CABLE TV CONNECTIONS
This TV/VCR 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 WITH 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/VCR.

may not appear. In this case, adjust the
antenna for better reception or use an outdoor
antenna.
•When activating the Closed Captioned
Decoder, there will be a short delay before
the Closed Captioned text appears on the
screen.
•Closed Captioned text is only displayed in
locations where it is available.
•If the Call display is on, the Closed Captioning
text will not appear.
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

the screen in English or another language (depending
on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1 or 2).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on
Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
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.
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.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC).
• 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.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen
displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen
or may interfere with Closed Captions.
• 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.
• 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.
TO MEMORIZE CHANNELS
This TV/VCR is equipped with a channel memory
feature which allows channels to skip up or down to
the next channel set into memory, skipping over
unwanted channels. Before selecting channels, they
must be programmed into the TV/VCR’s memory. In
addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this TV/
VCR can receive up to 113 Cable TV channels. To

RECEPTION DISTURBANCES
Most types of television interference can be remedied
by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for
best results. The most common types of television
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms
appear when the TV/VCR is connected to a Cable TV
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local
Cable TV company broadcast.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks
may appear, the picture may
flutter or drift. Usually caused by
interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps or
AC powered tools and
appliances such as drills or hair
dryers.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the
television signal following two
paths. One is the direct path and
the other is reflected by tall
buildings, hills or other large
objects. Changing the direction
or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV/VCR
from the AC power sources before cleaning.
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap
and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR
reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be
clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily
be determined if, during playback of a known good tape,
there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head
cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.
SNOW
If the TV/VCR is located far from
the TV station, in a fringe
reception area where the signal
is weak, small dots may appear
in the picture. If the signal is
extremely weak, the installation
of a larger external antenna may
be necessary.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
(RFI)
Caused by two-way radios, this
type of interference produces
moving ripples or diagonal
streaks in the picture. Some
cases may cause a loss of
contrast in the picture. Changing
the direction and position of the
antenna or installing an RFI filter
may improve the picture.
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION
A slight picture size variation is
normal when you adjust the
CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS
settings.
28
Good Picture Snowy Picture
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback
picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads
are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality
or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a
equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet)
head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally.
If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does
not improve the picture, play it several times before
requesting service.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE T OP COVER.
NOTES: • Video heads may eventually wear out and
should be replaced when they fail to produce
clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use
only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn
out tapes.
