Basic Television Operation
The source button (TV/VCR/Source) on the remote switches between
Video input and Cable/Antenna input. The Time/Channel display will
read “Video” in place of a channel number if A/V inputs are selected as
the picture source.
Cable/Antenna Input: This setting allows you to change cable or
antenna channels and to view videocassettes on channel 3 (or 4)
in mono sound.
Video Input: This setting allows stereo playback of videocassettes. The
television cannot change channels in the Video mode, but the VCR can.
To view the current input source, press ENTER on your remote.
The Time/Channel display should appear in the upper right
hand corner of the screen. If the display reads ‘Video,’ then the
source is an A/V input. If the display reads a channel number,
then the source is your Cable or Antenna.

XDS can provide a channel label automatically. For the pro-

(- - - -) for that channel from the Channel ID option in the
Setup Menu.
At this printing, XDS data is only being provided
by some public broadcasting stations; and as a
result, it is only available on some channels.
You must set the Clock in the Setup Menu
before the time will appear on the
