Antenna/Cable/nformation Most modem "IVantennas receive both VHF (VeryHigh Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) channels. Chan- nels 2-13 are _ channels, and channels 14-69 are UI-IFchannels. Indoor Antenna Typical Outdoor Antenna ° In most situations you will get better picture quality if you use an outdoor antenna or connect your TV to a cable-TV system. If this is not possible, connect the indoor antenna supplied with your TV. Cable-TV delivers both VHF and UHF channels and other channels not available from your antenna. Shown below are two basic types of antenna cables. Signals from a home antenna may be conducted through either type. Cable-TV signals, howe_r, are always conducted through round, 75-ohm coaxial cable. Types of Antenna Cables Rat 300-ohm twin-leadcable Round 75-ohm coaxial cable SILo-onEnd Screw-on End Use the connector shown below to connect your antenna or cable-TV system to the back of the "IV. _Washer Antenna _ Connector _ Nut IMPORTANT NOTE: Antenna connector, nut, and washer must be in place when TV is in use. • Follow the instructions below if you intend to connect the indoor antenna supplied with your TV. -or- * Follow the instructions on page 14 if you intend to connect an indoor or outdoor antenna to your TV. -or- • Follow the instructions on page 15 if you intend to connect a cable- "IV system to your TV. Dipole Antenna Connection Follow the steps to connect the indoor antenna supplied with your TV (only if you do not connect an outdoor antenna or a cable-TV system). C)Insert the antenna base into the pocketed slot on the back of your set. Stand at the back of your set with the antenna twin-lead facing you, and press the base of the antenna into the slot until it locks in place. (2_ Connect the ends of the twin-lead the to Antenna Adapter (supplied). Connect the Antenna Adapter to the ANTENNA connector on the back of the TV. Later,after you've turned on the "IV,adjust the length and position of the antenna rods for best reception. • For viewing VHF channels, extend the rods fully. • For viewing UHF channels, shorten the rods for best reception.

to receive up to 181 TV channels, including 125 non-scrambled cable channels (see chart below). To use this TV on a cable-TV system, confirm that the cable-TV system is properly con- nected to your TV. Since cable systems vary, you may wish to consult your local cable-TV company for additional information. If your cable-TV company follows EIA/NCTA channel-identification standards, most of the channels offered by your cable company will be "identified by channel numbers that are identical to those on your TV. For example, if your cable-TV system has programs on cable channel 20, you can choose this channel by selecting channel 20 on your TV. Some cable-TV companies do not follow the EIA/NCTA standards and instead assign their own channel identification. For example, some use the standard broadcast channel num- bers (2-13) for channels 2-13, but identify their other channels with letters. If your cable company does not follow the EIA/NCTA standards, ask them for a cross reference that shows to which channels you should tune your TV to receive their cable-TV channels. Scrambled Cable-TV Channels Some cable companies offer "premium-pay" channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing may require the use of a cable box which is generally provided by the cable company. How you connect the cable box to your TV depends upon whether or not the cable box can be controlled by remote control. If your cable box is remote controllable, you will want to connect it as shown in Diagram B on the previous page. If your cable box cannot be controlled by remote control, you will still be able to remotely control "unscrambled" channels with the connection shown in Diagram C on the previous page. The chart below fists the "total" channel and cable capability count. • Low VI-IF A-8 (Channel 01) • VI-IF (Channels 2-13) * 12 * • UHF (Channels 14-69) 56 • Low Midband A-5 through A-1 (Channels 95-99)** -- 5 • Midband (Channels 14-22 or A-I) -- 9 • Superband (Channels 23-36 or J-W) -- 14 • Hyperband (channels 37-64 or W+I to W+28) -- 28 • Ultraband (Channels 65-94 and 100-125 or -- 56 W+29 to W+84) Total* 68 125 * VHF is only counted once in total channel count because you can receive channels 2-13 on both "off-air" and "cable" channels. Therefore the total channel count for "off-air" and "cable" is 181 channels (68+125-12=181). ** Channels 95, 96, and 97 arenot applicable in Canada. Therefore, the total number in Canada is 178.

Cleaning and Care Dust TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner. Occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation. Take care not to scratch the plastic surfaces. If your TV's cabinet has a textured finish, do not use furniture polish. Because textured finishes are porous, using furniture polish will mar their appearance. They can be easily cleaned with a damp, soft cloth. To clean the screen, you can wipe it with a damp, soft cloth. Then dry it with a soft cloth. (A mild soap may be used on the screen if it is extremely dirty.) Be sure to turn off the "IV before cleaning the scw_n, and do not allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. A special antistatic cleaning and polishing solution (AH035) is available for use on most TV screens and non- textured cabinets. This non-abrasive formula imparts brilliance, repels static, and resists fingerprints. Lint-free polishing cloths are included. 19
