Cable Channel Designations

Your Model 36 can receive up to 125 cable chan- nels, displayed as 1–125. Channels 2–13 are the same for VHF and cable TV, and cable compa- nies usually number them as they appear on the TV screen. For other channels, the cable ser- vice’s channel designations might not match the channel numbers that appear.

For more information, contact your cable com- pany. You still might have to experiment to de- termine the proper cable channel designations for your cable system.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

You can connect another audio/video device that has audio/video outputs, such as a VCR, camcorder, or satellite receiver, to the Model 36 so you can view the source’s output on the Mod- el 36.

Note: Always use video-quality shielded cables with phono connectors. Do not use standard au- dio patch cords.

To connect an audio/video device’s outputs to the Model 36, connect the device’s video and audio outputs to the corresponding VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN jacks on the front of the Model 36.

CONNECTING POWER

Using the AC Power Cord

Warning: For your protection, the power cord has a polarized plug. To prevent blade expo- sure, be sure the blades fit fully and easily into the outlet. If you do not have a polarized outlet, have a qualified electrician install one before you use the Model 36.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

Plug the supplied AC power cord’s smaller end into the Model 36’s AC 120V connector. Then plug the other end into a standard AC outlet.

Using the DC Adapter

To power the Model 36 from your vehicle’s bat- tery, plug the supplied DC adapter’s small plug into the Model 36’s DC 13.2V jack. Then tighten the knurled ring on the DC adapter’s large plug and plug it into the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
