Digital Television Transition Notice

This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States on February 17, 2009. Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. For more information, please see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government subsidized coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www. dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009.

ATTENTION

If you purchase a universal remote control from your local retailer, please contact the remote manufacturer for the required programming code.

AIR/CABLE MODE SELECTION

When shipped from the factory, the Signal Type option is set to the “Cable” (Cable Television) mode.

If not using Cable TV, set this menu option to the “Air” position.

Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly.

Cable TV connections

This TV 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” where the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.

For subscribers to basic Cable TV service

Antenna					75 ohm Coaxial	For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/
						Descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly
