CAUTION :

As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider than the other. It will fit only one way into a stand-

ard electrical outlet, If the plug will not fit into the outlet, try turning it around. If the plug will not fit either way, the outlet is probably old and non-

standard. You will need to

Antenna Adapter

Antenna/Cable TV General Information

You can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna to receive VHF and/or UHF channels.

Channels 2 - 13 are VHF channels, and channels 14 - 69 are UHF channels. We recommend using an outdoor antenna for better picture quality.

You can receive Cable TV by connecting your local cable company.

Shown below are two basic types of antenna cables. Signals from a home antenna may be conveyed by either type. Cable TV signals will always be conveyed by a 75 ohm coaxial cable.

STARSIGHT CONNECTOR

Antenna/Cable terminals

1 A 75 ohm coaxial cable is generally a round cable with an F-type

connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

F-type connector (not supplied)

2 A 300 ohm cable is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a

terminal through an antenna adapter supplied as an accessory.

There are two separate 75 ohm F-type connector terminals and a con- verter output termina! as shown below.

The ANT-1 and ANT-2 terminals are for connecting a VHF/UHF antenna or a cable TV system. The signal, which is input through the ANT-1 terminal, is also output from the OUT terminal whenever the antenna input is set

to "ANT 2" mode. You can switch between "ANT 1" and "ANT 2" modes

by using the SET UP menu or by pressing the ANT/VIDEO button on the "IV. See page 36.

OUT ANT-2

Note: StarSight is available on the ANT-2 terminal only.

Use to control a cable box or VCR with the TV's Remote Control. The Remote Emitter (supplied) setup allows your Remote Control to tune the

channel on the cable box or VCR.

Notes on the StarSight setup:

• StarSight is available on the ANT-2 terminal only. The 75-ohm coaxial cable ® brings the signals input from the ANT- 1terminal to the ANT-2 terminal when the antenna input is set to "ANT 2" mode using the SET UP menu or by

pressing the ANTNIDEO button on the IV. See page 36.

• To use the StarSight features, plug your -IV into an outlet that always has power running. Do not plug your "IV into a

wall socket that can be switched off,

• Read "Using StarSight" (separate volume) for more information.

Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scram-

bled, a cable TV converter/decoder (cable box) is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This

cable box is necessary for normal viewing of scrambled channels. For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company.

You can choose between viewing unscrambled channels and scrambled channels by using the SET UP menu or by pressing the ANTNIDEO button on the IV. See page 36.

Unscrambled channels will come through the ANT-1 terminal when the antenna input is set to "ANT 1" mode.

The scrambled channels, after decoded by the cable box, will come through the ANT-2 terminal when the antenna input

is set to "ANT 2" mode. Select channel 3 or 4 on your TV to match your cable box's output channel and select channels using the cable box's channel keys.

Notes on the StarSight setup:

• Plug the Remote Emitter into the STARSIGHT CONNECTOR on the back of your "IV.

• Run one wire of the Remote Emitter under the cable box and place the emitter bulb about 2 inches in front of the cable box's remote sensor that receives the remote signals. After you have completed activating StarSight (see page

18), and you have confirmed a correct code that operates your cable box (see page 15), you can peel off the backing of the sticker on the emitter to adhere it. it does not matter which of the emitters you use -- both function in the same

way.

• To use the StarSight features, plug your TV into a power outlet not controlled by a light switch. Do not plug your "IV into the back of your cable box.

• Read "Using StarSight" (separate volume) for more information.

Antenna/Cable TV Connections (Continued)

After antenna cable connections are made, you are still required to connect the VCR using audio/video connecting cables for (stereo) playback of good quality from the VCR (see pages 62 and 63).

Activating StarSight

For your TV to receive StarSight information, you need to activate StarSight.

You complete the process directly through your TV, in simple steps that take only minutes:

1 Follow the step-by-step instructions for connecting your cable box and VCR (see pages 6 to 9). Be sure to position

one bulb of the Remote Emitter in front of your cable box or VCR.

2 Fill out parts A and B of the StarSight Checklist (see page 11).

3 Have your TV's Remote Control handy.

4 Have a telephone nearby to call StarSight's toll-free activation number:

1-800-643-STAR.

5 Follow the procedures below.

If you have a cable box, make sure your TV is tuned to the cable box output channel (usually channel 3 or 4).

Move the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch on your TV's Remote Control

to the "TV" position.

If you have a cable box, tune it to the PBS Station on your StarSight Checklist.

Do this manually or with your cable box's remote control.

If you do not have a cable box, use the Channel Number buttons on your TV's Remote Control to tune your TV to the correct PBS Station. StarSight will search for schedule information on this channel.

Notes on StarSight:

iiii

• StarSight works with almost all cable

boxes that can be operated by a wireless remote control.

• If no schedule data is found, you may be tuned to a wrong PBS Station. Check the PBS Station written on your StarSight Checklist and try again. Or, try tuning to a different PBS Station that is listed for your area in the PBS Stations section (see pages 12 to 14). (If no station is listed for your area, call

1-800-628-STAR for further informa=

tion.)

Activating StarSight (Continued)

Now that you have subscribed, the final step is to test your equipment

setup. Here's how:

1 Press ENTER/TUNE on the TV's Remote Control when you see the

"Congratulations!" message on the screen.

StarSight will now guide you through a series of on-screen displays. Follow the instructions carefully. All you have to do is respond to the on-screen prompts.

Find the cable box and VCR Codes on your StarSight Checklist (see page 11).

If you have listed more than one code for a given brand of cable box and VCR, StarSight lets you test each code until the correct one has

been entered. Make sure the Remote Emitter you have placed previously is posi-

tioned according to the instructions.

With your equipment setup and StarSight activation complete, you will begin to collect StarSight program information. Your s_/stem will

be automatically updated with the latest program information when- ever your TV is turned off or is tuned to your PBS Station (the channel you used for activating StarSight.) Initially, it will take between 4 and

12 hours to collect program information. Do not be alarmed if your StarSight guide is not full right away; it has seven days of program information to collect. In a day or so, your data will be complete and will continue to be updated daily.

Notes on StarSight:

• To maintain StarSight program informa-

tion, always leave your TV power cord

plugged in and your cable box on (if you have one).

• It is important that you leave your VCR off when it is not being used. If you forget to turn off your VCR, a scheduled

recording cannot be done.

That's it! Your TV is now all set up and ready to collect program informa- tion. To learn how to use StarSight, refer to "Using StarSight" (separate

volume).

_SIGHT ®

STAR

When you use StarSight, make sure of the following:

• Leave the cable box on at all times.

• Leave the VCR off whenever you are not watching a video tape.

• Plug the TV into an outlet that is not controlled by a light switch. (Do not plug it into the back of the cable box.)

Problem Try this...

Cable box and VCR are not controlled by StarSight

VCR turns off and on, but will not change channels

No picture-- "snow" • Check the connections between TV, VCR and cable box.

TV is turned off during cable box testing. • Make sure the TV is not plugged into the back of cable box

• Make sure the Remote Emitter is plugged into the STARSIGHT CONNECTOR on the back of the TV.

• Check the placement of the Remote Emitter -- the bulbs should be facing and a few inches in front of the remote

sensor of the cable box and VCR.

• Make sure you have tried all codes for your brand of equip- ment. (See page 11.)

• If you have a cable box, your VCR does not need to char_ge

channels. (The cable box will change the channels)

• Your VCR must be capable of direct tuning, i.e. your VCR's remote control must have a 10 digit number pad.

or into an outlet that is controlled by a light switch.

Leave the cable box on at all times.
