to memorize all available channels in your area. (Refer to “Initial Setup” on page 13.)

Note:

• If you have any question about the DTV’s antenna, visit www.antennaweb.org for further information.

• Depending on your antenna system, you may need different types of combiners (mixers) or separators (splitters). Contact your local electronics store for these items.

• For your safety and to avoid damage to this unit, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the antenna input jack before moving the unit.

• If you use an antenna to receive analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more effective than settop versions.

• To switch your reception source easily between antenna and cable, install an antenna selector.

• If you connect to the cable system directly, contact the CAT V installer.

Connection to Cable Receiver or Satellite Box

Use an HDMI or an RCA component video cable to connect the HDMI or the component video input jack of the unit to the HDMI or the component video output jack of the cable receiver / satellite box.

Note:

• To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast signal must contain the closed caption data.

• Not all TV programs and commercials have the closed caption or all types of the closed caption.

• Captions and texts may not match the TV voice exactly.

• Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.

• Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.

• Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts may be used in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This is not a malfunction.

• The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the main menu or functions display is shown.

• If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that the closed caption is set to the text mode. To clear the box, select “CC1”, “CC2”, “CC3”, “CC4” or “Off ”.

• If the unit receives poor quality television signals, the captions may contain errors, or there might be no captions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:

- Automobile ignition noise

- Electric motor noise

- Weak signal reception

- Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)

• The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power fails.

• Closed caption will not be displayed when you are using an HDMI connection.

• When the unit receives special effects playback signal (i.e., Search, Slow and Still) from a VCR’s video output channel (CH3 or CH4), the unit may not display the correct caption or text.
