Antennas
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 AVC System.
NOTE
• The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time.
1.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially 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-ohm adapter (Commercially available).
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
Cable TV converter/VCR connection
•Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected.
•Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your System.
•The connection type will determine whether to select “Air” or “Cable” for both ANT-A and B when configuring “Air/Cable” settings.

The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV station to broadcast other information, which could be audio in another language or something completely different like weather information.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts where available.
•Stereo broadcasts
View programs like live sporting events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
•SAP broadcasts
Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound. MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
If stereo sound is difficult to hear.
•Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed mono-sound mode.
NOTE
• MTS only operates while in TV mode.
You can change MTS as shown below to match the television broadcast signal.
