Introducing the F;9 7?:ini_ron Wega
Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega
The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY GAH) is characterized by outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner to
corner detail.
You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare from the fiat picture tube. This fiat screen technology improves picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens. The FD Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only at the screen center, but also at the corners so you can enjoy a bright, clear picture from any location in a room.
l eatures
Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that
maximizes picture resolution on "anamorphic" or "enhanced for widescreen" sources, including selected DVDs.
Velocity Modulation: Vertical line enhancement that sharpens picture definition.
Parental Control: VChip technology allows parents to block unsuitable programming for younger viewers.
Component Video Input: Offers the best video quality for DVD player connections.
S-VIDEO Input: Provides a high quality image for connected equipment.
Also, on the KV 36FS17 model:
Dual Tuner Picture in Picture (PIP): Allows you to watch two programs at once.
Favorite Channel Preview: Preview up to eight favorite channels without leaving the current channel.

Basic Cable Box Connections
Cable Box aed Cable
This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels), and you need to use a cable box.
With this setup you can:
Use the TV remote control to change channels on your cable box
when the signal is scrambled.
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV
when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TV's tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
Use the PIP feature normally with the CATV input. Use the PIP feature partially with the cable box. (When you
switch the TV input to AUX to use the cable box the scrambled picture will display only in the main window. If you
turn on the PIP, you will be able to see any of the regular channels in the PIP window, but you cannot SWAP the pictures between
the main and PIP windows.)
(Continued on the next page) 43
Installing the TV (Continued from the previous page)
1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV's VHF/UHF jack.
3
Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV's TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box's IN jack. The TV's internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the
TV's AUX jack.

When using the cable box, you need your TV to stay on a required channel (usually channel 3 or 4). You can use the TV's Channel Fix feature to lock in a specific channel. The Channel Fix feature is under the Channel menu. For details, see "Using the Channel Menu" on page 40.
14
Use this hookup if:
You subscribe to a cable TV system that scrambles or encodes all signals, requiring a cable box to view all channels, and You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your TV.
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the PIP feature. If some of your channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup "Cable Box and Cable" on page 13
instead.
1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable smwice to the
cable box's IN jack.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the TV's VHF/UHF jack.
