HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Install two “AAA” batteries (supplied).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover. Before using the remote control, batteries must first be installed.
Use two “AAA” size batteries. The batteries may last approximately 
one year depending on how much the remote control is used. 
For best performance, it is recommended that batteries should 
be replaced on a yearly basis, or when the remote operation 
becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or different 
types. 
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when using batteries in this 
device:
Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries 
as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries 
may cause damage to the device.
Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and 
Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.
If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove 
the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery 
leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; 
they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s 
directions.)
Please use caution when inserting batteries to avoid battery 
damage. If the spring terminal in the remote control remains in 
contact with a side of a damaged battery it can cause a short 
circuit. Never use damaged batteries as they can become very 
hot and are dangerous. •

Antenna connections
If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, follow the instructions below that correspond to your antenna system. If you 
are using a Cable TV service, see page 13 for Cable TV connections.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm twin-lead wires)
Separate VHF/UHF Antennas (75 ohm VHF cable and 300 ohm UHF twin-lead wires)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna to the 
Antenna Jack.
If your combination VHF/UHF antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, the 
use of the 300-75 ohm matching transformer may be necessary.
Connect the UHF 300 ohm twin-lead wire to the Combiner (not supplied). 
Connect the VHF 300 ohm twin-lead wire to the 300-75 ohm Matching 
Transformer. Attach the Transformer to the Combiner, then attach the 
Combiner to the Antenna Jack.
Connect the VHF 75 ohm cable and UHF 300 ohm twin-lead wire to the

Cable TV connections
For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the 75 
ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the TV.
For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV serviceIf you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial 
Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler 
box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler 
box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
For subscribers to unscrambled Cable TV service with scrambled premium channelsIf you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the Cable TV company or an electronics 
supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels 
on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and 
use the Converter/Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some 
cable companies offer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal 
viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.

To connect the LCD TV to a VCR with an S-Video cordIf you connect a VCR with a S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the rear side of the unit, you must also connect the audio cables to 
the AUDIO IN jacks on the rear of the unit.
The S-Video cable only carries the video signal. The audio signal is separate.
NOTE:
When the S-Video cable and the standard video cable are connected at the same time, the S-Video cable takes precedence. • The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to this unit is dependent on the model and features 
of each component. Check the Owner’s Manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.

Depending on the reception condition, a bar display may 
not advance for several minutes, please be patient. •
•
NOTE:
Memorizing channels is best accomplished during evening 
“PRIMETIME” hours, as more stations are broadcasting digital 
signals. Memorizing channels can only be accomplished while 
a station is broadcasting a digital signal to set that channel into 
memory. 
If you are unsure of the digital channels available in your area, 
you may visit www.antennaweb.org to receive a list based on your
