PREPARATION (Continued)
C!IIIIID
• 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 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm
adapter (not supplied).
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connectanoutdoor antenna.

Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna
B:
Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas

CABLE
• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75ohm 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. (Set your TV to channel 3 or
is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions
consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler
provided by your cable TV company is explained below.

•SETTING CLOSED CAPTION
This TV set is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. "Closed Caption" is
a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects
and home videos to be viewed as captions
Not all programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the
symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed
For each mode, two channels are available:
The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas
and news programs while allowing a clear view of the picture.
The TEXT mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV program
schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

•V-CHIP
• This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents
children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and
the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age
and content.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete
control.
