Before Operating Your Television

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation

is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys

using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from this TV set.

Power

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you

are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an

electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

NOTE:

• If the set will not be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the wall

outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the

POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located

near the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn

off either the TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received

due to the interference of the TV.

Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Insert the batteries

Pull up

Battery

Cover

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two

batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d marks inside the

compartment.

Antenna Connections

Antennas

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for

black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly

recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various

antenna systems:

F-type connector

1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector

that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not

supplied). The F-type connector should be finger tightened

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

only.

2. A 300 ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached

to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR (not

supplied).

• A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm

coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.

• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay

channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber

by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled

channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,

consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your

cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your

cable TV company is explained below.

Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV’s

channel keys.

“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

descrambler using the converter’s channel keys.

Closed Caption

HOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed

Caption” is a system which allows you to view conversations, narration,

and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as subscript on

your TV screen as shown on the right.

• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. Please look

for the “

” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION

and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:

VOLUME

(+)/(–)

The [CAPTION] mode subscripts dialogues and commentaries of TV

dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture.

• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION

broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.

• When viewing in TEXT mode, if no TEXT broadcast is being received, for some programs the screen

may become dark and blank. Should this occur, set the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.

Operation of Remote Control

“Identifying” Remote VCR and Cable TV

Converters

Universal Remote Control

With the purchase of your television set you

also have received the latest innovation in

remote control technology. With its easy-to-

use push-button keypad, your Remote can

control your television set and most infrared

remote-controlled VCRs and cable TV

converters as well.

Your Remote Control has been set at the

factory to operate your TV and many remote

control VCRs and Cable Converters. However,

in some cases an easy one-time set-up step

may be necessary before the Remote will

operate accessory VCRs and Cable

Converters.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and

memorizes the remote control transmitter code

for the VCR or Cable Converter.

• Once “identified”, the Remote sends the proper

remote signals to operate your accessory.

• This identify step will not have to be repeated

until power to the Remote is interrupted due

to a battery failure.

NOTE:

• Depending on the model, year produced,

brand and type of VCR, some models may

not be compatible with the remote control.

• Some brands of VCR or Cable TV converter

Box may not enable channel selection until

the ENTER is pressed.

Example:

When you select channel 24,

(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “2”.

(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “4”.

(3) Press ENTER.

For detailed information on the use of the VCR

or Cable TV converter Box refer to their

operating manuals.

Using Your Remote Control With a VCR

Once you make certain the Remote Control

has “identified” your remote controlled VCR,

the Remote Control is ready to operate your

unit. The various VCR function buttons on the

Remote Control will not operate your VCR

if those features are not already found on

your unit.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the

Remote Control is in TV or CATV modes.

• For detailed information on the use of the VCR,

refer to the operation manual of the VCR.

Using Your Remote With Your TV

After installing the batteries, set the TV-CATV

on the remote to the TV position. (If you can

change the channel of the TV by pressing

CH UP (8) or DOWN (9) on the Remote

Control, it is in the TV position.)

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR VCR:

If your VCR model does not have the CHANNEL

UP function on its remote control, it cannot be

identified using the SEARCH method of identifying.

For such models, please try the DIRECT ENTRY

method of identifying.

Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot longer

when you’re waiting for something to happen, but

the code should be identified within two minutes.

Remember, it is only a one-time set-up.

Be careful not to let the VCR scan more than five

channels when the indicator starts to move up.

If you continue holding down the DISPLAY and

CH UP (8) after five channel scans, the proper

remote code can be passed up, and the two minute

identify cycle will have to be repeated.

If a channel change does not occur on the VCR

within two minutes, read the identifying instructions

again and repeat the steps. Should a channel

change still not occur the remote will not operate

with the desired VCR.

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR CABLE

CONVERTER:

Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot

longer when you’re waiting for something to

happen, but the code should be identified

within two minutes. Remember, it is only a

one-time set-up.

Be careful not to let the CATV converter scan

more than five channels when the indicator

starts to move up. If you continue holding down

the DISPLAY and CH UP (8) after five channel

scans, the proper remote code can be passed

up, and the two minute identify cycle will have

to be repeated.

If a channel change does not occur on the cable

converter within two minutes, read the

identifying instructions again and repeat the

steps. Should a channel change still not occur,

the remote will not operate with the desired

converter.
