Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like this, see “Antennas with
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads” on next page.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas” on next page.
Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.
1
Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on the 300-75 ohm adaptor (not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2
Plug the adaptor into the
VHF/UHF terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1
Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2
Plug the combiner into the
VHF/UHF terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
1
Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal on your cable box.

Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and
CH buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (manual).
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or a cable system).

1
While you are watching the channel to which you want to return, press the
R.SURF button. The onscreen display will read
“Surf off”.
Surf Off
2
Press the R.SURF button again to set the timer in thirty second intervals, up to five minutes.

Extra Sound Settings
• Auto Volume
Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, and so it is not easy for you to adjust the volume every time the channel is changed. “Auto Volume” lets you automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.
• Melody
You can set a melody to sound when the TV is powered On or Off.
• Surround
“Surround” converts a mono or stereo signal into simulated surround sound.
Once the “Surround” is set to “On”, the setting applies to sound effects such as
Standard, Music, Movie and Speech.
• Turbo Sound
Turbo Sound suitably emphasizes both higher and lower bands of sound (and includes other effects).

Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language translations.
All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded video tapes also provide closed captions. Most pre-recorded commercial video tapes provide closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule and on the tape’s packaging: .
