Antenna Connection

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm coaxial cable
to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to 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 the scrambled channels. For more specific
instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the
converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch
provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).

ANTENNAS

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white
television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can
easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75­ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (not supplied).

Viewing Closed Captions

The unit decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows. These captions are
usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign language translations. All VCRs record the closed caption signal
from television programs, so home-recorded video tapes also provide closed captions. Most prerecorded
commercial video tapes provide closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television
schedule and on the tape’s packaging: .

Note:
The Caption feature does not work with YPbPr, D-Sub.

Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the symbol to ensure that

irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.

B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.

C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

Note:

The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating
defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image
patterns for extended periods of time.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent
solution.

• Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the LCD.

• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
