Installing the LCD TV
Refer to the owner’s manual of any external equipment to be connected.
When connecting any external equipment, do not connect any AC power cords to wall outlets
until all other connections are completed.
Connecting a TV Cable or an Antenna
Antenna Connection
The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for a black &
white TV reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna
systems.
■ A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable (not included) with F-
type connector that can easily be at tached to a terminal without
tools.
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
■ A 300-ohm system is a f lat twin-lead cable (not included) that can
be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300 -75-ohm adapter
(not include d).

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifi es that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building
accurately, or as close to the point of cable entry as possible. Use of this TV for other than
private viewing of programs broadcasted on UHF, VHF or transmitted by cable companies for
the use of the general public may require authorization from the broadcast/cable company, and/
or program owner.
■ A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup.
When connecting the 75 -ohm coaxial cable to the set, connect the 75-
ohm cable into the ANT. terminal.
■ Some cable TV companies offer premium pay channels. Since the
signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV
converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the
cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of scrambled channels.
(Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,
consult your cable TV company.)
For more specifi c instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company.
One possible method of connecting the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV
company is shown in the diagram below.

Programming Your Remote Control
Searching for your Code
If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if
your brand is not listed, try searching for your code:
Press a device key once.
Press and hold SET UP until the red LED blinks twice; then release.
Enter 9-9-1, then the device group number (0= Cable, 1= TV, 2= VCR, 3= Audio).
The LED blinks twice.
Aim the remote at the device and press . The remote sends IR codes from its
library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code fi rst. If the device
responds, go to step 7.
If the device does not respond, press CH▲. The remote will try the next code.
Continue until the device responds. Press CH▼ to try the previous code.
To search for other device codes, repeat steps 1 to 5.
Press SET UP to save and exit.
Checking the Codes
If you have set up the remote using the procedure in “Searching for Your Code”, you may need to fi nd
out which four-digit code is operating your equipment.
For example, to fi nd out which code is assigned to your TV:
Press TV once.
Press and hold SET UP until the red LED blinks twice; then release.
Enter 9-9-0. The LED blinks twice.
To view the code for the fi rst digit, press 1. Count the LED blinks (for example, three
blinks = 3), and write down the number in the appropriate code listing in step 8
under “Programming a Device”.
If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink.
Repeat step 4 for the four remaining digits, using 2 for the second digit, 3 for the
third digit, 4 for the fourth digit, and 5 for the fi fth digit.
Changing Volume Lock
The remote comes preset to allow independent volume control of each selected device (Global Volume
Unlock). However, you may change the Volume Lock setting to Global Volume Lock so that one
device’s volume will control volume in all other modes. After that, you can perform Individual Volume
Unlock on a selected device to set its volume control for independent operation or Global Volume
Unlock to remove all volume locking.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
LED does not blink when you press a key.
LED blinks when you press a key, but
device does not respond.
LED blinks one long blink.
Remote does not control devices or
commands are not working properly.
CH▲, CH▼, and LAST do not work for your
RCA TV.
No volume on a device.
Channels do not change properly.
SOLUTION
Replace battery with new AAA size battery.
Make sure the remote is aimed at your device and is not more
than 15 feet away
An entry error has occurred (for example, wrong key). Try entry
sequence again.
Try all listed codes for the device. Make sure the device operates with
an infrared remote control.
Due to RCA design from 1983 to 1987, only the original remote
control will operate these functions.
See “Changing Volume Lock”.
If the original remote control required you to press Enter to
change channels, press Enter on this remote after entering the
channel number.
