connect them to the TV. To do this, you will need a UHF/VHF combiner. (There are different combiners for ciifferent kinds ,of leads. Check with your local electronics store fo:r the kind of

combiner you need.)

Pictured to the right is a

standard combiner.

To connect separate UHF and VHF antennas to your TV:

O Connect the UHF and VHF antenna leads to the appropriate

terminals on the UHF/VHF combiner.

O Press the combiner onto the ANT-A terminal.

procedure

(See illustration on the following page.)

O Connect the incoming cable or antenna to the ANTENNA IN

terminal on the VCR.

O Connect one end of a coaxial cable to the ANTENNA OUT

terminal on the VCR.

Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the ANT-A terminal on the TV.

O Connect an RCA pin-type video cable to the VIDEO OUT

terminal on the back of the VCR. Connect the other end of this cable to the VIDEO INPUT terminal on the back of the television.

_Important:

If you are connecting a Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, _ise an S-Video cable instead of an RCA pin-type video cable. Connect this S-Video

cable to the S-VIDEO OUT terminal on the VCR. Connect the other

end of this cable to the S-VIDEO INPUT terminal on the back of the TV.

O Connect a set of RCA pin-type audio cables to the AUDIO OUT

terminals on the back of the VCR. Use the red cable to connect the right (R) channel and the white cable to connect the left (L)

channel.

O Connect the other ends of these cables to the AUDIO INPUT

terminals on the back of the TV.

If your VCR is monaural (non-stereo), you only need to connect a single RCA pin-type audio cable. Connect the cabl_ to the VCR,

then connect the other end of the cable to the L (LEFT) audio input on the back of the TV.

If your VCR has a video channel switch, set it to "OFF/AV." See

your VCR's owner's guide for details.

You use the ADJUST buttons 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 will adjust:

"Listen to: Stereo/SAP/Mono" allows you to chan_:e the audio reception mode to stereo, separate audio programming (S.A.P.), or

monaural (mono), depending on the type of broadcast you are receiving. As you change this setting, remember l_he following:

• The "Stereo" setting allows you to receive both mono and stereo broadcasts.

• The separate audio programming ("S.A.P.") setting offers you the option of listening to a separate audio pro_am. For example, a station may broadcast news, weat_._er, or a foreign

language soundtrack on the S.A.P. program.

• The "Mono" setting reduces unwanted background noise when the TV is receiving a weak stereo broadcast signal. When you use the "Mono" setting, you will hear the bro_.dcast in monaural

even when the broadcast signal is in stereo.

>Important

Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along with their regular broadcasts. Your TV can decode that information and display it on your TV screen.

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

gram that is being shown. Standard captioning usually fi)llows the dialogue of the characters on-.screen.

Text captioning does not usually relate to the program being shown. It often contains information such a,_ weather or l_ews. Text

captioning often blocks out the program you are watching.

Your TV can decode four different "standard[ captioning" signals

and four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.

However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two captioning signals, or none at all.

To use the closed caption decoder:

Getting Started 65

Using the closed caption decoder (cont.)

uses for closed captioning

Closed captioning was initially designed so tha_ those with hearing

difficulties can enjoy viewing television more. However, closed

captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign language, and

• using the television without disturbing othe,rs.

Important:

If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep in mind that not all broadcasters, video tapes, or laserdiscs supply closed caption signals.

Additionally, captions will not appear if you are playing a video tape that is worn or deteriorated, or if you are switching from

STILL mode or SEARCH mode to PLAY mode on a Laser Disc

player that cannot decode closed captioned signals when usiLng these features.
