Before Using

Receiver Location

This Device Display is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for

available options.
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the

screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce Remote Control transmitter range.

Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or

moisture.

Optional External Equipment

The Video / Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best

performance, video cables should utilize 75 £2coaxial shielded cables. Cables are available from your dealer or
electronic supply house.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various
components require. Also determine the length of cable you'll need.

I

While pressing in on the catch,
open cover in direction of arrow.

incorrect battery installation can cause the batteries to leak, leading to personal injury and/or damage to the remote
control.

Observe the following precautions:

1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set

2. Do not mix battery types (example: "Zinc Carbon" with "Alkaline").

3. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.

4. Battery replacement is necessary when the remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the Device
Display set.

2.

Install the batteries as shown in

the battery compartment.

(Polarity + or - must match the
markings in the compartment).

Two AA size

3. Press cover in direction of
arrow until it snaps shut.

(1) For frequent remote control users, replace old batteries with Alkaline batteries for longer battery life.
(2) Whenever you remove the batteries, you may need to reset the remote control infrared codes. We

recommend that you record the code on page 90, prior to setting up the remote.

Emergency Alert System (EAS) Forced Tuning

If a DCM (Digital Cable Module) is installed, the cable MSO (multiple system owner/operator) may provide
an Emergency Alert System message. These messages are intended to alert the general public of important
local or national emergency situations. In the event of receipt of one of these messages, the Device Display
shall immediately tune to the channel as directed by the EAS message. If the channel has been blocked
using the parental control, the parental blocking has priority over the forced tune.

Notes on connections

Turn off the power suppl f for all components before making any connections,

If the cables necessary for connecting a component to the system are not included with the component or available as an
option, you may need to fashion a cable to suit the component concerned.

Read the instruction manual for each system component carefully before connecting it,
If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal input from the video source, the picture on the screen may flicker. In this case, it will
be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).

When using "Nut type" RF coaxial cables tighten with fingers only. Overtightening may damage terminals.

Connecting the Antenna / Cable to the RFINTerminal

For proper reception of analog or digital cable channels, a cable service connection is required.

Notes:

• This unit contains Video and Audio Outputs for the purpose of recordingtelevision programming to VCR Due to license restrictions,
if a device (STB, DVD, etc) is connected to the HDMI input of the unit, no video or audio output is allowed

• AV Out signal is available when receiving digital channel However, all formats will be down converted to NTSC

• Never connect the VIDEO IN and OUT terminals to the same video recorder, as this could cause incorrect operation

• Even if unit is in Split or PIP mode, OUT terminals only output the main picture and sound signals A sub-picture, including
channel search, etc, will not be output

• AV terminals will not output Y, PB,PR, RGB/HDMI IN or SD/PC card signals

• The S-Video OUT terminal outputs the same signal that is input from the S-Video IN terminal and Digital RF channels

• Certain program content output from the AV Out connector may have the Macrovision signal modification applied to its signal,

decoder.

Dolby Digital 51 channel surround sound delivers digital-quality sound. Dolby Digital provides five discrete

full-bandwidth channels for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right, plus a LFE (Low Frequency

Effect) subwoofer channel, For a full Home Theater sound experience, an external Dolby Digital decoder and a
multichannel amplifier must be connected to the Digital Audio Out jack on the unit.

Procedure

Connect the Digital Audio cable from the Digital Audio
Out jack on the unit to the Digital Audio In connection on
the Dolby Digital decoder.

Note:
When ATSC channel is selected, the output from the Digital

Audio Out jack will be Dolby Digital. But, if NTSC channel is

selected, the output will be PCM

Notes:

• Some PC models cannot be connected to the set. A conversion adapter is required to use the RGB cable (D-SUB 15P) to

connect a Macintosh computer to the set. There is no need to use an adapter for computers with PC/AT compatible D-SUB

15P terminal.

• The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only. Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied
with this set

• The picture will become dark if an PC signal with a vertical scanning frequency of 82 Hz is input. To obtain the optimum picture

quality with the Device Display, a vertical scanning frequency of 80 Hz is recommended.

• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified frequency

range.

• Select the desired RGB input position by pressing the TVNIDEO button. (P. 37)

• Similar connections are available atthe RGB IN 1, 2 Terminals.

Notes:

• Input signals, other than these listed with a * mark, will give you a beautiful, stable picture.

• The D-SUB15P connector can accept RGB (H-v' sync separate) and RGB (sync on green) However, it is not guaranteed to
display stable color when using RGB (sync on green).

• When used with an external video processor/scaler, it must have RGB (H-v' sync separate) output.

How to connect the HDMI input terminal

About HDMI

HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics AiV interface that supports several uncompressed standard,
enhanced and high definition video format as well as all existing multi-channel audio formats. One jack supports both

video and audio information. The HDMIiHDCP _input can be connected to an EIAiCEA 86t/861B _compliant

consumer electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By
inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of

this unit, high definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not

intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080i, 720p and 480p formats. Select the
output of the connected device to match that of the unit.

Connection diagram

Follow the diagram below to connect the unit to a set top box or a DVD player,

digital content protection.

Installation

Procedure

Connect the HDMI output from the set top box or a DVD player to the HDMI input on the back of the unit.

1

• If you cannot display the picture because your Digital Set Top Box does not have e Digital Out terminal

setting, use the Component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). In this case, the picture will be
displayed as an analog signal.

Press TViVIDEO on the Remote Control to select HDMI input.

By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminal of

this Device Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is for

use in the future when High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)

Notes:

• Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TVNIDEO button. (P. 37)

• The HDMI IN terminal can only be used with 1080i, 720p and 480p picture signals.

• If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.

• Be sure HDMI issecurely connected. If not, picture noise andtor incorrect picture display may result.

• With HDMI connection, depending on the signal, the picture may be displayed with unnatural colors (as if red and blue are
reversed). See UV Timing of Page 53.
