HOOKING UP YOUR PROJECTION TV (BASIC TV CONNECTIONS)

BEST VIEWING

The major benefit of this projection television is its large viewing

screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing.

NOTE: Be sure to allow a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot—for exam- ple, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.

Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if the speakers are placed too close to the televi- sion. Move the magnetic field source away from the TV until there is no picture distortion.

ANTENNA/CABLE TV HOOKUP

The TV signal coming into your home may be from a Cable TV

company or a combination UHF/VHF antenna. In either case, the basic con- nection to the TV is very easy.

A Cable TV signal may use a cable box or a direct connection and can receive up to 125 channels.

A UHF/VHF antenna can receive normal broadcast channels 2–13 for VHF and 14–69 for UHF band sig- nals.

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. But if you are located in an area with an exceptionally good signal that is free from interference and multiple image “ghosts,” an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
