To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,

plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.

t .A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F4ype connector _Fqype connector

that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially _ 75 ohm coaxial cable (round)
available).

2.A 300 ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached ........................................

to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-0hm adapter (Commercially
available). 300 ohm twinqead cable (flat)

F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type
connector with tools.

if tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking 75+ohm coaxial cable

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption
decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration

and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed
Captions are available on some TV programs and on

some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the
program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service
available only on digital TV programs (also at the

discretion of the service provide0. It is a more flexible
system than the original Closed Caption system,
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font

styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in
use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3qetter

abbreviation that also indicates the language of the
Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),
FRA (French) or other language codes.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captions. Please look for the "[_]" symbol to ensure

that captions will be shown.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its

being viewed.

information

o Depending on the number of caption services in the

signal being received, you will see information such as

1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means "the first ot two services".

Example:
If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CCt

and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this
sequence:

1/3 ENG_ 2/3 CC1_ 3/3 3bxtl _Off

, The CC button keeps a record ot the last service

selected in its memory.

services provided (for instance, Digital CC(ENG)
and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as your
current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast
for the next program, the other closed caption
service, CC1, will be displayed in parentheses.
