Vtech Learning Pad User Manual - Page 25

Learning Pad TM the TV switches to Auxiliary and displays the word "AUX" on the TV screen. After the second time you press Input, the TV displays the word "CATV". The third time displays the word "AUX" again. And so on, and so on. b) Your TV may have on-screen programming. This means if you press a button the TV will display a menu of choices to select from. If this is the case and you still haven't found the switchover button, it might be hidden here. To find this screen, you need to press a button on either the remote control or TV. This button may be named Program, Menu, Select, Picture, Video, Display, or On Screen. When the screen with all of the choices appears, look for one that has a name like Input, Input Select, Input Sel., Source, Select, Video, NV, Aux., AU., Display, Monitor, Mode, Ext, or Action. Sometimes Ant. (short for Antennae) appears. tf you select this, it may give you the option between CATV/ TV/ AUX in which case you would choose AUX. It may not offer you a third choice in which case you may see a choice between CATV/ AIR or CATV/ TV. Then you would select AIR or TV. c) Another option is that you may have a dedicated channel other than channel 3 or 4 on your TV for THE LEARNING PADTM unit. Occasionally, instead of having a special button, the TV has a special channel. Only when the TV is turned to this channel can the TV talk to THE LEARNING PADTM unit. To find if one of these channels is right for you, set your TV to channel 4. Find the channel down button on your remote control or TV. Simply press the channel down button until you reach channel 91. You will see channels 4, 3, 2, 1, (maybe 00, Aux, L, or AN), 99, 98 until you reach channel 91. If while scanning the channels you see THE LEARNING PADTM unit's title screen appear you have found the special channel. NOTE: If your TV has channel memory programming, you may need to program in channels 4-91 to see if one of them is the channel you need. NOTE: To watch television again, you will need to unplug the cables in the AUDIO IN and VIDEO IN plugs on the TV. TV Coaxial Plugs 1. If your TV does not have RCA plugs with the words AUDIO IN and VIDEO IN underneath them your TV probably has a coaxial plug. A coaxial plug is a plug behind the TV that sticks out 3/4 of an inch. It is silver in color and has grooves around it (If you do not find any coaxial plugs on your TV please refer to the TV OHM Converter section for more help). The coaxial plug may already have a cable connected to it which is why you may not see it immediately. Don't worry. Look at the cables plugged into the TV. Under one it will say ANT (short for antennae) IN or CATV (short for cable TV) IN. When you unplug this cable, you will find a coaxial plug. If this is the case, you will need to purchase an RF modulator. The RF modulator is a box with three plugs and one electric cord. The cables from THE LEARNING PADTM unit plug into the RF modulator. The RF modulator will then combine the signals into one coaxial cable that will fit into the coaxial plug behind your TV. After the RF modulator is connected please return to step #4 of the TV Hook-up section of the manual. NOTE: An RF modulator can be purchased at some electronics stores or ordered through VTECH®, for $17.99 (including shipping and handling) by calling Consumer Services at 1-800-521-2010. 21
