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

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.)

OPERATION  
Memorizing the Channels  
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and

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  
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.

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.

SPECIAL FEATURES  
Customizing Your Remote Control  
Your TV comes equipped with a universal remote control. In addition to controlling the TV, the  
universal remote control can also operate a VCR, Cable box, DVD and Set-Top Box made by

The remote control might not be compatible with all VCRs, DVD players and Cable boxes.

page for your brand of VCR (Cable box or DVD player).  
œ If your VCR (Cable box or

but try one of the other codes  
listed for the brand of your  
particular VCR (Cable box or  
DVD player).  
5
Press the POWER button on the remote control. Your VCR (Cable box or  
DVD player) should turn on. If your VCR (Cable box or DVD player) turns

APPENDIX  
Cleaning and Maintaining Your TV  
With proper care, your TV unit will give you many years of service. Please follow these  
guidelines to get the maximum performance from your TV.  
Placement  
• Do not place the TV near extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.  
• Do not place the TV near appliances with electric motors that create magnetic fields, such as  
vacuum cleaners.  
• Keep the ventilation openings clear; do not place the TV on a soft surface, such as cloth or paper.  
• Place the TV in a vertical position only.  
Liquids  
• Do not handle liquids near or on the TV. Liquids that spill into it can cause serious damage.  
Cabinet  
• Never open the cabinet or touch the parts inside.  
• Wipe your TV with a clean, dry cloth. Never use water, cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals.  
• Do not put heavy objects on top of the cabinet.  
Temperature  
• If your TV is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, unplug the power cord, and allow at  
least two hours for moisture that may have formed inside the unit to dry completely.  
Using Your TV in Another Country  
If you plan to take your TV with you to a foreign country, please be aware of the different  
television systems that are in use around the world. A TV designed for one system may not  
work properly with another system due to differences in the TV channel frequencies.
