power-line surges.
16
Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.

Chapter 2 :
Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV
Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV
Your TV will provide you with the best performance if you connect it to an external antenna or
cable system. Follow the directions shown below to make this connection. Please note that you will
normally only have to make one of the connections shown below, not all of them.
All connections will be made to the antenna terminal on the back of your TV. The antenna terminal
is a silver metal post partially surrounded by two plastic tabs. For help in locating the antenna terminal, see “Your TV's Back Panel” on page 5.
Connecting an Antenna
If your antenna ends in a single coaxial lead, simply
press or screw the cable onto the antenna terminal on the
back of your TV.
If your antenna ends in a pair of 300 ohm twin leads, you must use a 300-ohm/75-ohm
adapter (available at your local electronics store). Place the leads underneath the screws on the
adapter, tighten the screws, then press the adapter onto the antenna terminal on the back of the TV.
9
Chapter 2 :
Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV
Antennas with two sets of leads
You might have two sets of leads from your antenna system, especially if you have one antenna for
VHF signals and one antenna for UHF signals.
If your antenna system has both a coaxial lead and twin 300-ohm leads
, you must obtain a combiner (available at your local electronics store). Press or screw the coaxial lead onto the combiner; place
the twin leads underneath the screws on the combiner and tighten the screws. Press the cable from
combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back of your TV.
If your antenna system has two sets of twin 300-ohm leads
, you must obtain a combiner (available
at your local electronics store). Place one set of twin leads underneath the screws on the combiner
and tighten the screws. Do the same with the other set of twin leads. Press the cable from the combiner onto antenna terminal on the back of your TV.
Connecting a cable system
If your cable set-up is not described below, please
contact your cable company for more information.
If your cable system does not require the use of a
cable box
, simply press or screw the incoming cable
onto the antenna terminal on the back your TV.
10
Chapter 2 :
Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV
If your cable system requires you to use a converter box for all channels,
connect the incoming
cable to the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another cable between the OUT terminal on
the converter box and the antenna terminal on the TV. You will need to keep your TV tuned to
channel 3 or 4 and change channels using the converter box.
If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i. e. pay-TV
channels)
, follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug this cable into a splitter
(available at your local electronics store). Connect one coaxial cable between one OUT terminal on
the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another coaxial cable between the
other OUT terminal on the splitter and the B-IN terminal on an A/B switch (available at your local
electronics store). Connect a third coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the converter box and
the A-IN terminal on the A/B switch. Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on
the A/B switch and the antenna terminal on the back of your TV.
When the A/B switch is in the A position, you need to change channels on the converter box (and
your TV should be tuned to channel 3 or 4); when the A/B switch is in the B position you can
change channels on the TV.
Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment
You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of equipment
to your TV. We recommend that you follow the instructions included with the piece of equipment
you wish to connect.
Safety Note
If you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time, or if a thunderstorm is
approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to disconnect your TV from a
rooftop or satellite antenna. You do not need to disconnect your TV from a cable system.

Operating Your TV
Operating Your TV
Once you have connected your TV to an antenna or cable system, plugged the TV in, and put batteries in the remote, you are ready to use the TV. The first thing you should do is program your TV so
it memorizes all of available channels.
Turning Your TV On
1
To turn your TV on, press the POWER button on the remote control. You
can also use the POWER button on the front panel. Make sure your TV is
plugged in before you try to turn it on.
Programming Your TV's Channel Memory
Your TV's memory determines the channels that are available using the VCHW buttons. If a channel is not in memory, you can tune to it with the number buttons, but not with the VCHW buttons.
Follow these steps to program your TV's memory:
1
With the TV on, press MENU twice to go to the “Set-Up” menu.
2
Use the VCHW buttons to select “Reception”, then use the CVOLB buttons to select ‘Air’ or
‘Cable’. If you connected an antenna to your TV, select ‘Air’; If you connected a cable system,
select ‘Cable’.
3
Use the VCHW buttons to select “Memorize Channels”, then use the CVOLB buttons to enter
the “Memorize Channels” process. Again press the CVOLB buttons to begin.
4
Press the MENU button to return to Set-Up menu.
5
Press the MENU button three times to return to normal TV viewing.
Your TV's channel memory will not be affected by a power outage. You will not need to re-program
the memory unless you change the type of cable or antenna connected to your TV.

one by one. The VCHW buttons will not access channels that have
not been programmed into the TV's memory. For more information
about programming channels into memory, see the section
“Programming your TV's Channel Memory” on the previous page.
2
The number buttons (0-9) will take you to any channel, even if it has
not been memorized. To change to a channel, enter its number; the
TV will tune to the new channel when you enter the second digit of
the channel.
3
The PREVIOUS button will take you instantly to the last channel
you were watching.
Changing the Volume
1
To change the volume of the TV set, use the CVOLB buttons on
the remote or on the front panel.

Changing the TV's Channel Memory
Your TV's memory determines the channels that are available using the VCHW buttons. You can
add channels to this memory or remove them from memory. If a channel is removed from memory,
you can tune to it with the number buttons, but you cannot tune to it with the VCHW buttons.
If only one channel has been memorized, then the Add/Delete Channels function searches all the
channel numbers. If two or more channels have been memorized, then the Add/Delete Channels
function searches only those channels numbers in memory.
Adding/Deleting a channel to memory
1
Use the number buttons to tune to the channel.
2
Press MENU twice to go to the “Set-Up” menu.
3
Use the VCHW buttons to select “Add/Delete Channels”, then use the CVOLB buttons to
enter the “Add/Delete Channels” process.

5
If the channel is in memory, then use the CVOLB buttons to delete the channel from memory.
6
If you are going to delete another channel, then use the VCHW buttons until desired channel is
selected. And press the CVOLB buttons to delete the channel.
