Your LCD projection 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, replace 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.)
<
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 place you install the LCD
projection TV.
When carrying the LCD projection TV, disconnect
the connections.
The remote control detection is at the upper right
side. For remote control operations, point it to that
position.

Cable Box
Connections 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.)
Connect the Cable TV cable to the LCD projection TV's VHF/UHF
jack.
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.

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.
Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the cable
box's IN jack.
Using a coaxial cable, connect the cable box's OUT jack to the LCD
projection TV's VHF/UHF jack.
