Preparing the remote control

To prevent damage from leakage or explosion, follow

the descriptions below. . Insert two supplied R03 (size AAA) batteries with the

0 and O marks correctly as illustrated.

. Do not mix old batteries with new ones or different

types of batteries.

. Do not throw the batteries into a fire, apply heat to

them or take them apart.

. Do not carry the batteries with keys or other metallic

objects.

The remote control can control the CATV converters for the CATV. To control CATV converters, set the manufacturer’s code number shown in the table on the next page.

— TV VCRICATV

POWER —

Number — buttons

— PRESET

— CHANNEL

A/v

Remove the batteries when they have no more power, or when you do not use the remote control for a long period of time.

Point the remote control toward the REMOTE SENSOR.

Set the TV VCR/CATV selector to CATV.

While holding PRESET, press the number

buttonstoset thecodenumberreferringtothe tableon the nextpage.

Some manufacturers have more than one code number.

If the remote control does not operate with the CATV

after setting the code number, try another number.

POWER, CHANNEL /VV and the number buttons

on the remote control are activated.

● Due to the variety of codes used by manufacturers, AlWA

cannot guarantee that the MBR remote control will operate with every model of the brands listed.

● The number buttons can be used only for channel selection,

but they may not function correctly with some CATV converters.

● The remote control may not operate when there is any

obstruction between the remote control and the REMOTE SENSOR.

● Strong ambient light sources such as a fluorescent lamp or

direct sunlight may cause unreliable operation.

● Using a TV with the same type of infrared remote control

facing the same direction may cause incorrect operation.

. The maximum distance for effective control between the

remote control and the REMOTE SENSOR is 7 meters.

● Although you can use the remote control within an angle of

up to 30 degrees in any direction from directly in front of the REMOTE SENSOR, we recommend a narrower angle for stable operation.

CAPTION CH1

● After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect

until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.

● If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break

in the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is received again.

● When selecting closed captions, the captioning might be

delayed momentarily.

● If the channels are changed, the captions might be delayed

momentarily.

“ If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the

closed caption decoder text may not appear. Inthis case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

oWhen activating the closed captioned decoder, there will be

a short delay before the closed captioned text appears on

the screen.

. The captions will appear in places on the screen where they

will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line

closed captions which scroll onto the screen. Most other shows provide two c)rthree lined captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue.

● If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but

the television will remain in the caption mode.

. Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear

during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning, entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editina.

oWhen caption; are being displayed, on-screen displays,

such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with closed captions.

Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.

For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).
