:

uses for closed captioning

Closed captioning can be used in many ways, _,+uchas:

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign language, and

• using the television without disturbing other_.

If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep in mind
that not all broadcasters, video tapes, or laserdisc,,+ supply closed

caption signals.

Closed captions will not appear if you are playing a video tape that
is worn or old.
