Overview

For optimum picture performance, your new LCD Projection TV is capable

of receiving high definition programming through its integrated tuner. It is

also capable of receiving HDTV content from a cable or satellite box via the

video inputs (HDM[ and YPBPR component video; see page 24).

To display clear, crisp pictures, your TV must be connected properly. To

properly connect your TV, follow the basic connections provided in this

section. Advanced connection examples are provided in the separate Quick

Setup Guide accompanied with your TV. The Quick Setup Guide provides a

variety of optional equipment connection diagrams.

It is strongly recommended that you connect the antenna/cable input using

the 75-ohm coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm

twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio frequency, resulting in signal

deterioration.

When the antenna/cable connection is done, you must perform an Initial

Setup so your TV will create a listof channels you can view (see page 28).

After you can receive and view proglamming you should select the proper

Wide Mode setting to display the picture in your preferred aspect ratio. See

"Changing the Wide Screen Mode" on pages 49-51.

Making Video and

Audio Connections Below are different types of video connectors available these days. Your TV

comes with all types of connectors with the exception of the DVI connector

but your cable box or satellite receiver may be equipped with this type.

When connecting your TV. use the inputs that are available on your devices

that provide the best video performance, as described below.
