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 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/DVD. With the switch in the “A” position, tune
your TV/DVD to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/

NOTES:
Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the
screen in English or another language (depending on the set-
ting of the closed captions CH 1/2).
Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on captions
channel 1 and closed captions in other languages are transmitted
on captions channel 2.
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.
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.
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, 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.
•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.
•When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or 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.
