the-air broadcasts are in high-definition and can be received with
a high-quality antenna suited to your location.

See Appendix C for ordering information and replacement
instructions.

the screen. The TV’s analog closed captioning has been set to “text” mode
in the
Captions menu. Turn off because there is no text infor-
mation being broadcast.

VHS tape. Check your VCR’s owner’s guide for further troubleshooting.
