WATCHING BROADCAST TELEVISION

(ON TV TUNER-EQUIPPED SYSTEMS)

You can watch television on the system if you have installed the optional CV4000 TV Tuner kit (includes TV Tuner, antenna, and an AC3024 harness).

Note: Broadcast television reception varies with location, terrain, distance from the broadcast tower, and other factors. Signal quality is likely to vary in a moving vehicle.

1Press SOURCE to select the “TV Tuner” input. “TV Tuner” and a channel number (for example, “2”) will appear on the screen. If no channel is displayed, press the POWER button on the remote.

2Press the UP CH and DOWN CH arrow buttons on the remote to change channels. You can also use the UP and DOWN arrows on the front control panel.

3To scan all available channels, press SOURCE MENU.

Note: To watch broadcast television or videotapes in their original format, press the DISPLAY MODE button on the remote control until “Standard” is displayed on the screen. This will properly size the image, instead of stretching the image across the wide screen. In “Standard” mode, you will see black bars on the sides of the image, like this:

USING EXTERNAL SOURCES

You may use optional external video games, camcorders, and other portable video units by connecting the unit to the auxiliary RCA input jacks on the unit. You must remove the cover to access the jacks, and press SOURCE to select “Auxiliary Input”.

Color-Coded RCA Jacks

Red — Right channel audio input

White — Left channel audio input

Yellow — Video input

To use an external game system, a 12VDC to 110VAC power inverter, available at most electronic retail stores, is often required.

Note: If you want to watch non-widescreen, 4:3 images, press the DISPLAY MODE button on the remote control until “Standard” is displayed on the screen. This will properly size the image, instead of stretching the image across the wide screen. In “Standard” mode, you will see black bars on the sides of the image, like this:
