About the LCD Projection TV
Although the LCD projection TV is made with highprecision techno logy, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (red, b lue, or gree n) may ap pear cons tantly
on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the
LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
Installation
❑ If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines
on the screen, part of the screen appears white due to
reflections from behind the screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD Projection TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or
direct sunlight.
❑ The picture quality may be affected by your viewing
position. If you view the TV close to you, you may
suffer f ro m e ye fatigue.
For the best picture quality, install your LCD
projection TV according to the operating
instructions.
Sit at least 2.2 m (approx. 7 ft.) away from your
LCD projection TV, and within 60° of the vertical
viewing area, and 130° of the horizontal viewing
area.
❑ When installing your LCD Projection TV against a
wall, keep it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the wall.
Projection lamp
❑ Your LCD projecti on TV uses a projection lamp as
its light source. When the projection lamp wears out
after using the LCD projection TV for a long period
of time, the screen image becomes dark, or no image
will appear on the display. If the lamp replacement
indicator of the front panel blinks in red, repla c e the
lamp with a new one (not supplied). In some cases,
the lamp bursts inside the lamp unit noisily, but the
lamp unit is securely designed so that the pieces of
broken glass remain inside the lamp unit. (See
“Replacing the Lamp” on page 13.)
Cooling fan
❑ This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan to
prevent the internal temperature from heating up.
You might hear the noise from the cooling fan,
depending on the plac e yo u ins ta ll the LCD
projection TV.

Basic Connections (Connecting Cable TV or Antenna)
Connecting Directly to Cable or an Antenna
The connection you choo se depends on t he cable foun d in your home. Ne wer
homes are equipped with standard coaxial cable (see AAAA); older homes
probably have 300-ohm twin lead cable (see BBBB); other homes may contain
both (see CCCC).

Installing and Connecting the LCD Projection TV
It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm
✍
coaxial cable to get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable
can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal
deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it away as far
as possible from the LCD projection TV.
Do not use an indoor antenna because it is especially susceptible to
✍
radio noise.

Cable Box and 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, and
❑
You want to enjoy the Twin View feature.
With this setup you can:

❑
Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels using
your cable box when the signal is scrambled.
❑
Use the LCD projection TV remote control to change channels using
your LCD projection TV when the signal is not scrambled. (Your LCD
projection TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
❑
Use the Twin View feature. (When all channels are routed through your
cable box, only one channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you
can not use the Twin View or Channel Index features for your cable
box.)
Connect the Cable TV cable to the LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF
1
jack.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the LCD projection TV’s TO
2
CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The LCD projection
TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled
signals coming straight into the LCD projection TV and scrambled
signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an
external splitter.

You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to
your LCD projection TV.
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled
channel is sent to the LCD projection TV, so you cannot use the Twin View
feature. If some channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using
the hookup on page 26 instead.
