Select the desired power source and antenna.

    1.  Set the SELECTOR Switch 11 to TV.

    2.  Select the TV band with TV BAND Selector 16.

    3.  Tune slowly to the desired station by adjusting the TV TUNING
        Control 17.

    4.  To obtain the best picture, adjust the BRIGHT 26 and CONTRAST
        25 controls.

    5.  To obtain the desired sound level adjust the VOLUME Control 12.

    NOTE:
    To stop vertical "roll" of picture, adjust Vertical HOLD Control 24.
    For horizontal "tear" of picture, adjust Horizontal HOLD Control 23.
    Both Controls are located on the rear of the unit.

    SPECIAL NOTE:
    Since the TV set is continuously tuning, you may tune in some rather
    strange sounds; this is normal and is actually a minor feature of this
    type of tuning.  You may be able to identify some of these unusual
    signals.

POSSIBLE TV RECEPTION PROBLEMS

    1.  If the image is weak (with "snow") the signal reception may be
        weak.  This can be caused by your location-buildings made with a
        large amount of steel can cause reception problems.  Try changing
        the position and length of the antenna.  If this does not help,
        use an outdoor antenna, especially if you are located far from the
        TV station.

    2.  "Snow" along with "tear" or "roll" can often be due to improper
        tuning.  This can also be due to a very weak signal.

    3.  Tune slowly to the desired station with the RADIO TUNING Control
        15.

    4.  Adjust the VOLUME Control 12 to the desired level.

RADIO OPERATION

Select the desired power source and antenna.

    1.  Set the SELECTOR Switch 11 to RADIO.

    2.  Set the RADIO BAND Switch 14 to FM or AM as desired.

    3.  Tune slowly to the desired station with the RADIO TUNING
        Control 15.

    4.  Adjust the VOLUME Control 12 to the desired level.

POSSIBLE RADIO RECEPTION PROBLEMS

    1.  If FM reception is weak, this is generally caused by problems
        similar to those described in "Possible TV Reception Problems".
        Use an outdoor antenna for very weak stations.

    2.  If AM reception is weak, this may be due to distance of the
        station or operation of the unit in a building with steel
        construction.  Turn the unit in different directions to find the
        best position for the built in ferrite bar antenna.

POSSIBLE CASSETTE RECORDER PLAYING PROBLEM

cause.  Clean it with a head cleaning tape.

(Radio Shack 44-1160) or with a cotton swab lightly moistened with
recommended head cleaning fluid (Radio Shack 44-1170).
