This TV/VCR has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV 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.

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 TV/VCR.

CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming

75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect the output jack

of the converter/descrambler box to the antenna jack on the TV/VCR. Follow the connections shown below. Set the

TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/

descrambler box to select channels.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE

75 OHM

COAXIAL CABLE

If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the

use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the

Cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B”

position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/VCR. With the switch in the “A” position, tune

your TV/VCR to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/

descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the

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.

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.

For television programs broadcasting with Closed Cap-

tions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions

symbol (CC).

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.

CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR

Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played

Press the C.C. button on the remote control to

switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption

Modes (Captions and Full Screen Text).

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text

on the screen in English or another language (depend-

ing on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. Channel 1

or Channel 2).

Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted

on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other

languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.

•When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

•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 the on-screen indicator appears during volume adjustment operation, etc., Closed Caption text will not

be displayed.

•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.

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF

antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television interfer-

ence are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV/VCR is connected to a Cable TV system,

the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.

GHOSTS

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large

objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the

reception.

IGNITION

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or

drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,

neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair

dryers.

SNOW

If the TV/VCR is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception

area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.

If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external

antenna may be necessary.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving

ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of

contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna

or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION

A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or

BRIGHTNESS settings.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV/VCR from the AC power source before cleaning.

The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use

caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.

NOTE: •DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR

COVER.

•Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

•To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

Good Picture Snowy Picture

Auto Clock Setting

Notes for Canadian customers regarding the clock feature of the TV-20F243:

The XDS signals are carried only by certain broadcast television stations (for example, the signal is carried by most

Public Broadcasting Service stations). You must be able to receive a station carrying the XDS signal to use the Auto

Clock Setting to set your TV/VCR’s internal clock. If you live in an area that does not broadcast XDS signals, you

must set the clock manually. Please see page 16 for instructions on how to manually set your TV/VCR’s clock.

Special note for residents of Newfoundland:

The Auto Clock Setting cannot be used to set the TV/VCR’s internal clock to Newfoundland time. The time zone

command does not include a setting for the Newfoundland time zone. Trying to use the Auto Clock Setting in the

Newfoundland time zone could result in an incorrect time setting or no setting at all. Please set your TV/VCR’s clock

using the Manual Clock Setting.

NOTES

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING

The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely

event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be deter-

mined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If

this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting

dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high

quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning

tape in the VCR once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.
