NOTES: • ALWAYS TURN THE TV/DVD TO “OFF”
BEFORE SWITCHING THE IGNITION OF
THE CAR ENGINE.
• Make sure that the negative terminal of the
battery is grounded.
This set is designed for use with negative
grounding systems only.
• Use the supplied car cord only.

Cable TV connections
This TV/DVD has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable
TV Converter box. Some cable 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 service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler
box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the
Antenna Jack on the back of the TV/DVD.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH
SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS
If you subscribe to 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 electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B”
position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/DVD. With the switch in the “A” position, tune
your TV/DVD to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

Closed caption
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.
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the
screen in English or another language (depending on the setting of the Closed Captions CH 1/2).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are
transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
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.
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the screen
with a programming schedule or other information.
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.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look
in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press CC to switch between
normal TV and the two closed
caption modes (captions and full
screen text). Closed captioning will
display text on the screen for
hearing impaired viewers.
NOTES:
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.
• 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 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.
