This unit 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 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the RF IN

Jack on the back of the unit.

For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a cenverter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect

the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the RF IN jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown

below. Set the unit to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the

cenverter/descrambler box to select 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 set- ting of the closed captions CH 1/2).

Generally,closed captions in English are transmitted oncaptions channel 1and closed captions in other languages aretransmitted 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.Titles, foreign languages, and words requiring empha-

sis are underlined or in italics. Words that are sung usually ap-

pear enclosed by musical notes.

For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look

in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).

To view closed captions

Press CLOSED CAPTION to switch between normal TV and the two closed caption modes (cap- tions 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.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR/DVD 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, have the TVNCR/DVD checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: , DO NOT ATTEMPTTO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE TV/VCR/DVD BY REMOVING

THE REAR COVER.

, 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.
