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, 
Carbon-zinc or Rechargeable) 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 Cable TV connections.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna to the Antenna 
Jack.
75 ohm
Coaxial
CableAntenna
Jack
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.

NOTE:
Depending on the broadcast signal, some Analog Captions 
will function with a Digital broadcast signal. This step 
prevents that two kind of captions are overlapping. •
NOTES:
If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no 
captions will display on-screen.
If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle 
may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the CC Display to 
“Off ”.
When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed 
approx. 10 seconds.
If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the 
television will remain in the Caption Mode.
Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear 
during Closed Captioning. 
This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially with live 
programs. During live programs, captions are also entered live 
and these transmissions do not allow time for editing.
When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such 
as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with Closed 
Captions.
Some cable systems and copy protection systems may 
interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the 
Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with 
strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the 
antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
Closed Captions menu also can be displayed by pressing C.C. 
on the remote control. •
