ANTENNA/CATV CONNECTIONS
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm
cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF
antenna to the antenna jack.
If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire,
use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).
Indoor Antenna
A single pole antenna is supplied
with the unit (MT1132A only),
insert the antenna holder into the
mounting hole on the back of the
cabinet until it locks into place.
Attach the antenna plug to the
antenna jack. Adjust the length
and angle of the antenna rod to
receive the best possible picture.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna

matching transformer (not supplied). Attach the
transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the
antenna jack.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use
of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming
cable to the converter/descrambler box and connect the
output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the
television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the
television to the output of the converter/descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler
box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable
with Scrambled Premium Channels
Converter/Descrambler
This television has an extended tuning range and
can tune most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied 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 service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to
use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set
coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or
an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown
left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune
any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in
the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/
descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box
to tune scrambled channels.

CLOSED CAPTION
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
MT1132A
MT1192A
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 the TV/CAP/TEXT button on the remote control to switch between normal TV and the two
Closed Caption Modes (Captions and 1/2 of Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another
language (depending on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1/2 button). Generally, Closed
Captions in English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of full 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.

3. POWER Button - Press to turn the TV on or off.
4. VOLUME / Buttons - Press to raise or lower the level of the sound.
(MENU Buttons) - Press both VOLUME / Buttons al the same time to display the On-
Screen menu functions.
(SET +/ – Buttons) - Press to select the desired setting during On-Screen operations.
5. CHANNEL / Buttons - Press to select a higher or lower numbered channel set into memory.
(ENTER Button) - Press to enter or select information for On-Screen operations.
(RESET Button) - Press, while in the On-Screen menu mode, to reset the On-Screen picture

For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the
Closed Captions symbol (CC).
• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the
Closed Captioned text appears on the screen.
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in
the Caption Mode.
6. AUDIO VIDEO IN Jack - Audio and video signal cables from an external source can be
connected here.
• 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.

CONNECTION TO OTHER EQUIPMENT
The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the TV
is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the Owner's Manual
provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
This TV 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's memory. In addition to
normal VHF and UHF channels, this TV can receive up to 113 Cable TV channels. To use this
TV with an antenna, set the TV/CATV menu option to the TV setting. When shipped from the
factory, this menu option is in the CATV setting.
The connection diagrams below are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to
accommodate your particular assortment of components. The diagrams are intended to show
