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.
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).
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm twin-leads)
Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied).
Connect the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied). Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.
Separate VHF/UHF Antennas
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the
UHF antenna twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.
NOTE:If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the
300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied), then connect the transformer to the combiner.
For Subscribers of 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 television.
For Subscribers of 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 of Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels
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 on 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?
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 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.
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 1/3 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.
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.
• 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.
