Adapter
(483521827003)
Note: A 300Ω to 75 Ω Adapter may be
required if the UHF/VHF antenna you are
using has a “twin-lead wire” instead of the
single F-type 75Ω coaxial cable/connector.
Cable Converter Box
TV Signal from
Cable Company
T
he TV signal coming into your
home may be from a Cable TV
company or a combination UHF/VHF
antenna. In either case, the basic connection to the TV is very easy.
A Cable TV signal may use a cable
box or a direct connection and can
receive up to 125 channels.
A UHF/VHF antenna can receive
normal broadcast channels 2–13 for
VHF and 14–69 for UHF band signals.
Unless your TV is connected to a
cable TV system or to a centralized
antenna system, a good outdoor color
TV antenna is recommended for best
performance. But if you are located in
an area with an exceptionally good
signal that is free from interference
and multiple image “ghosts,” an
indoor antenna may be sufficient.
ANTENNA/CABLE TV HOOKUP
If the TV signal is from a 75Ω
F-type coaxial cable/connector,
then you’re ready to connect it to the
antenna input on the back of the TV.
If you’re using a cable signal with a
convertor box, first connect the cable
TV signal to the cable signal IN(put)
plug on the converter box. Then connect from the OUT(put) on the converter box to the ANT(enna) input on
the back of the TV.
Connect the coaxial cable/con-
nector to the ANT(enna) A input on the
back of the TV.
If you’re using a cable converter box,
connect the OUT(put) plug from the
converter to the ANT(enna) A input on
the back of the TV.
✔ To set the TV to
select only the channel numbers in your
area see how to
“Program" or "Add"
channels in memory
on page 5 (Auto
Program section).
✔ If you intend to
use separate UHF
and VHF antennas,
you will need an
optional combiner to
connect to the TV.
To order any optional accessory contact
your dealer or call
the toll-free accessory ordering number
(1-800-851-8885).
✔ See page 8 for
more information on
the Rear Panel
jacks.

BEST VIEWING
T
he major benefit of this projection
television is its large viewing
screen. To see this large screen at its
best, test various locations in the
room to find the optimum spot for
viewing.
NOTE: Be sure to allow a free flow
of air to and from the perforated
back cover of the set.
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet
color changes, and increased
chance of set failure, do not place
the TV where temperatures can
become excessively hot—for example, in direct sunlight or near a
heating appliance.

Magnetic fields, such as those of
external speakers, may cause the
picture to distort if the speakers
are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field
source away from the TV until
there is no picture distortion.

HOOKING UP YOUR TV (BASIC TV CONNECTIONS)
BASIC VCR HOOKUP
Connect your antenna or
cable TV signal to a two-way signal
splitter.
Connect one end of coaxial
cable to each of the output plugs on
the signal splitter.
Connect one of the signal
splitter outputs to the ANT(enna)
IN(put) on the VCR.
Connect the remaining signal
splitter output to the ANT(enna) A
input on the back of the TV.
Connect either the S-VIDEO or
V(ideo) output jack and the L(eft) and
R(ight) audio output jacks on the back
of the VCR to the matching AV 1 jacks
on the back of the TV.
Connect the INPUT jack on
the back of the cable box to the TO
CONVERTER jack on the back of the
TV. Then connect the OUTPUT jack on
the back of the cable box to the
ANT(enna) B input on the back of the
TV.
F
ollow the steps to the right
to connect a basic antenna
or cable TV signal to a VCR,
and then the VCR to the TV.
Refer to the owner’s manuals
for your VCR and cable converter box for further information on hookups.
FRONT PANEL JACKS
✔ Be sure to com-
pletely insert cord
plugs when connecting to the Front
Panel jacks. If you
don’t, the playedback picture may be
abnormal.
✔ If you have an
S-VHS VCR, use
the S-INPUT cable
in place of the standard video cable.
✔ If you have a
mono VCR, insert
the audio cable into
the left audio jack of
your TV.
CHECK IT OUT
T
he Front Panel jacks offer
you the convenience of easy
connection to a camcorder or
VCR.
Connect the S-VHS or Video
OUTPUT jack and the audio L(eft)
and R(ight) OUTPUT jacks on the
back of the VCR to the TV’s Front
Panel jacks.
Connect the S-VHS and audio
L(eft) and R(ight) OUTPUT jacks on
the camcorder to the TV’s Front Panel
jacks.
✔ Your TV remote
control allows you
to switch between
two separate
75-ohm antenna
inputs, ANT(enna)
A and ANT(enna) B.
You can display the
ANT(enna) A input
as a main picture or
subpicture (Picturein-Picture). You can
display ANT(enna)
B only as a main
picture. (ANT[enna]
B cannot be displayed as a subpicture.) The antenna
output labeled “TO
CONVERTER”
allows the
ANT(enna) A connection to pass
directly to a different source such as a
cable box, only
when ANT(enna) B
is displayed as a
main picture.

Connect either the S-VIDEO
or the VIDEO Jacks.
