Installing the Batteries

Install the batteries (AA x 2) matching the polarity indicated inside battery compartment of the remote control.

Battery Precautions:

Be sure to follow the correct polarity 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; they can overheat and rupture.

*Once connections are completed, turn on the unit and begin initial setup. Channel scanning is necessary for the unit to memorize all available channels in your area. (Refer to Initial Setup on page 10.)
For your safety and to avoid damage to device, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the antenna input jack before moving the unit. If you use an antenna to receive analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more effective than settop versions. To easily switch your reception source between antenna and cable, install an antenna selector. If you connect to the cable system directly, contact the CATV installer.
[Connection to Cable Box or Satellite Box] Connect the RF coaxial cable on your home outlet to the input jack of the cable/satellite box. Use another RF coaxial cable to connect the antenna input jack of the unit to the output jack of the cable/satellite box.

Initial Setup

This section will guide you through the units initial setting which includes selecting a language for your on-screen menu and AUTO PRESET CH, which automatically scans and memorizes viewable channels.
If you connect the cable system directly, contact the CATV installer. If you press [POWER] or [MENU] during AUTO PRESET CH, this setting will be canceled. The initial auto channel scan function can be executed for either TV/DTV or CATV only once. If you want to scan both TV/DTV and CATV, you need to select CHANNEL SETUP in the main menu to scan and memorize other channels after initial presetting is completed. (Refer to page 11.) You can cancel or exit the initial AUTO PRESET CH menu by pressing [MENU]. When no channel can be received by AUTO PRESET CH, NO TV SIGNALS is displayed on the TV screen. If there is no signal input from the antenna terminal and no operation for more than 5 seconds, HELPFUL HINTS appears. Follow the instructions listed on the TV screen.

MUTE 20

About digital TV broadcasting: With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and sound quality. What is the minor channel? By using high compression technology, digital broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals to send simultaneously. Therefore, you can select more than one program per major channel since digital broadcasting technology distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a single network.

Screen Information
You can display the currently selected channel or other information such as the audio mode on the TV screen.
When the program guide consists of more than 6 lines, use [VOL X/Y] to scroll. No description provided is displayed when the program guide is not provided. While the program guide is displayed, the closed caption function is interrupted. In external input mode, the following screen is displayed; e.g.) When an external device is connected to S-video input jack.

VIDEO 1

In the analog mode, the current channel number is displayed. Press [INFO].
The current channel number is displayed at the topright corner of the TV screen. To clear the display, press [INFO] again.
Available languages differ depending on the broadcast. The information display will automatically disappear in a few seconds when the closed caption is on. Pressing [AUDIO] does not control external audio source.

To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast signal must contain the closed caption data. Not all TV programs and commercials have the closed caption or all types of the closed caption. Captions and texts may not match the TV voice exactly. Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few seconds. Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed caption for a few seconds. Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts may be used in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This is not a problem with the unit. The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the main menu or functions display is shown. If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that the closed caption is set to the text mode. To clear the box, select C1, C2 or OFF. If the unit receives poor quality television signals, the captions may contain errors, or there might be no captions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are: - Automobile ignition noise - Electric motor noise - Weak signal reception - Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter) The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power fails. When the unit receives a special effects playback signal (i.e., Search, Slow and Still) from a VCRs video output channel (CH3 or CH4), the unit may not display the correct caption or text.

Auto channel scan must be completed when you set up the unit for the first time or move it to a location where previously unavailable channels are broadcast. The selected channel may not be broadcasting. When auto channel scan is interrupted and not completed, some channels will not be received. Make sure to complete. (Refer to Auto Channel Scan on page 11.)

Picture OK, sound poor No reception of digital signals
Symptom The entered channel number changes automatically Remote control does not work
Remedy Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations. These are the numbers used for analog broadcasts. Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit. Check the batteries of the remote control. Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote control. Test the signal output. If OK, then possible infrared sensor trouble. (Refer to IR Signal Check on page 23.) Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit. Reduce the distance to the unit. Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/ signs) as indicated.
Problems with Closed Caption Feature
Misspelled captions are displayed. Captions are not entirely displayed, or captions are delayed behind the dialogue. Captions are displayed as a white box. No caption is displayed in the closed caption-supported program. No caption is displayed when playing the videotape containing captions. Black box is displayed in the TV screen. Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without correcting the misspelling in a live broadcast. 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. Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be incomplete. Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement. The closed caption decoder cannot read the information of the shortened program. The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have been read during copying. The text mode is selected for caption. Select C1, C2 or OFF.
