REPLACING THE FUSE IN THE CAR
BATTERY CORD PLUG
NOTES: • ALWAYS TURN OFF TV/VCR FIRST BEFORE
SWITCH ON OR OFF THE IGNITION OF CAR
ENGINE.
• Make sure that the negative terminal of the
battery is grounded. This set is designed for
use with negative ground system only.
• Use the supplied car cord only.
• When the TV/VCR is not in use, always
disconnect it from the car cigarette lighter
socket to avoid a battery drain.
• If the TV/VCR is to be directly connected to a
12V DC power source, for example, recrea-
tional vehicle (RV) applications, make sure
the power cord is connected after the ignition
switch to avoid battery drain.
• Do not operate the TV/VCR if the car battery
is weak. Peak current from the car alternator
could blow the DC fuse.
• Check the battery’s charge level regularly
when the TV/VCR is used in a vehicle.
If the fuse in the car battery cord plug blows, replace it
with a new 8 A fuse (Fast Blow Type) as shown below.
Unscrew the tip of the plug to remove.
Connect the VHF 75 ohm cable and UHF 300 ohm
twin-lead wire to the Combiner (not supplied). Attach
the Combiner to the Antenna Jack. 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
(CATV), see page 12 for Cable TV connections.
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.

This TV/VCR 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 in which the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally
provided by the cable company.
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jackon the back of the TV/VCR.
If 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 jackof the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV/VCR. Follow the connections shown below. Set the
TV/VCR to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to select channels.75 ohm
Coaxial Cable
If 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 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/VCR. With the switch in the A position, tune
your TV/VCR to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/
Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.Antenna Jack

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on
the screen in English or another language (depending
on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1 or 2).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on
Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the
screen with a programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in
effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.
If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a
break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the
signal is received again. If the channels are changed,
the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show
three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer
can follow the dialogue.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in
foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words
that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Cap-
tions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC).
¥When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will
be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
¥If no caption signal is received, no captions will
appear, but the television will remain in the Caption
Mode.
¥When Captions are being displayed, on-screen
displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen
or may interfere with Closed Captions.
¥Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally
appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with
Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This
is because during live programs, captions are also
entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for
editing.
¥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.
