QUICK USE AND SETUP GUIDE
This section shows you how to make a basic TVconnection
using a cable TVor antenna signal.
If you have cable TVservice, you’ll simply connect the coaxial
cable lead-in fromthe cable TV company to your TV. If you intend
to connect a VHF/UHF antenna, you may need a 300- to 75-ohm
adapter,which is not supplied with your TV.
NOTE: Youshould be able to buy optional accessories such as a
VHF/UHF antenna or a 300- to 75-ohm adapter at most stores
that sell electronics.Or you can call our Customer Care Center
at 1-800-531-0039.
1Connect the CableTV or antenna signal to the
ANTENNAIN 75Ωjack on the rear of the TV.
NOTE: Ifyou are using an antenna with a round coaxial
cable (75Ω), then you are ready to connect to the back of
theTV. If your antenna has a flat, twin-lead wire (300Ω),
you must first attach the antenna wires on a 300- to 75-
ohm adapter.Then push the round end of the adapter onto
theANTENNA IN 75Ωjackon the rear of the TV.
2Insert theTV’s power plug into the wall power outlet.

BEST VIEWING
Themajor benefit ofthis projection television is its large view-
ingscreen. To see this large screen at its best, test various
locationsin the room to find the optimal spot for viewing.
NOTE:Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the per-
forated back cover of the set.
Toavoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes,
and increasedchance of set failure, do not place
the TV wheretemperatures can become excessively
hot—for example, in directsunlight or near a
heating appliance.
Magnetic fields,such as those of external speak-
ers, may cause the pictureto distort if the speak-
ers areplaced too close to the television. Move
the magnetic field sourceaway from the TV until
thereis no picture distortion.
CABLES AND CONNECTORS
If you are new to making TVhookups, you may want to read
this section. (The cables and connectors discussed arenot sup-
plied with your set. Youcan buy them at most stores that sell
audio or video products.Or call our Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039.)
This publication providesyou with examples of basic connections.
See pages 6–17 in the Directionsfor Use manual for more infor-
mation on connections, along with connection examples.
A75-ohm coaxialcable connects signals
from an antenna or a cableTV company
to the antenna jack on the back of theTV.
Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
Atwo-way signal splitter enables you to
take a single antenna or cable TV signal
and supply it to two differentinputs.
A300- to 75-ohm twin-lead
adapter accepts the antenna
cables (called twin-lead wires)
from an antenna, allowing you
to connect the antenna signal to
theTV.
Videoand audio cables
with standard RCA
(phono) connectors con-
nect the video and audio
jacks of accessory
devices such as VCRs
and DVD players to the
jacks on theTV.
Tosimplify making connections, the connectors
are usually color coded.The jacks on your TV are
likewise color coded to match the colors of the
connectors.The coding is as follows: yellow for
video (composite) and red and white for the right
and left audio channels, respectively.Use an audio
cable with a white connector when making mono,
or nonstereo, connections.The connectors of
video cables used to connect component video or
RGB (high-resolution) jacks are often color coded
red, green, and blue. Component video connec-
tions provide you with the highest possible color
and picture resolution.
An S-Videocable connects devices such as DVD
players,VCRs, or camcorders to your TV. S-Video
provides better picture per-
formance than regular (com-
posite) video connections.
S-Videocables can be used
only with S-Video-compatibleaccessory devices.
Youmust also connect the left and right audio
cables along with S-Videobecause the S-Video
jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
ADB15 cable makes an
RGB connection to the HD
INPUT-AV5 jack on the
rear of theTV.
