HOUU TO FIND YOUR TYPE OF CABLE $YSTEM
1. Set the CATV switch to the "STD" position.
2. Select various channels and confirm whether the channels will lock
immediately with perfect picture. (lf you are having problems with only
channel 5 or 6, you may have an IRC system.)
lf the channels seem to take a few seconds to lock in, your cable system may
be HRC.
3. Set the CATV switch to the "HRC" position and try above procedure again.
TV CHANNELS
This TV will receive the following TV signals:
1. TV: Off the air TV signals (VHF and UHF, non cable)
2. STD: Standard (or IRC: lncremental Related Carrier) cable TV signals
3. HRC: Harmonic Related Carrier cable TV signals
For each of these systems, your TV set has exact frequencies built into it to ensure
precise tuning. For precise tuning, your CATV switch must be set to match to your TV
signal system. The chart on the next page shows channels available in each system
and how your TV displays them. When you connect your W to a cable TV system and if
you are not sure what system they are using, proceed with the following section
"HOW TO FIND YOUR TYPE OF CABLE SYSTEM" or consult with your local cable
company to check if your system is STD(IRC) or HRC.
CATV SWITCH (on the TV set)
Set the CATV switch on the back of the TV to the proper position to match your TV
signal system referring to the chart below. When you change the switch, the mode
display will appear on the screen for approx. 2 seconds.
