Place your TV in a room with adequate ventilation.

Keep your TV set away from sources of direct heat, such as heat registers or direct sunlight.

Do not place your TV on soft surfaces, such as rugs or blankets.

Leave enough room for air to circulate around the bottom, top and back of the set.

You can connect a VHF Antenna, UHF Antenna, or a VHF/UHF Combination Antenna to the ANT. IN terminal on the back of the TV. For separate VHF and UHF antennas, a VHF/UHF Combiner (not supplied) is required.

Alternatively, you can connect a CATV Box or Satellite Box. Connect the OUT port of the box to the ANT. IN terminal on the TV using a 75-ohm Coaxial Cable.

You can also connect a Cable System or Satellite Antenna directly to the ANT. IN terminal using a 75-ohm Coaxial Cable.

Note: Some cable TV systems use scrambled signals and require a special converter to receive these channels. Consult your local cable company.

FCC WARNING: This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.

Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

My TV is showing captions that are misspelled.

You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the normal time available for editing the captions.

My TV will not show the text in its entirety or there is a delay of what is being said.

Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

My captions are scrambled with white boxes on the TV screen.

Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.

My program guide listed a TV show as being closed captioned but none of the captions were displayed.

Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.

My prerecorded videotape does not show any captions. The tape box mentions it being closed captioned.

The videotape was either an illegal copying or the tape duplicating company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process.

My TV screen shows a black box on certain channels.

You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION [OFF].
