GETTING STARTED

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location for the TV where:

• Air flows freely on all sides.

• The power cord is not in the way
of normal traffic.

Do not plug in the power cord

Note:

until you make all other connections.

CONNECTING
ANTENNAS

The supplied rod antenna provides ad­equate reception in most areas.

To connect the rod antenna, insert it
into the hole on the top of the T V. At­tach the 300-ohm twin-lead connec­tors t o the two s cre w term ina ls o n the
supplied adapter.

Connecting an Outdoor
Antenna

For the best reception, we recommend
you use an outdoor antenna.

Before you connect the TV to an

Note:

outdoor antenna, inspect the antenna
and the antenna’s cable. Severely
weathered antennas and antenna ca­bles can reduce the signal quality.
Your local Radio S hack store sell s re­placement antenna cable (300-ohm
flat wire or 75-ohm coaxial cable) and
a wide variety of outdoor antennas.

The antenna con nection you use de­pends on the type of antenna and ca­ble you have.

If you subscribe to a cable TV service,
connect the cable company’s 75-ohm

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones.

• Set the volume to the l owest set­ting before you begin listening. Af­ter you begin listening, adjust the
volume to a comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high­volume listening can lead to per­manent hearing loss.

Plug the TV’s AC power cord into a

• Once you set the volume, do not

adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.

16-289 .fm Page 8 Tuesday, July 20, 1999 10:57 AM

INSTALLING THE
REMOTE CONTROL’S
BATTERIES

The remote control requires two AA
batteries (not supplied) for operation.
For the longest battery life, use alka­line batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No.
23-552). To ensure consistent opera­tion, change the batteries about once a
year.

Batteries

1. Remove the battery compartment
cover by pressing down an d slid­ing it in the direction of the arrow.

2. Install two AA batteries as indi­cated by the polarity markings (+
and –) inside the compartment.

Cautions:

• Batteries installed incorrectly

might leak and damage the
remote control.

• Do not mix old batteries with

new ones, and do not mix differ­ent types of batteries (for exam­ple, standard and alkaline).

3. Replace the cover.

USING CLOSED
CAPTIONS

Closed captioning displays the audio
portion of a television program as writ­ten words that appear on the television
screen (in a form similar to English
subtitles). Closed captions allow view­ers to read the dialogue and narration
of television programs.

Caption signals are transmitted as part

,

of the TV broadcast and then decoded

,

by the TV to display as words.

Caption Tips

• Sometimes TV stations broadcast
two different caption signals on
the same channel. By selecting

• Your TV might not properly re­ceive caption signals in the follow­ing situations.

Ignition: Black spots or horizontal
streaks appear; picture flutters or
drifts. Usually caused by interfer­ence from an automobile ignition
system, neon lamps, drills, or oth­er electrical appliances.

You are usi ng an old, bad, or ille­gally recorded tape in the VCR
connected to the TV.

An airplane or car is interfering
with the TV signal.

The signal from the antenna is
weak.

Ghosts: Double images appear.
Ghosts are caused by the televi­sion signal following two paths: the
direct path and another reflected
from a building, hill, or other object.
Changing the direction or position
of the antenna might improve the
reception.

Snow: Small dots in the picture. If
your TV is located at the fringe
area of a television broadcast,
where the signal is weak, you
might need to install a special an­tenna to improve the picture.

The program wasn’t captioned
when it was produced, transmit­ted, or taped.

• If you connect a VCR that has a
captioning function, note the fol­lowing.

For the best reception of caption
signals, connect a signal distribu­tor as shown.
