Preparation
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of tile types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohrn coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
"-1.A 75_ohm system is generally a round cable with F4ype connector _F4ype connector "_
that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially _ 75 ohm coaxial cable (round) avaNable).
2.A 300-ohm system is a flat "twindead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially available). 300 ohm twindead cable (fiat)
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
of internal circuit, etc.)

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 provider). 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 DTVCC.
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 own number. The "CC1" and "CC2" services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture.
In the Closed Caption system, the "T1 (TEXT1)" or "T2 (TEXT2)" services display text that is unrelated to the
program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.

provides Closed Caption service, the closed caption display will toggle in the sequence: CC1, CC2, Tt, and
T2.
o When a digital broadcast provides Closed Caption
service, the closed caption display will toggle in the sequence: DTVCC (actual service), CC1, CC2, Tt, and
T2. CCt, CC2, Tt, and T2 are always displayed.

Examples: Ina case where there are two closed caption services
provided (tor instance, DTVCC and CC1), and DTVCC is displayed as your current selection, if DTVCC is not
broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed.
o When "Power Saving" is set to "Standard" or "Advanced",
