The new TV operates in the first three channels and can receive local VHF-FM radio stations, as well as play back recordings from external EPU.

The front panel displays the main control knobs, which, except for the range selector, are combined in pairs. Under the curtain, there are knobs of line frequency, frame rate, vertical size and scale used when receiving TV and FM. The scale is also an indicator of programs.
