Before Operating Your Television

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation
is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using
magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.

Power

Y our TV operates on 120 V olts , 60 Hz (29SL82M)/110-220 V olts, 50/60 Hz (26SL72/29SL82) (normal
household current).

Note:

• If the set will not be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the wall
outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the
POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near
the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off
either the TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received
due to interference from the TV.

L Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Insert the batteries

• With your thumb nail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two
batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d marks inside the
compartment.

Cover

Antenna Connections

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 F­type connector that can easily be attached to a
terminal without tools (not supplied).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

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

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

F-type connector

Antenna Connections (Continued)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the
TV set.

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 COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.

• 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. (Place your TV on channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,
consult your cable TV company.) 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: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV’s

Closed Caption

L HOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed
Caption” is a system which allows y ou to view conversations, narr ation,
and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as subscript on
your TV screen as shown on the right.

• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. Please look
for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION
and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are av ailable, CH1 and CH2:

The [CAPTION] mode subscripts dialogues and commentaries of TV
dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture.
The [TEXT] mode displays over the picture other v arious inf ormation
(such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is
independent of the TV programs.

Operation of Remote Control

L Universal Remote Control

With the purchase of your television set you
also have received the latest innovation in
remote control technology. With its easy-to-use
push button keyboard, your Remote can
control your television set and most infrared
remote controlled VCRs, cable TV converters
and DVDs as well.

Note:

• Depending on the model year produced, brand
and type of VCR, cable TV converter and DVD,
some models may not be compatible with the
remote control.

• Some brands may not enable channel
selection until the ENTER button is pressed.

Example:

When you select channel 24,
(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “2”.
(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “4”.
(3) Press ENTER.
For detailed information on the use of the
Cable TV converter Box refer to their operating
manuals.

L Using Your Remote With Your TV

After installing the batteries, set the

DVD-TV/VCR

on the remote to the TV position.

(If you can change the channel of the TV by
pressing

CH UP

L “Identifying” Remote VCRs, cable TV

conveters and DVDs

Your Remote Control has been set at the
factory to operate your TV and many remote
control VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs.
However, in some cases an easy one-time set­up step may be necessary before the Remote
will operate accessory VCRs, cable TV
converters and DVDs.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and
memorizes the remote control transmitter code
for the VCR, cable TV converters and DVDs.

• Once “identified”, the Remote sends the proper
remote signals to operate your accessory.

• This identify step will not have to be repeated
until power to the Remote is interrupted due
to a battery failure.

L USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL WITH A

VCR

Once you make certain the Remote Control
has “identified” your remote controlled VCR
or DVD, the Remote Control is ready to
operate your unit. The various VCR or DVD
function buttons on the Remote Control will
not operate your VCR or DVD if those features
are not already found on your unit.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the
Remote Control is in TV or VCR modes.

• For detailed information on the use of the VCR
or DVD, refer to the operation manual of the
VCR or DVD.

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR VCR:

If your VCR model does not have the CHANNEL
UP function on its remote control, it cannot be
identified using the SEARCH method for identifying.
For such models, please try the DIRECT ENTRY
method of identifying.
Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot longer
when you’re waiting for something to happen, but
the code should be identified within 2 minutes.
Remember, it is only a one-time set-up.
Be careful not to let the VCR scan more than five
channels when the indicator starts to move up. If
you continue holding down the

UP (8)

after five channel scans, the proper remote

DISPLAY

and

CH

code can be passed up, and the two minutes identify
cycle will have to be repeated.
If a channel change does not occur on the VCR
within two minutes, read the identifying instructions
again and repeat the steps. Should a channel
change still not occur the remote will not operate
with the desired VCR.
