INSTALLATIO N
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 w ith 300-ohm Flat Tw in 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

OPERATIO N
Mem orizing 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 delet-
ing 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).

SPECIAL FEATURES
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 automat-
ically 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 sig-
nal 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).

View ing Closed Captions
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:
