ment parts specified by the manufacturer

that have the same characteristics as the

original part. Unauthorized substitutions

may result in fire, electric shock or other

hazards.

19 Upon completion of any service or repairs to

this TV/VCR Combination, ask the service

technician to perform safety checks to deter-

mine that the television is in a safe operating

condition.

20 If an outside antenna or cable system is con-

nected to the television receiver, be sure the

antenna or cable system is grounded so as to

provide some protection against voltage

surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA N0.70-1984, provides informa-

tion with respect to proper grounding of the

high design, engineering, and manufacturing standards as this unit.

Here are a few tips that will keep your TV/VCR Combination looking great and performing for years to come:

•Avoid putting it in excessively hot locations. Damage to the cabinet or premature component failures can result.

•There are ventilation holes in the bottom and rear of the cabinet. Make sure that they remain unobstructed. Do

not place the receiver on top of a thick cloth.

•If you don’t plan to use the receiver for several days, it’s a good idea to unplug it from the power outlet.

•Many common household cleaning agents, sprays, solvents, and polishes will cause permanent damage to the

surface of the cabinet. The best cleaning agents are mild soap and a damp cloth.

Again, thank you for choosing this CurtisMathes product. We have employed advanced engineering techniques in

its design, and manufactured it in one of the world’s most up-to-date production facilities. The result is a TV/VCR

Combination that we know you will be as proud to own as we were to create.

Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination

Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination

Your TV/VCR Combination will provide you with the best performance if you connect it to

an external antenna or cable system. Follow the directions below to make this connection.

Please note that you will normally only have to make one of the connections shown below,

not all of them.

All connections will be made to the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR

Combination. The antenna terminal is a silver metal post partially surrounded by two plastic

tabs. For help in locating the antenna terminal, see “Your TV/VCR Combination's Back

Panel” on page 5.

There is no antenna provided with your TV/VCR Combination.

Connecting an Antenna

If your antenna ends in a single coaxial lead,

simply press or screw the cable onto the antenna

terminal on the back of your TV/VCR

Combination.

If your antenna ends in a pair of 300 ohm twin leads, you must use a 300-ohm/75-ohm

adaptor. (An adaptor is included with your 19” TV/VCR Combination.) Place the leads under-

neath the screws on the adaptor, tighten the screws, then press the adaptor onto the antenna

terminal on the back of the TV/VCR Combination Combination.

10

Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination

Antennas with two sets of leads

You might have two sets of leads from your antenna system, especially if you have one anten-

na for VHF signals and one antenna for UHF signals.

If your antenna system has both a coaxial lead and twin 300-ohm leads, you must obtain a

combiner (available at your local electronics store). Press or screw the coaxial lead onto the

combiner; place the twin leads underneath the screws on the combiner and tighten the screws.

Press the cable from combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back of the TV/VCR

Combination.

If your antenna system has two sets of twin 300-ohm leads, you must obtain a combiner

(available at your local electronics store). Place one set of twin leads underneath the screws on

the combiner and tighten the screws. Do the same with the other set of twin leads. Press the

cable from the combiner onto the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR

Combination.

11

Chapter 2 : Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination

Connecting a Cable System

If your cable set-up is not described below, please contact your cable company for more infor-

mation.

If your cable system does not require the use of a

cable box, simply press or screw the incoming cable

onto the antenna terminal on the back your TV/VCR

Combination.

If your cable system requires you to use a converter box for all channels, connect the

incoming cable to the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another cable between the

OUT terminal on the converter box and the antenna terminal on the TV/VCR Combination.

You will need to keep your TV/VCR Combination tuned to channel 3 or 4 and change chan-

nels using the converter box.

If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i. e.

pay-TV channels), follow these steps: Find the primary incoming coaxial cable. Plug this

cable into a splitter (available at your local electronics store). Connect one coaxial cable

between one OUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect

another coaxial cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A-IN terminal on

an A/B switch (available at your local electronics store.) Connect a third coaxial cable

between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the B-IN terminal on the A/B switch.

Finally, connect a coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the A/B switch and the antenna

terminal on the back of your TV/VCR Combination.

When the A/B switch is in the A position, you can change channels on the TV/VCR

Combination; when the A/B switch is in the B position, you, need to change channels on the

converter box (and your TV should be tuned to channel 3 or 4)

Connecting Other Pieces of Equipment

You may want to connect a VCR, laser disc player, satellite receiver, or another type of equip-

ment to your TV/VCR Combination. We recommend that you follow the instructions included

with the piece of equipment you wish to connect.

If you connect other pieces of equipment to your TV/VCR Combination using the audio/video

jacks on the front panel, you will need to use the TV/LINE button on the remote control to

view the signal coming through these jacks. See page 41 for more information.

Safety Notes

If you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time, or if a thunder-

storm is approaching, you should unplug your television, and you may wish to disconnect

your TV from a rooftop or satellite antenna. You do not need to disconnect your TV from a

cable system.

Chapter 3 : Operating Your TV

Changing Channels

You can change channels in three ways:

1. The VCHW buttons will take you through all memorized chan-

nels, one by one. The VCHW buttons will not access channels

that have not been programmed into the TV’s memory. For

more information about programming channels into memory,

see the section “Programming your TV/VCR Combination’s

Channel Memory” on the previous page.

2. The number buttons (0-9) will take you to any channel, even if it

has not been memorized. To change to a channel, enter its num-

ber; the TV/VCR Combination will tune to the new channel

when you enter the second digit of the channel.

3. The FAVORITE CH button will take you instantly to the last

channel you were watching.

Changing the Volume

1. To change the volume of the TV/VCR Combination set, use the

CVOLB buttons on the remote or on the front panel.

2. To quickly turn off the sound, press the MUTE button on the

remote. The ‘MUTE’ will appear on screen, colored green. To

return the volume to its previous level, press MUTE again.
