This unit 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.

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 RF IN Jack on the unit. Follow the connections

shown below. Set the unit to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and

use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

NOTES:

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the

screen in English or another language (depending on the set-

ting of the Closed Captions CH 1/2).

Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Cap-

tions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are

transmitted on Captions Channel 2.

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 Captions, look

in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).

•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 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.

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 CLOSED CAPTION to

switch between normal TV and the

two closed caption modes (cap-

tions and full screen text). Closed

captioning will display text on the

screen for hearing impaired

viewers.

The video heads are the means by which the unit 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 determined if, during

playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have

the unit checked by qualified service personnel.

The playback picture has

occasional distortion.

The disc is dirty.

It is in fast forward or fast reverse

playback.

No disc is inserted.

It is in the mode of repeat playback,

memory playback, etc.

The function is prohibited with the unit or

the disc.

Eject the disc and clean it.

Some times a small amount of picture

distortion may appear. This is not a

malfunction.

Insert a disc.

Insert a playable disc (Check the disc

type and Region Number). This is a

Region 1 player.

Place the disc with the playback side

down.

Place the disc correctly inside the

guide on the disc tray.

Clean the disc.

Cancel the parental lock function or

change the parental lock level.

These operations may prevent

proper progression of the contents.
