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 A); older homes probably have 300-ohm twin lead cable (see B); other homes may contain both (see C).

Installing and Connecting the LCD Projection TV

✍ It is highly 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 feature for your cable box.)

1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the LCD projection TV’s VHF/UHF

jack.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the LCD projection TV’s TO

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.

Cable Box Only

Use this hookup if:

❑ You subscribe to a cable TV system that uses scrambled or encoded

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 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.

1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable

box’s IN jack.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the LCD

projection TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

Also, set Cable to On in the Channel menu (see page 76).

✍ Your So ny remote control can be progr ammed to operate your cable box

(see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 86).

✍ To change channels using the cable box, set your LCD projection TV to

channel 3 or 4 depending on the cable box chann el output. If you will be controlling all channel selection through your cable box, consider using the Channel Fix feature to set your LCD projection TV to channel 3 or 4 (see page 76).

Setting the Channel Fix feature in the Channel menu (see “Using the Channel Menu” on page 76), ensures that you do not accidentally switch the channels using your LCD projection TV.
