If your antenna has a
round cable (75Q) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it

Push the round end of the
adaptor (or cable) onto the
ANT(enna) IN(put) plug on the

of the adaptor or cable is
threaded, screw it down tight.

Glossary
Round Cable 75Q - A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a
metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a
75il input found on the Television or VCR. (Also known as Coaxial
Cable.)
Display - Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is cur
rently being viewed.
Jack Panel - Refers to the area on the back of the TV cabinet.
On Screen Displays (OSD) - Refers to the wording or messages generat
ed by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature con
trols (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Menu - An on screen listing of feature controls shown on the television
screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Programming - The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers in
the television’s memory circuits. In this way the television “remembers”
only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any
unwanted channel numbers.
<l>
Operation Tips and Notes:
(1) Captions and texts may not exactly match the TV voice broadcast.
(2) Interference may cause the Closed Caption system to function improp
erly.
(3) The caption or text characters will not appear if the on screen menu or
channel number display is on screen. Closed Captioning may be
delayed briefly when you change channels.
(4) If a black box appears on screen, your TV is set to a TEXT mode. To
clear the screen, select CAPTION 1, CAPTION 2 or OFF.
Remote Sensor Window - A window or opening found on the television
control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are
received.
Twin Lead Wire - The more commonly used name for the two-strand
300fi antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems.
In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional adaptor (or
balun) in order to connect to the 75il Input terminals built into more
recent televisions and VCRs.
Reminder - When in the ON position, a continuous display of the current
channel number is shown on the TV screen.
Volume Bar - When in the ON position, this feature displays an on screen
volume bar (which will appeal' whenever TV volume level adjustments are
made.)

purchase, all parts will be repaired or replaced free, but you pay for all labor charges. From

except the picture tube, and for all labor charges. After two years from the day of purchase,
you pay for the replacement or repair of all parts, and for all labor charges.
