(Continued from previous page)

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code
(U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information with regard
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver) during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.

16. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.

17. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

19. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servic­ing to qualified service personnel under the following con­ditions:

a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor­mance.

21. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the origi­nal part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condi­tion.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer. The product may slide
or fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and seri­ous damage to the product.

There are four jacks on the left side on your projection TV that
make connecting Audio/Video devices like video games and cam­corders very simple.

The jacks are like those found on the back jack connection panel.
This means that most equipment that connects to those types of
jacks on the rear jackpack, may be connected to the side connec­tion panel.

To use the side jacks as the signal source, select them using Main
Input menu as described on page 25. They will be named “Side
Video” in the Main Input menu.

Left/Right Audio

Used for stereo sound

from various types of

equipment.

Video

Connects the video

signals from any

piece of equipment.

S-Video

A connection available on
some very high-end equipment
that provides better picture
quality than video input.

If you input both Side Video and S­Video, only the S-Video will work.

If you’re connecting a video game

picture settings with the EZ Picture
option in the Video menu (see page

29).

Mini glossary

A/V CABLES Audio/Video cables. Three cable connector—Right audio (red), Left audio (white), and Video (yellow). A/V cables are used for stereo

playback of videocassettes and for higher quality picture and sound from other A/V devices.

A/V DEVICE Any device that produces video or sound (VCR, DVD, cable box, or television).

ANT / Cable Service Hookup

1

Connect an antenna or cable service to your
TV as shown.

Turn to page 22 to do a channel search
with EZ Scan for Ant/Cable connection(s).

For best signal reception, it is recommended to have your Antenna professionally adjusted.

If you receive your RF signal
through an antenna that is several
years old and connects with two
small prongs, you will need to pur­chase a 300 to 75 ohm adapter. It
should be available from your local
electronics dealer.

We recommend using a 75 ohm
cable for your antenna connections
in order to prevent
interference.

Or, find the composite video and
audio jacks on the back of your
VCR, and connect them following
the instructions provided with
your equipment.

You may connect either the com­posite video or the S-Video cables
to your TV. (Do not connect both
the composite and the S-Video
cables. In the event that you con­nect both composite and the S­Video cables, only the S-Video will
work.)

To hear stereo sound from cable or your VCR,
you will need to connect A/V cables as well as
the wire that runs from the VCR to your TV.

If you want to receive your signals on Channel
3 or 4, locate the Out to TV jack on your VCR.
Connect a cable from the Out to TV jack to the
Antenna In jack on the back of your TV.

After connecting external equipment to the TV,
don’t display a still picture for a long time on

Home Theater: Speaker Layout

speaker

This is a typical speaker layout.
Any number of other speaker setups
are possible, and some changes may
be needed to maximize your sound.
However, a Dolby Digital Receiver is
required to hear 5.1 channel audio.

Left and right speakers on each
side of the TV enhance separation.
The TV's sound optional hookup
“center mode in,” makes the dialog
sound as though it’s coming directly
from the TV. The rear surround
sound speakers provide
the majority of other sounds, like
those from special effects in movies.
Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low
frequency sound, for rumbling
low-end audio.

Sound is affected by
speaker placement, so
make sure nothing is in
front of the speakers, and
that they are aimed in
appropriate directions.

You have the option of
turning the TV speakers on
or off.

Monitor Out Setup

Your TV has a special signal output capa­bility which allows you to hook up a sec­ond TV or monitor.

Just connect the second TV or monitor to
the MONITOR OUT Audio/Video jacks locat­ed on the back of your TV. See the
Operating Manual of the second TV or
monitor for further details regarding that
device’s input settings.
