CABLE TV CONNECTIONS

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.

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

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.

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 CAPTIONINGWITH A VCR

If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed

approximately 10 seconds.

Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played

back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact.

The Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue

(Fast Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and

Pause Modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted

properly.

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.

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

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).

Press the TV/CAP/TEXT 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.

TO MEMORIZE CHANNELS

This TV/VCR is equipped with a channel memory feature which allows channels 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/VCR’s memory. In addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this TV/VCR can receive up to 113 Cable

TV channels. To use this TV/VCR with an antenna, set the TV/CATV menu option to the TV mode. When shipped
