This television has an extended tuning range and
can tune most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box. Some cable
companies offer "premium pay channels" in which
the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals
for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler
device which is generally provided by the cable
company.

If you purchase a universal remote control from your local retailer, please contact the
remote manufacturer for the required programming code.

When shipped from the factory, the TV/CABLE menu option is set to the "CABLE"
(Cable Television) mode. If not using CABLE, set this menu option to "TV" mode.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm
cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF an­tenna to the antenna jack.
If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire,
use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and
UHF 300 ohm twin-leads)

Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied).
Connect the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm matching
transformer (not supplied). Attach the transformer to the
combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.

Separate VHF/UHF Antennas

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the
UHF antenna twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach
the combiner to the antenna jack.
NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the 300­75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied), then connect the
transformer to the combiner.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler
box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the
antenna jack on the back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a
converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the
converter/descrambler box and connect the output of the box
to the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the
connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use
the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a
two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler")
and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an
electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown left.
With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any
nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A"
position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/
descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to
tune scrambled channels.

Note to CATV system installers in the
USA

This reminder is provided to call the
CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC, which
provides guidelines for proper grounding,
and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

Precautions

Installing your TV

• Place the TV on the floor or on a
sturdy platform. The mounting surface
should be flat and steady. If you install
the TV on a soft floor, make sure that
the floor is not damaged by the weight
of the TV.

•

Place the TV far enough away from the
walls to allow proper ventilation. This
will prevent the TV from overheating
and avoid possible damage to the TV.
Avoid dusty areas too.

Using your TV

• Do not stand or climb on the TV.

• Do not put any heavy object on top of

the TV.

• Do not place containers with liquids
such as drinks, aquariums, or lighted
candles on the TV. If any foreign
material or water leaks into the TV,
unplug the power cord and contact
your dealer.

• Avoid displaying stationary images on
your TV screen for extended periods
of time. Stationary patterns (such as
those generated by computer displays,
video games, or stock market reports)
can become permanently engrained
on the picture tube. This damage is
not protected by your warranty
because it is the result of misuse. If
you wish to use your TV to display still
images, reduce brightness and
contrast settings. Never leave a
computer or video game display
unattended.

Cleaning your TV

• To clean the TV screen:

1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet
to avoid possible shock hazard.

2. Use a clean, dry cellulose sponge or
chamois cloth to clean TV screen
and trim. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaning agents. Liquid spilling into
the TV cabinet

may cause electric

shock or damage the TV.

CAUTION

Never use strong solvents such as
thinner, benzene, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet, as they can damage
the finish of the cabinet.

REMOTE CONTROL

Before using the remote control transmitter, batteries must first be installed.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

1. Open the battery compartment cover.

2. Install two "AAA" (penlight size)
batteries.

3. Replace the battery compartment
cover.

Use two "AAA" size penlight batteries
(supplied) for the transmitter. The batteries
may last approximately one year depending
on how much the remote control is used. For
best performance, it is recommended that
batteries should be replaced on a yearly
basis, or when the remote operation
becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new
batteries or different types.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

These precautions should be followed when
using batteries in this device:

1. Use only the size and type of batteries
specified.

2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when
installing the batteries as indicated in the
battery compartment. Reversed batteries
may cause damage to the device.

3. Do not mix different types of batteries
together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc)
or old batteries with fresh ones.

4. If the device is not to be used for a long
period of time, remove the batteries to
prevent damage or injury from possible
battery eakage.

5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended
to be recharged; they can overheat and
rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer's
directions.)

CLOSED CAPTION

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs.
Closed Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate
and display text in another language.

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

Press CAP/TEXT on the remote control to switch between normal TV and the two Closed Cap­tion Modes (Captions and 1/2 of Full Screen Text).

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another
language (depending on the setting of Closed Captions 1/2. Generally, Closed Captions in
English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are
transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
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 or three lined Captions placed near
the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue. 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.

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of full screen with a programming
schedule or other information. 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. If the channels
are changed, the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed
Captions symbol (CC).

• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed
Captioned text appears on the screen.

• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.

• 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, especially with live programs. This is because during live
programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions 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.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not
appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the
antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

TO MEMORIZE CHANNELS

This TV is equipped with a channel memory feature that allows the TV to skip up or down to the
next channel set into memory, skipping over unwanted channels.
Before selecting channels, they must be programmed into the TV's memory. In addition to normal
VHF and UHF channels, this TV can receive up to 113 Cable TV channels. To use this TV with an
antenna, set the TV/CABLE menu option to the TV setting. When shipped from the factory, this
menu option is in the CABLE setting.
