Dear Customer :
Daewoo Electronics Corporation of America would like to thank you for choosing this color
television receiver. It incorporates a host of features designed to give you excellent perfor-
mance for many years to come.
We realize that you’re eager to turn it on and begin enjoying the high-quality pictures it
delivers just as quickly as possible, but we ask you to take a few minutes to read the
instructions in the booklet to familiarize yourself with the receiver, its functions and some
features which may be new to you. If you follow the instructions, this unit should give you
many years of viewing pleasure.
If for any reason it does not, we want to hear about it. Please write to us at the address
above. Daewoo always welcomes comments and suggestions on this or any of our other
products.
On the other hand, when you discover the enjoyment, reliability and ease of use that is
built into it, we hope that you will tell your friends, and consider Daewoo when you make
your next purchase of home entertainment equipment.
In addition to TV receivers, Daewoo produces a full line of audiovisual products built to the
same high design, engineering, and manufacturing standards as this unit.
Here are a few tips that will keep your TV receiver looking great and performing for years
to come.
●
Avoid putting it in excessively hot locations. Damage to the cabinet or premature com-
ponent failures can result.
●
There are ventilation holes in the bottom and rear of the cabinet. Make sure that they
remain unobstructed. Do not place the receiver on top of a thick cloth.
●
If you don’t plan to use the receiver for several days, it’s a good idea to unplug it from
the power outlet.
●
Many common household cleaning agents, sprays, solvents, and polishes will cause per-
manent damage to the surface of the cabinet. The best cleaning agents are mild soap
and a damp cloth.
Again, thank you for choosing this Daewoo product. We have employed advanced engineer-
ing techniques in its design, and manufactured it in one of the world’s most up-to-date
production facilities. The result is a TV receiver that we know you will be as proud to own
as we were to create.
Very truly yours,

Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV
Your TV will provide you with the best performance if you connect it to an external
antenna or cable system. Follow the directions below make this connection. Please note
that you will normally only have to make one of the connections shown below, not all of
them.
All connections will be made to the antenna terminal on the back of your TV. The anten-
na terminal is a silver metal post partially surrounded by two plastic tabs. For help in
locating the antenna terminal, see “Your TV's Back Panel” on page 4.
There is no rod antenna (“rabbit ears”) provided with your TV.
Connecting an Antenna
If your antenna ends in a single coaxial
lead, simply press or screw the cable onto the
antenna terminal on the back of your TV.
If your antenna ends in a pair of 300 ohm twin leads, you must use a 300-ohm/75-
ohm adaptor. Place the leads underneath the screws on the adaptor, tighten the screws,
then press the adaptor onto the antenna terminal on the back of the TV.
7
Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV
Antennas with two sets of leads
You might have two sets of leads from your antenna system, especially if you have one
antenna for VHF signals and one antenna for UHF signals.
If your antenna system has both a coaxial lead and twin 300-ohm leads, you must
obtain a combiner (available at your local electronics store). Press or screw the coaxial
lead onto the combiner; place the twin leads underneath the screws on the combiner and
tighten the screws. Press the cable from combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back
of your TV.
If your antenna system has two sets of twin 300-ohm leads, you must obtain a com-
biner (available at your local electronics store). Place one set of twin leads underneath
the screws on the combiner and tighten the screws. Do the same with the other set of
twin leads. Press the cable from the combiner onto antenna terminal on the back of your
TV.
Connecting a cable system
If your cable set-up is not described below, please contact your cable company for more
information.
If your cable system does not require the use
of a cable box, simply press or screw the
incoming cable onto the antenna terminal on the
back of your TV.
8
Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV
If your cable system requires you to use a converter box for all channels, connect
the incoming cable to the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another cable
between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the antenna terminal on the TV.
You will need to keep your TV tuned to channel 3 or 4 and change channels using the
converter box.
If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i.
e. pay-TV channels), follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug
this cable into a splitter (available at your local electronics store). Connect one coaxial
cable between one OUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter
box. Connect another coaxial cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and
the B-IN terminal on an A/B switch (available at your local electronics store.) Connect a
third coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the A-IN termi-
nal on the A/B switch. Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the
A/B switch and the antenna terminal on the back of your TV.
Converter Box
When the A/B switch is in the A position, you need to change channels on the converter
box (and your TV should be tuned to channel 3 or 4); when the A/B switch is in the B
position you can change channels on the TV.
Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment
You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of
equipment to your TV. We recommend that you follow the instructions included with
the piece of equipment you wish to connect.
Safety Note
If you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time, or if a thun-
derstorm is approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to dis-
connect your TV from a rooftop or satellite antenna. You do not need to disconnect your
TV from a cable system.

Captioning
Many TV shows contain “closed captions”. These captions are hidden words that can be
displayed on your TV screen. There are two types of these words : “captions” usually
follow the action on-screen, providing a written version of the dialogue, narration, and
sound effects ; “text” is not usually related to the action on-screen, often providing infor-
mation such as news or weather. A TV program might be providing more than one set of
captions or one set of text.
To set your TV to display captions or text.
1 With the TV turned on, press the MENU button.
2 Use the VCHW buttons to select CAPTION.
3 Press CVOLB. The caption menu will be displayed.
4 To turn captioning on, use the VCHW buttons to select captions (C1 or C2) or Text
(T1 or T2). At the time these instructions were written, only C1 is normally available,
but feel free to try the other selections.

About captions
Once you have chosen a caption setting, all available captions on that setting will be dis-
played when you watch TV. If no captions appear, it is because there are no captions
being broadcast for that show. Look for a “CC” mark in the TV listings or on video
tapes. This mark indicates that captions are provided for that program.
Please note : The content and appearance of captions are determined by the broadcaster,
not by the TV. If the captions display strange characters, misspellings, or odd words,
those errors are made by the broadcaster, not your TV. Errors in captioning are more
common during live programs than during taped programs.
Your TV cannot display captions when it is displaying any other on-screen information.
If you use the RECALL or VOL buttons, the captions will briefly disappear.
