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.

OPERATION  
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.  
Selecting the Video Signal Source  
Before your TV 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  
Auto Volume  
Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, and it is inconvenient to adjust the  
volume every time the channel is changed. “Auto Volume” automatically adjusts the volume of

raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.

SPECIAL FEATURES  
Viewing Closed Caption Information  
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions information that is broadcast along with  
some television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or  
translations into other languages. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television  
programs, so pre-recorded video tapes can also deliver closed-caption information. Check for  
CC  
the closed caption symbol (  
) on the tapes package or your TV program-schedule.
