* To connect CABLE TV, an F-connector-to-mini-phono jack adapter must be used. This is
available at any electrical parts shop. Plug the adapter into any one of 4 Diversity
antenna input jacks. The TV Band can receive up to 68 channels (2-69). The CABLE
Band can receive up to 125 channels (1-125). The total number of channels available for
both TV and Cable TV is 181 (after subtracting the redundant 12, channels 2 through
13).
6. AUTO PROGRAM (A.PGM) Key
AUTO PROGRAM memorizes only receivable channels in the current band.
AUTO PROGRAM memory is available on both TV and CABLE Bands. Each memory
can be either LOCAL or TRAVEL. This gives a total of 4 memories. This is very useful
to store stations near your home in LOCAL memory and then use TRAVEL memory
when on vacation in an unfamiliar region.
This key has two functions as follows:
• Press and release: Switch LOCAL and TRAVEL
Press and release the A.PGM key [A]. The OSD will display the current status [B]
(blinking). Pressing the key again toggles between the two Modes (LOCAL and
TRAVEL). After 8 seconds or when any other key is pressed, the OSD display
disappears and any change made is set.
