plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
t.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F4ype connector _Fqype connector
that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially _ 75 ohm coaxial cable (round)
available).
2.A 300 ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached ........................................
to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-0hm adapter (Commercially
available). 300 ohm twinqead cable (flat)
F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type
connector with tools.

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption
decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration
and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed
Captions are available on some TV programs and on
some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the
program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service
available only on digital TV programs (also at the
discretion of the service provide0. It is a more flexible
system than the original Closed Caption system,
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in
use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3qetter
abbreviation that also indicates the language of the
Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),
FRA (French) or other language codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captions. Please look for the "[_]" symbol to ensure
that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its

information
o Depending on the number of caption services in the
signal being received, you will see information such as
1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means "the first ot two services".
